After being stuck in the doldrums of summer – under it’s thumb – behind the eight ball . . . we are back and we make sure that we save Vincent’s balloon so that he can continue having the best day ever.

I got a last minute ring on my telephone to come out and rock the mic at my new home away from home – Tierney’s in Montclair . . . Of course – I jumped at the chance to hop up and do some of the merry making.

My pal Pig came out for the show – and was even part of a sweepstakes!

I have to apologize – my normal camera was sleepy – so I ended up filming with my little magic phone – which seemed great at the time – except the colors are bananas weird . . . What are ya gonna do?!

Alright then – as always . . . Watch. Guffaw. Scratch your heads in confusion!

This is one of those tremendously great things that hasn’t happened to me in a long long while. Maybe it has happened to you. Maybe you have been on the other side and you will not be impressed at all.

While wandering around – today – my eyes were drawn to two little rectangles in the ground. The rectangles screamed at me. I did the only thing that I could do . . . I bent and scooped while still moving along. Then I smiled.

I had just won 6 bucks from the planets lottery! I used to happen every so often – but – I was super-duper thrilled because it hasn’t happened in awhile – and – it is such a tremendously great way to make a day that much better.

If this ever happens to you . . . My advice is to bend, scoop and keep walking. Don’t pause. Don’t delay and don’t get greedy and start searching around for more. You got what you got – and – it’s more than you had.

Hooray!

(and thanks!!)
