Happy Super Bowl Day. It's indoors all day for me and I can't wait for Billy Berger to get up here to hook up my healthy computer so that I can dump this lap top. If you're going to watch the game, root for my bet: Patriots --12 and Under 53.5. It means I win if the Patriots win by more than 12 points and if the total score is under 53.5. I bet a whole $5 on each of those factors. I don't have too much money left after Friday's party. Those who read this and who wonder why they were not invited: I only invited neighbors from our building and people who were in our show last year--and so that Rhoda would have someone from her family here, I invited her cousins, Sandy and Irwin. Rhoda has so many friends who love her I would have had to hire the Superdome for the party, and taken out a bank loan to equal the national debt. Her sister, Geri, was invited, but she went up north to see a new granddaughter.
For those who are puzzled by the Latin title of this blog, it refers to a quotation that my grandson (the surfer-artist) Sean Tully wants to tattoo on his body. In translation it means "...my fire steers me through the frigid waters". I don't know where he picked that up, but I can surely understand how and what he feels about it. Unfortunately, I don't think there's room anywhere on his body for that tattoo except across his ass. And who would read it except while lying prone atop a significant other with a mirror on the ceiling. And even then it would read ass backwards. But boys will be boys.
Have a nice day and may the better team win--(by more than 12 pts.)

but it will not leave the memory
of that other shore where once it burned
for my fire can swim me through the frigid water
regardless of the scrictures of law.

Oops, 2nd correction:
In the last line, it's "strictures", not "scrictures"
The original was in Spanish. The key phrase reads:
"nadar sabe me llama la agua fria"
