Lmao! Segovia,Dizzy Gillespie, annd B. B. King are the only geriatrics I could see live and keep a straight face.
Its kind of hard to watch people my father's age jump around on stage and do......this...
They took out the Rock n Roll and sex and anted up on the drugs.
My wife and I saw him about a day after Jerry Garcia died. Sir Elton opened the show with "I'm Still Standing". It was at a nearby outdoor amphitheater. The show was very entertaining. This was in the '90s, so he had over 20 years of songs to choose from. I've been a fan since his first hit, "Your Song" in 1970. A friend told me about him, actually. 
So my work just screwed all of us. Yesterday they decided to let us pick which day to use our roving holiday, the choice being the day after thanksgiving or the friday before christmas. Then today they revised that decision and chose for us. And not the way I had wanted it to go. So now instead of having the day after thanksgiving off so I can go visit friends in Los Angeles, I now get a four day weekend for christmas. Very uncool of them to change their minds after most of us asked for the thanksgiving day off and made out of state plans.
Today's shave journal:
Been using the CBL Roasted Oatmeal Stout soap every day for a few weeks now and I love it....but decided to grab something different this morning on a whim. I have a sample of CBL Oud Minerale that I love the scent of....so I grabbed that and lathered her up with my Ever-Ready brush that I've nicknamed Ebbets (after the Ever-Ready Shaving Brushes ad on the outfield wall at old Ebbets field in Brooklyn)
...and since I was on a whim shave, I grabbed the bakelite razor that I found a few years ago in an antique shop with a cool airplane propeller on the top cap...
...I also gave this one a nickname.....Noonan.....after Emilia Earhart's navigator (he may have been the one that got them lost and who knows what happened to them).
The shave was proceeding nicely, although this razor has always been a bit harsh for me and I can best describe it as an 11 on blade exposure. So I'm getting a few weepers around the corners of my mouth (which is typical for this razor) but when I went to shave my upper lip, I got a bit too close to the edge of my nostril and nicked myself. A half a pint and a third of a roll of toilet paper later I finally got the bleeding to stop. The alum block was covered in blood and my bath towel is a nice piece of crime scene evidence. Its times like these that you discover that there are a few spots on your body where a bandaid just won't go. So I won't be using Noonan again any time soon.
With all the medical attention paid to my nose, I was out of time to use any aftershave or cologne and really.....I wasn't in the mood at that point. So here I sit....unscented.
See ya Later!

I am pretty sure the Twitter employees are having a far worse Friday.
Awesome entry..

We simply resorted to covert wildcat strikes.
They "generously" allowed us to use PTO if we wanted to.
at the work management!
at the soap choices!Don’t worry - TSC has a nurse on staff
Very mixed bag of sports ball this past weekend. The Raiders continued their suckage. Arsenal beat Chelsea. University of Memphis Tigers got stomped......but my Vegas Golden Knights continued their hot streak, beating the Canadiens. They now have the best record in the league.

Maybe I missed the pretext…what’s next in life? Just moving homes or going somewhere else completely?
Down-sizing and moving to a smaller house. Don't need a 4-bedroom house for just the two of us. The current plan is to stay here in Vegas.
From what I have read that is the Contact Propeller razor from around the 50s. I believe Contact was the brand, and Propeller is the unofficial name based on the head design.
