I spent an entire summer playing "Fresh Air" over and over again ;-) I couldn't tell you just why that was now...<br /><br />A porcupine juggler - Ha!

I'm glad we enjoyed each other...Hi, diedre!<br /><br />I'm glad we enjoyed each other's comments on Saturday's "P" post, dear friend. :)<br /><br />I have heard and used the word quack many times over the years, but did not realize it is the abbreviated form of quacksalver, a word I never heard or used. My spellcheck doesn't even recognize it. From this point on I vow to work "quacksalver" into conversations on a daily basis. :) <br /><br />I remember my big brother having an air gun when I was very young and we lived in the country. Do you remember the psychedelic rock band Quicksilver aka Quicksilver Messenger Service? I remember seeing the band's distinctive album covers in dorm rooms and off campus apartments during my college years:<br /><br />https://culturefactoryusa.com/product/quicksilver-messenger-service-cd-shady-grove/<br /><br />https://culturefactoryusa.com/product/quicksilver-messenger-service-cd-happy-trails/<br /><br />In my early years of blogging I had several fashionista friends in the UK and Australia. Their posts frequently discussed style icon Mary Quant.<br /><br />Mrs. Shady and I are currently watching the TV lawyer series Boston Legal for the second time, having just completed its "prequel" The Practice. I refer to The Practice as a prequel because it introduced the character Alan Shore who made James Spader a television star and ensured that audiences would follow him to his new law firm at Boston Legal when The Practice ended. Both legal dramas make frequent use of Quid Pro Quo. I was not aware of its positive connotation in Christianity. <br /><br />As a boy I dreamed of joining the circus and becoming a porcupine juggler. Maybe it's not too late to follow that dream. :)<br /><br />Have a safe and happy Monday, dear friend diedre!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887100141814372022noreply@blogger.com
