California Love

Grandson

is still at my house,

for the weekend,

so we can continue celebrating his

10th Birthday.

We went to the

Mall

to pick up a

LA Dodger's Baseball Cap

that he wanted
and on the way home I got nostalgic about where I live after listening to

Tupac's California Love.

No matter where I travel these days,

California

is the place I love to come back to.

So I hope someday you all get to visit here!

Because

California

is a

State Of Mind!

This is,

Watching A Rose Petal Break Away

Fluttering On A Slight Breeze

Absorbing The Red Hue Light

From The California Sun

So Its Beauty I Can See

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“I suddenly realized I was in California. Warm, palmy air - air you can kiss - and palms.”
- Jack Kerouac -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

It is one of my
Grandchildren's
birthday today.
So,
for your reading pleasure,
here is a little story about being in love with my wife.
From
September 9th 2016
my
Post
called
I Can Bare The Bitter Cold When We Are Together

*****
I do not know why,

but I really loved that moment when I felt warm with her.

What I mean is,
there was a time,
when the temperature outside was freezing cold

and I had the thermostat in our house turned down because last month's heating bill skyrocketed to the point to where we couldn't pay it.

There was a chill throughout our bodies,
that we couldn't escape.

But I saw salvation.

It was time to go to sleep,

and now I could cuddle up inside,
three blankets which covered our bed.

Ah!
It felt so good.

Then my

Loving Wife

hops in next to me.

The person who has been wearing a parka,

mittens,

and snow boots all day inside our home while holding onto a hot cup of cocoa.

After taking off only here coat,

gloves,

socks,

and boots,

she purposely raps her bitter cold toes around mine.

Again bringing that chill

Up & Down,

throughout my body.

Still,

I pull her close.

Even after her frosty hands hug me in places I think will never be warm again.

But like the

Winter Season

itself,

it will all soon end with the
Sunshine
from the

Spring

which brings back the warmth,
into her,
my

Sweetheart's Body

and into mine.

It's the

Springtime Warmth

of holding one another

closely.
Under a pile of blankets.

With my mouth slightly opened,
a warm breath is tossed her way,

to the top of her hair,

as I watch her sleep.

I can see in my breath,

a faint mist rise above us,
as I begin to dose off myself.

Then finally,

after fighting the bitter cold for so long together,

we are both warm again inside our
Souls,
our
Hearts,
and our
Bodies.
It is
Love.
Just by holding one another.

Then,

out of nowhere,

all happiness is shattered,
when that dreaded sound goes off,
and it is ringing in my ears!
It's the
Alarm Clock!
Telling me it is time to get ready for work.
I'll have to leave her alone now,

to hop in a frigid shower.
Once again,
I am cold.

This is,

Remembering Moments Of Love,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” - Edith Sitwell -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Don't Blame The Parents

Blame the

Media,

Movies,

Gaming,

and everything else you can think of,

instead of the

Parents

Children

and

Young Adults

who are committing violent crimes today!

If you haven't heard,

the new movie

"Joker,"

is about to start a wave of riots across the country.

FBI Issues Nationwide Shooting Warnings Over Joker Film

By Barry Petersen for CBS News.com
Aurora, Colorado — The FBI has issued an extraordinary warning about possible violence at theaters showing the upcoming movie "Joker." This comes years after a mass shooting during a "Batman" movie in Colorado in 2012. Extremists social media posts about the "Joker" movie prompted the unusual national alert. CBS News has learned authorities are concerned about the film's plot inspiring someone to commit a mass shooting. In the alert to law enforcement and the military, the FBI encouraged people to "identify two escape routes" in theaters and "run, hide, fight" if in an active shooting situation.

Why can't we have stricter gun laws,

education on the proper use of firearms,

and teach

Parents

with guns,

how to safely store their weapons?

If we keep guns out of children's hands,

they can't use them when they are in a rage!

Maybe,

if our

Government

was putting as much money into our

Educational System

as they do with the

Military,

maybe we could have enough resources to spot,

help,

and educate kids before they kill!

This is,

Remembering When The Movie

A Clockwork Orange

Was Going To Be Banned!

Jim Hauenstein

And,

I Turned Out Alright!

Okay, That Was A Bad Example!

“There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening.”
- Anthony Burgesse -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Some Songs Keep Me Stepping

I have to take my

Wife

in to see the

Doctor

today,

but here is my

Post

from

September 8th 2016

with songs that I still listen to.

It's called

Songs From My Morning Walk.

*****

After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
- Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin

One thing consists of consistence
And it's that we're all battling fear
- Car Radio - Twenty One Pilots

You're my consciousness
I can't get no sleep
You're my consciousness
Your kiss is so sweet
You're my consciousness
Erogenous
You're my reality now
- Original Sin - TwoBuckHowie with the Exact Change

Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
- Somebody Told Me - The Killers

In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print, we are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story
- The Pretender - Foo Fighters

Machine gun screams
rat-a-tat-tat
That's what it's all about
Everyone scream and shout
- El Salvador - TwoBuckHowie with the Exact Change

One of these mornings, you're goin' to rise up singin'
Then you spread your wings and you'll take the sky
But 'til that mornin', there's nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by
- Summertime - Billie Holiday

When I wake up, yeah I know Im gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know Im gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And If I get drunk, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver whatever that means
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
- I Would Walk 500 Miles - The Proclaimers

You're like a drug to me
A luxury
My sugar and gold
- Handclap - Fitz and the Tantrums

I know you're evil and wicked inside
I thought I could live with it and swallow my pride
- Don't Take the Children - TwoBuckHowie with the Exact Change

This is,

Listening To These Songs While I Was On My Walk This Morning,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it; that surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.”
- William Shakespeare -

Smalls Jazz Club

I want to tell you about my newest discovery.

It's a

Jazz Club

called,

wait for it,

Smalls Jazz Club!

I'll explain what they are all about with a little help from

Wikipedia.

Smalls Jazz Club is a jazz club at 183 West 10th Street, Greenwich Village, New York City. Established in 1994, it earned a reputation in the 1990s as a "hotbed for New York's jazz talent" with a "well-deserved reputation as one of the best places in the city to see rising talent in the New York jazz scene". Its jazz musicians are noted for being "talented, though largely unknown" while its music is characterized as "modern versions of bebop and hard bop".
