In Front of the Keyboard

“Dude, you’re on a roll today.”

Here’s that guy again. He shows up from time to time to lob shots at this blog. I’m not sure what his objective is most of the time. I’m not quite sure how to respond. (To be honest, I’m not sure he even exists and isn’t instead just a voice inside my head, but we won’t go there.)

“You got nothing better to do on a weekend than sit in front of your keyboard?”

“Patience my friend. There is digging to do, and you’re free to pick up that mattock and help.”

“Wh…what are you talking about?”

“That’s ok. We won’t get started for a while. In the meantime, here’s some purple for my caretaker and companion, Chachi Bette, who recently returned from an all-too-brief sojourn down here and has now returned to the frigid land of snow-encrusted driveways.”

“But hey my friend, it’s glorious outside. The sky is blue. The sun is shining. The Mockingbirds and Cardinals and Wrens are singing. And as you have evidently noticed, the flowers are blooming. So we’ll wait for you in the backyard with the mattock and a couple shovels while this picture uploads. Join us, because this is indeed no day to be stuck in front of the keyboard! And because there is honestly no better way to celebrate a day like this than by digging in the dirt! We’ll see you in a few minutes.”
