This 1974 gem by Ace will always be just a perfect song, almost never seeming dated.
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Well if friends with their fancy persuasion
Don’t admit that it’s part of a scheme
Then I can’t help but have my suspicions
‘Cause I ain’t quite as dumb as I seem.
And you said you was never intending
To break up our scene this a-way
But there ain’t any use in pretending.
It could happen to us any day.
To answer the question, “this” has been going on my absolute entire life, at least 60 or so years.
October 1, 2026 was another fashion show rehearsal. I stopped for one Happy Hour cocktail on the way there. Outside of some Facebook frustration (I won’t get into it right now), the day was simply wonderful. You can see the happiness in my pre-outing photoshoot. I do love these pics and this dress!! The dress was part of the recent JCPenney $5 clearance haul. This was not as I imagined it when I started getting dressed. Then I decided to button it all the way and added the belt and then I was pleased.
For Me, The Perfect Day!
Sometimes when I let the day just happen, it turns out fantastic!
After I spent the afternoon with Sherry, I needed just one more thing to do, so I went to a Goodwill and found this bikini I just loved! It is actually two separate pieces, but they were hanging next to each other. It was meant to be!
July 10, 2022 we got her out for a spin.
My day started with a good hour workout in my basement gym (I LOVE the space). I really enjoy a routine I have of stretching everything, a 10 minute row, 10 minutes of continuous and intense ab work and about 150 reps on the legs and hips. Then I busted off a terrific 7 mile run, running each mile faster than the last.
I then showered, did my makeup, got dressed and headed to the beach. The walk from the parking lot to where I set up camp was about half a mile and I did so without a cover up, just me and my bikini. I won’t lie, that thrills me to no end. I tanned for a while, took a brief nap (in the shade) and walked around.
I had a beer at the outdoor bar and then headed home, planning to get cleaned up. But when I got home, I removed my wig and started playing with my hair, which has been cut in a feminine style the past two times (which I posted here) and has grown out a bit. I liked what I saw. It didn’t photograph well here, but I thought it was really cute.
So I changed into a t-shirt and shorts, left my makeup on and did quite a bit of work around the house. I did my laundry (I do my own “Kandi” laundry). I also hung a number of floating shelves, almost completing the decor portion of the basement. I then made dinner and my lunches for work the next few days. I did about four hours of work around the house.
I finally cleaned up and ate dinner with my wife when she came home from work. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and am planning to get out again with this new hair style!
I hope you see the absolute joyfulness in almost every picture posted throughout the blog, over many, many years. This is literally the ultimate “upper”.
