Mercury is no longer in retrograde

In theory, Mercury is no longer in retrograde. In theory. Sunday morning, after downloading all the e–mail, and packing up the computer to go back to work, I had to wrestle with the super trick retractable phone cord, taking three frustrating tries to finally undo it from the phone. I was about to abandon it, but then the Moon moved into Aries, and I managed to finally dig it out of the socket, sort of one last reminder that Mercury is still playing tricks with communication devices. Blackened Flounder. Fresh Drum. Oysters fresh out of the Gulf. Approximately 4 dozen oysters fresh out of the Gulf, if you believe the tales about me. I’m going to miss the seafood. Following the middle school teacher’s convention, there was the state wide a drag queen affair, and I had to suggest that one of the characters looked like he had just come from the Parrot Head show, complete with coconut brasserie. Snippet from a comment, “So I saw this guy hitch up his gown, and make a mad dash to the Men’s Room.” Oh yes, I’ll miss CC. This one just in, one from the road.
