You are still looking for a word for spooky
and awoke during the night with ‘Casper’ on your mind, like Casper the Friendly
Ghost. This reminds you of the Holy Ghost from the lines of Jimmy Buffet’s
song, “Vampires Mummies and the Holy Ghost”. – Amorella

Vampires, Mummies & The Holy Ghost Lyrics
"Vampires,
Mummies & The Holy Ghost" was written by Jimmy Buffett; Roger Guth;
Jim Mayer; Peter Mayer.
Oh rock and
roll is a scary business no hit records
No MTV
videos, you'll never make it here, scary
Not, let's
do it coral reefers
Looked in my
laptop, what did I see?
A flashin'
message said, "Today: Therapy"
Rather walk
through fire than converse with my shrink
But I'm
getting better that's what some people think
Talk about
denial and dysfunctional things
Head's like
a bell some days it dongs and it dings
Me brain's
playin' tricks on me it likes to shift gears
Spend lots
of money, but I'm tacklin' my fears
Now
vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost
These are
the things that terrify me the most
No aliens,
psychopaths or MTV hosts scare me
Like
vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost
Had a dream
last night took a time travellin' ride
Back to my
childhood where those monsters reside
They snack
on innocence and dine on self-esteem
But I like
to be in touch with what makes me scream
Vampires,
mummies and the Holy Ghost
These are
the things that terrify me the most
No alien,
psychopath or MTV host scares me
Like vampires,
mummies and the Holy Ghost
I was never
ever frightened
By the
murderer on our block
He nurtured
orchids and raised hamsters
The
neighborhood is still in shock
So many
dragons lurking out in the fog
So many
crazy people mumblin' monologues
It's not the
tales of Stephen King that I've read
I need
protection from the things in my head
Like
vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost
These are
the things that terrify me the most
No alien,
psychopath or MTV host scares me
Like
vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost

0901
hours. This is one of my favorite Jimmy Buffet songs.
Why? – Amorella
0902
hours. I cannot articulate this reasonably.
“Dark Humor” will suffice, boy. – Amorella
0905
hours. Simply put, thank you. I would have never thought of that.
That’s because you sometimes make things in
your head more complicated than they are. – Amorella
0909
hours. Memories recollected and resurrected.
Post.
- Amorella
0911
hours. Dark humor doesn’t always work. The wind has picked up and the trees are
shaking. Blue skies and sunny weather now, but it is supposed to rain. It is
time for a nap before I do my exercises.
You
rested but then Carol suggested the community center so, she walked nine laps
and you walked six, the last two without stopping. This shows you can do two
laps at a time to build up your endurance. You also wore your CIA cap given to
you by a friend to encourage the question of who you were to students and some
faculty alike. Today however you were suddenly concerned that someone might
think you were impersonating a CIA officer and if someone asked you were going
to say, “It was given to me by an old friend with a sense of humor. I wear it
in the darkest of humor.” I added the last part because that is what you are
thinking. – Amorella
1117
hours. My best friend at old Mason was/is Gary P. He helped me out by listening
and talking. When he saw me wearing the hat for ‘hat day’ the first time he
smiled and said, “You are the central intelligence agency, orndorff.” That was
a joke too, but as a newcomer to the school people didn’t know what to think of
me but assumed I was pretty smart. I suppose because I had been teaching at
Indian Hill. Then the question, why did orndorff come to Mason from IH? There
were always questions. Why were you in South America? Why are you so quiet and
reserved? Why do you teach literature like it is a college course? You are the
only teacher with a brand new VW.GTI. Why do you live in ‘little’ Mason? I was
the new kid on the block and nothing much went on in the little farm town of
Mason, Ohio. Kids wanted a story and some members of the faculty told them
some. Rumors of CIA and the like. I was the new entertainment.
Nothing wrong with telling the truth, boy.
Post. – Amorella
1129
hours. I probably should put the cap away and get something else distinctive, a
cap that counterbalances my black beret.
Look, and perhaps you will find something
else that also fits your personality. Orndorff, the biggest joke is that no one
in their right mind, after looking at you, would think you were ever in the
CIA. – Amorella
1134
hours. I forgot that. Gary and I used to joke about it because I told him those
CIA fellows that were at our wedding in Alexandria, Virginia didn’t look kike
CIA people either; they were just two normal looking forty-five to fifty year
olds. We thought it was funny and even added to the rumors long before the cap
made the scene. Such is our world, full of fantasy and intrigue – anything to
blight out the everyday reality most people live. I’ll look for a new summer
cap to cover my balding head.
You
watched last week’s “Grimm” while Carol was having her hair cut. Now, you are
at the north lot of Pine Hill Lakes Park. The redbuds are really out and many
tree leaves are uncurled and out. Carol is starting page one of a new book, The
Target by David Baldacci. – Amorella
You
have some six hundred words on Dead Nine but as you think – you didn’t have
your heart into it. – Amorella
1607
hours. Or my mind either, Amorella; it doesn’t have a reason to it.
Yes it does – but the thought is not
expressing itself. Perhaps later. – Amorella
1610
hours. We are at Kroger’s before heading home.
You
and Carol had left over turkey-veggie soup for supper and watched “Castle” and
NCIS.LA” as well as NBC News. She is upstairs to read and you will go up after
you take you pen-shot at nine. – Amorella
2035
hours. I don’t mind taking the shot. Pricking the finger for blood hurts once
in a while but the pen-shot has never hurt, at least not so far. Carol just
turned on the television; she likes background noise I think it helps her
concentrate on reading. I have nothing going on in my head. I am alive, I
exist, that is about the extent of it at the moment. I did make up a new word
today, unless someone else has the name coined already. There is an article
online about a store in Japan that now has a ‘bot’ receptionist. Introducing
the article on my FB page I call her a livebot. She can’t answer questions
though. I figure that we will soon have ‘bots’ that look mostly human and will
have a Suri like voice. I think men don’t like themselves all that much and
would rather make the bots look feminine. I enjoy a feminine voice on my GPS. I
like the English sounding lady better. I know some women give their cars a male
name and some men give their cars a woman’s name. Does that make people sexist?
I try to always thank Suri for responding with an answer or a reply. She
responds to the thank you politely. Being polite is a part of being civilized.
Bots should be programmed likewise. Why not?
Not everyone would agree orndorff. Bots you
are speaking of are machinery created to be humanoid-like. Isn’t making them
appear and sound human dishonest? – Amorella
2052
hours. No doubt a lot of being polite is dishonest also. Politeness is a
bumper, a kind of armor plate each person has for the first line of
self-protection. It is a camouflage of sound and behavior that helps keep
people civil, like dressing for business or for pleasure, formal or informal. When
in Rome as the old Latin saying goes, act like a Roman. Actually, the phrase is
attributed to St. Ambrose – Medieval Latin: “si fueris Rōmae,
Rōmānō vīvitō mōre; si fueris alibī, vīvitō sicut ibi.” The preceding translation comes from wiktionaryDOTorg so
it is easier to imagine St. Ambrose actually using the words.
Time to take your shot and retreat to the
bedroom to listen to some music on the headphones before going to bed.
