EPISODE  108    FEAR OF COVID 19 HAS MADE ME LEERY OF BARBER SHOPS\u2026THE RESULT?<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
EPISODE 108<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
SO I have sent you 108 stories\u2026episodes\u2026.<\/div>\n
TONIGHT I am too tired to do another so Marjorie thought<\/div>\n
some of you might wonder what i look light\u2026.with or<\/div>\n
without hair.   Thanks Brad  for sending the pic with the<\/div>\n
curly red hair.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
A confession:  Even though the episodes take a lot of time writing the<\/div>\n
script and then searching through a thousand  or more photos to<\/div>\n
try and bring the scripts to life\u2026even though these stories  take a lot<\/div>\n
of work.  I enjoy doing them.  Recording events that have affected<\/div>\n
our tiny microcosmic community has and will continue to be<\/div>\n
quite  enjoyable.  Just knowing that some of you take the time to<\/div>\n
read them is flattering indeed.  I know some of you, like  Bill<\/div>\n
McKay, only look at the pictures.  That is why Episode 108 is<\/div>\n
so short.   No reading  required.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I believe the ten years spent in the mining game\u2026Game? I believe<\/div>\n
those glimpses of Canada were worth recording.   And then there <\/div>\n
is the Victor Poppa diary of sex and bombing in World War II.<\/div>\n
Those adventures  would never have seen  the light<\/div>\n
of day without the help of Covid 10.  And, oh yes, My dad, Red Skeoch,<\/div>\n
was an unconventional father proud of his two sons in<\/div>\n
a backhanded way.  \u201cOne is a gutsy bugger and the other<\/div>\n
is as stupid as Joe\u2019s dog.\u201d  Dad  really new how to flatter<\/div>\n
people.   No one would remember Dad except the people<\/div>\n
he borrowed $20 from.  My brother and I thought our mother\u2019s <\/div>\n
name was Methusala until we  discovered that was  the oldest<\/div>\n
person in the Bible.  Mom was one year older than Dad, hence<\/div>\n
the name Methusalum.  (Dad added the \u2018um\u2026sounded better\u2026he would have<\/div>\n
modernized the whole Bible were it not for the fact he found<\/div>\n
the Daily Racing Form more interesting.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
You want to know where the spark came from?  Voltaire, the<\/div>\n
French author, wrote a book titled  Candide in which an innocent<\/div>\n
and  naive young lad, Candide,  set out to see the world with his teacher,<\/div>\n
Pangloss, as a guide.  What does  Pangloss  mean?<\/div>\n
Big Mouth.   Voltaire\u2019s affectiom for teachers was limited.<\/div>\n
Those of you in isolation might like to find the book.  Not<\/div>\n
hard to read. Some Chapters are only 2 pages long.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The stories will keep coming.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
God, I wish I did not get a haircut today.  My curls were better<\/div>\n
than Justin Trudeau\u2019s.  Vanity.  All is Vanity.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
P>S>  And some  of you are  writing stories as well.  Great.<\/div>\n
I feel justified.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

curly hair.   Marjorie took the other\u2026the picture  with no hair.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
