      good afternoon campers!!!...who is up and adam....well i guess all adam's would be up, unless the adam lives in say australia...."australia" (sound effects...maybe echoey....is that a word?)....., and then they might be going to sleep ....or maybe they work night shift, so i suppose they could be going to sleep too.....well anyway....where did that phrase come from?....pause a minute....be right back......and you can be left front....ha ha ha......anyway pause..........................i'm back....oh my gosh i'm laughing so hard....kind of like tom hanks laughing during the money pit....that blast of laughing, cause i'm so goofy....so i looked up the phrase and it is really "up and at em".....ha ha ha....adam, at em......there's even an up and atom.....oh my gosh that just started my day off on the right track!!!
     speaking of tracks....linda.....my mom's cousin who was talking about tracks....trains to be precise...but it was all about losing your train of thought......captain courageous.....sorry my mind jumped the track..that book just came to mind.....i've been reading that book,..... why?....well cause i've read all the others i have numerous times....even acted out a couple to make them more interesting....made them into operas, mystery theatre, puppet shows....sometimes your feet have to be puppets too when acting out some books, like "the good earth"....i mean when all the charactors are trying to find food cause they are starving, well i was using my feet, i attached puppets to the dogs and cats, my drum kit had puppets attached to it....it was very intense....bert and ernie played the main charactors...... so anyway i'm trying to read "captain courageous".....i do not speak fisherman......it is crazy hard to follow....well for me.....it's kind of like shakespeare lived in massachusetts (that is a hard word to spell...it's kinda like you say "mass", then you sneeze, then you set the ts down....actually......ha ha my youngest daughter used to say "actually" all the time when she was about 3....very british acting...too funny, .....but actually.....that whole thing works for spelling massachusetts....try it....you'll see! )....so massachusetts shakespeare fished on a boat where they only spoke pig latin......by the way, what is pig latin.....pigs that speak latin?.....i really have never heard them, doesn't mean they don't exist....my twins took latin, i asked one of them "how do you know if you are speaking it correctly ...i mean it is a dead language"....i believe she said something to me in latin............so really you could say it anyway you want and gather that it's correct, unless you go to rome.....where i believe they still speak it, so then it isn't a dead language after all, just a regional language......which is kinda the way most languages are i gather.....what is it i am gathering?....oh yeah my thought......and there they go again.......boy i'm a bad speller today...you should see all the red lines.........so back to jumping train tracks......i think i've made myself clear....
          so now that all trains are on the track.....or a track....or b track....possibly even d track.....ha ha.....like dee track.......anyway, and we are all "up and adam"....even adam!...........shake your quarantine dust off and let's rock this day!!! have a super terrific  tuesday!!!...be groovy yall!!
