The Monday Morning Memo

I can’t believe this… I have been watching this video non stop for the last 2 days and I read today’s memo…and it’s in the first sentence…Fred and Ginger…I think she may have been my wife in a previous life.

I spoke with my father over the weekend…he is a drummer…he’s 86 years old but still has the mind and brain and memory of a 26 year old…I asked him this question…name 5 things you pay for but never use…number one is ‘insurance’…I did the math obviously…my Ma (Mary Meechan) and my glorious Da (Thomas Brannan McDowall the 3rd)…sometimes the turd…have spent $396,000 on insurance…and never used it once…it’s the biggest ‘peace of mind’ industry in the world…we grew up poor but they spent almost every penny they earned on insurance…we ate stew every day while they went to sleep at night with the comfort that we were all insured…hilarious…

TBMcD III…(I am the IV)…can’t stop being percussive…he drives my 4 wonderful sisters mad…he hits everything with anything he can lay his hands on…I grew up in amazement watching him…a construction worker earning enough money to take care of 6 hungry kids…and using his right hemisphere, every time he got the chance, to hit something and make music…we both played the spoons together on a hilarious Skype exchange last night…

Fred and Ginger use their sexual tension on this one and dance AT each other…it’s tribal…

Only 7 days till we break the bread…

Love you brother…

Random Quote:

“”How he faced death the records do not say; but I know, for I knew the soul of the lad. Within the breast of that pale youth there dwelt a lion’s heart. He held his own life and reputation lightly. He sided with the weak, the ignorant, the unfortunate, and his strength and influence were ever given lavishly to those in need… So here’s to you, Steve Crane, wherever you may be!””

- Elbert Hubbard eulogizing Stephen Crane in the February, 1897 issue of Philistine magazine. But Crane was alive, having survived the sinking of the Commodore off the coast of Cuba several weeks earlier — in fact, Crane was already turning the experience into the famous title-story of The Open Boat and Other Stories. Crane was notoriously hard to track, or to talk down: the previous April he was in Greece, covering the Greco-Turkish war; the next April he was back in Cuba for the Spanish-American war; the next April, suffering from the ailments which came from such a pace, he was making out his will. He died shortly after, aged twenty-eight. - Steve King, Today in Literature
