Lol, it was supposed to go to the Ninja that is in the shadow of that guy.
I think, ninja is a female. Just because she he is shorter than the guy and the way the arms are flying around when ninja starts running away.
Sorry about that, Bliss.
Well as long as we all have fun if we get out of whack once in a while it really dont matter much tonight is about fun
Yup ! Now where are those crazy dancers and bouncers....There they are

oops can't forget 
I wonder if there are product delivery issues with recent weather in your area, and I mean ingredients for cakes, not the actual cakes.
Cakes in real bakeries are more expensive than grocery store cakes, and I dunno about where you are, but here the stores have in-store bakeries, and some of the stuff they make is really good, but if your grocer had a shortage, probably the bakeries have a shortage too.
What I want is a piece of that chocolate cake in your birthday montage. I'll have a piece with three of the gold foil candies. Mmmm.
Well I'm glad you got a cupcake. Sorry it wasn't up to snuff. I agree about the popular frosting, pile of greasy sugar, with some exceptions.
Never forget frozen cake. I haven't had Sara Lee in a long time, but remember their butter poundcake being good, and you can make buttercream frosting easily with butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and a little liquid (milk or cream, almond milk, whatever).
Yeah, right, that carrot cake is healthy! Mmm hmmm.
Tomorrow I'm going to make something I forgot about since I tasted it in the 90's at an office potluck, broccoli cornbread. I felt if I could make it well, it would become a regular meal. It has everything in it. Right now the fridge is well stocked with this wonderful organic broccolini, and HEB recentlly introduced their own store label organic cornbread mix, and I picked up some pasture raised organic eggs. Always have plenty of the Organic Valley raw milk organic cheddar. Gonna finally try it.

Good night my friend. Thanks for playing tonight. Enjoyed this evening immensely. Still sending lots of thoughts and prayers out for the two of you.
Just really pleased you were able to be here with @SirKadly on his birthday, it wouldn't have been the same without you.
We are all with you both in spirit and sending good vibes to all that will be involved in Jeans surgery.
Good Night, Mr Jimi, hope you get some good peaceful sleep tonight. And see you soon
I have to confess I have read no Russian authors, and know very little about Russian history except for the Bolshvik revolution and the assassination of the entire house of Romanov, a little about Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky, and the Holodomor against Ukraine, the US and English participation in it which is a karma now rolling back on us as the same global chess players try to destroy our food chain and make us eat bugs.
But I'll defend myself by saying I've read more French authors than most people can shake a stick at.
The song I posted is from the movie Pierrot le Fou, which was a delightful movie. Karina plays an immature lover who skips around yelling "I don't know what to do. I have nothing to do". I don't remember how it ended, or even how it began.
I wish we had HEB around us, the one I was in a few times in Killeen was just a much bigger and better store than the grocery stores in Indiana. More produce, more fresh pasta, more fresh baked goods. Much better seafood selection too, but that's partly location. We are just too far from the coast for good seafood availability.
Yah, I dunno if the shadow ninja is male or female, but it does run like a girl.
Jimi, I thought Jean was going in the hospital Monday. Sorry I didn't consider that she'd be going in on Sunday before her surgery date.
Thank you for being here for the party. I so enjoyed your company.
Peace and blessings unending for you and Jean as you walk unflinching into the unknown.

I've only read Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov. The only French work I've read is Les Miserables. And of course I read translations of all three. Tolstoy's depiction of the women in Anna Karenina just bugs the crap out of me. Anna has an affair, leaves her husband, then falls apart and kills herself because she can't live with the consequences of suddenly being no longer accepted in the aristocratic circles.
Tolstoy was a part of the aristocracy himself, and understood how things worked, which was, in part, that affairs were accepted, even almost expected, but you were also expected to abide by certain rules, rules which Anna broke by continuing to see Count Vronsky after her husband told her not to, then leaving her husband, who refused to grant her a civil divorce. At the time in Russia there were two different courts, civil and Ecclesiastical, but as the cheater she couldn't seek a divorce through the Ecclesiastical courts.
Anyway, Tolstoy also depicted his other primary female character as someone who fell apart so badly the doctor's insisted she needed to go to the baths in France to recover, and that she would most likely die otherwise, all because Vronsky chose Anna over her. Seriously? She would die from being rejected by the suitor her parents had chosen for her? The man she hadn't even met until a few days before he rejected her?
It just seems crazy to me that he could think these were believable characters.
But I have heard of Rabelais. And Balzac. Because I was in the musical The Music Man once, and they feature in a song, the stuffy mayor's wife and her posse accusing the librarian of fostering immorality because she has "dirty books" in her library.

In a way that reminds me of Flaubert's "Madame Bovary". Back then people were obsessed with the sex lives of women in a way we can no longer fathom. I think we can thank the women's rights movement that women can be the land owners, the business owners, the owners of their own bank accounts, can have full custody of their children in divorce, and not have their rights linked to their husbands (though France lagged behind sadly on that divorce/custody issue). It all makes womens foibles less interesting.
"Brothers Karamazov" (Dostoevsky) is a book I would really like to read, after hearing a podcast analysis of it a few years ago, though I don't remember much about that analysis, which had to do with religion.

It's a story that seems in some ways rather unfinished. But religion does play a role, and the differences between how each of the brothers views religion and it's role in legal matters comes up.
I'm not sure how to translate l'Escapade des Saisons, but it has the word "seasons" in the title, so it's a match.

By the time goph catches up on posts, my tea will be gone and I'll be ready to call it a night.
I'm sticking until the last one says goodnight.
Hate to see it end, but as they say about all good things...

25 or 6 to 4 was a favorite to play when I was in my high school marching band. I played bass clarinet and this has a really good bass line.I was just about to post a different version of the very same song.
