3/3/23 – home.

I live 0.3 miles from the w&od /custis intersection, so when I’m on my way back from a big ride in DC or MD I often start singing my “home” song right about here

****this post has 1 picture.
What’s below is a YouTube link****

This is my “home” song btw https://youtu.be/o9gK2fOq4MY

Baseball fans like seeing people cross home plate.

3/3/23 “No place like home” said Dorothy as she clicked her heels and turned in circles. She went back to Auntie M in Kansas. Tomorrow I return to VA but today cycling with really positive, fun, and kind guide from Venezuela and people from Canada briefly reminds me of home.

These baby goats at Frying Pan Park, about a week old, live a very good life in their nice warm, dry barn home.

3/3/2023 There is no place like home

Nothing says home more than the smell of fresh baked goodies.

“There’s no place like home.” That’s exactly what I was thinking at the end of my long, cold, and wet ride today.

Okay. New topics.

I am typing new topics as a new post because the first post in this thread cannot take any more characters.

Anyone need a pick-me-up? This week’s scavenger hunt is inspired by Burl Ives’ “The Donut Song” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzV-8TofHTw).
It’s a good song to sing when you need to remember to accentuate the positive, and it comes with a bonus challenge! Any day of the week earn an extra point for finding one of these things from Verse 2:
– Bulldog wearing Pants,
– Dancing Alligator,
– something from “Pango Pango”

3/4/23 Saturday Lines
3/5/23 Sunday Squares
3/6/23 Monday Donut
3/7/23 Tuesday Hole
3/8/23 Wednesday Sparrow
3/9/23 Thursday Rainbow
3/10/23 Friday Philosophy

So does that mean TWO photos for the day we find the bulldog wearing pants — or one post with two photos – or the bulldog instead of whatever that day’s subject is? You know I’m a rule follower – gimme some rules! Please.

The Chesapeake Bay will always be home to me. My first memories are fishing with my grandfather. Zero sunscreen, ham sandwiches and beer! Growing up every summer weekend was a boat weekend and every vacation was spent on the boat cruising the Bay. We would take our bikes and the parents would give us kids $20 and told us to get lost! So much fun. [ATTACH]30574[/ATTACH]

This made me laugh, but it’s a horrible song lol ❤️ Whatever works!

My parents loved Burl Ives and I grew up to love his music.

How can you say it’s horrible? It’s a silly song written for kids to enjoy.

When I used to work in an office in downtown DC and bike the Capital Crescent Trail back and forth from my home in Bethesda, I always started to feel like I was at home when I reached the bridge over River Road. From there it is only a mile to downtown Bethesda, then another 2.5 miles after that to home.

I did write them down, just in case. But…. you could just delete some of the older ones (we don’t need those anymore). Just trying to be helpful for clueless people like me.

Or edit out all the explanatory text for each day

Exactly. It’s written “for kids to enjoy” or parents with kids. I’m neither.

It also sounded like a direct rebuke to seeing the Wizard of Oz as anything but another silly kids story with wonderful streets of gold.

I’m definitely not against seasoning this sometimes difficult life with large doses of thankfulness for the many wonderful things surrounding us, but living in a fantasy world of trickle-down wonders is just too much Blue Pill for me. There’s a subtle difference between thankfulness and “positive-thinking” that blocks out realty. So, it bugged me when applied to adults. But I’ve been crabby lately. Catch me on a better day. As a “philosophy” (not a kid’s purview to begin with), it’s putting your head in the sand a bit.
