I like the way you think. I'm gonna propose the Grumby-Anderson Shortline, abbreviated GAS, at the next HOA meeting.

Foop! ... I like it. Shorter and simpler than "Dadgummit Blah!", but equally expressive.

Thanks stinks about the Whidbey Island digs. I was really looking forward to seeing photos/reading about your stay there.

Thank goodness for Team Anderson's above-average skills when it comes to rolling through adversity, shifting plans, and adapting to the conditions of the day!

Still crossing my fingers for Greece plan to work out somehow ..

That does it. I’m contacting Jeff to see if we can have a poetry page added to the website.

Or, to a whole set of yards! It’s probably not too late to fit in a loop that circles your whole complex. You could have a cute little depot standing right outside your door.

That would be a great addition to the back yard!

Sheepish-looking goat
Downward tail, ears, and eyeballs
Watching too much news?

I haven’t thought of this word in a long time. When it came back to me, I was thinking I first heard it in The Music Man, but that was poop: when Mayor Shinn tells his wife Eulalie that he doesn’t want to hear one more poop out of her, and she observes that she thinks he meant peep. So it wasn’t that.

So maybe I picked it up in childhood. My parents had a number of minced oaths in their vocabularies, including fap and poop; so maybe it’s derivative of those. Or maybe it came from a comic strip or Mad Magazine? Foop, I don’t know!

These are some kind of onions and it looks like they are being grown for seed? Or do they let them flower before being harvested? I don't know.

I always think of it when I’m riding along a great descent like the ones in the video. It feels like flying!

It was odd to me to hear Fly Like and Eagle accompanying a cycling video. I always associate that song with skiing because I sing it silently to myself to time my turns.

I sympathize with your current state of limbo due to the uncertainty of Greece and the extenuating circumstances behind the Whidbey Island cancellation. Yet, it takes a certain kind of optimism to use the word "Foop." Most folks would have used a different F-word.

Come to think of it, I'd like to see "Foop" included in the next edition of the OED.

What a conundrum! (the Greece decision)

I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat to read what happens next.

Greens and coffee substitute. I find it somewhat bitter for my taste.
