Moving To A Place Where No One Knows My Name


Not Momo or Me or a celebrity

Don’t misunderstand me; Momo and I are happy with the election result. I feel bad for all the self-serving celebrities who publically promised to move from this country because of the election. Where will they go? Canada or Europe may be their only hope for survival. If they were smart, and there are plenty of them that are not, they would seek to find the magical land of Nirvana. You know, the elusive country hidden in the Tibetan Mountains, a stone’s throw from Xanadu, which would also offer a safe harbor.

Of course, there would be drawbacks. The Monks who run these places don’t care much for Hollywood folks. There wouldn’t be movie studios, movie houses, fancy restaurants, Mercedes dealerships, or elections. In fact, there would be no work for them at all except for pruning the bushes and flowers. They might find true inner peace and illumination by spending the rest of their days there, wearing a flowing white robe as they stroll the mystical gardens accompanied by a mystical grasshopper.

Momo and I gave it some serious thought. Moving to Nirvana or Xanadu sounds warm and fuzzy, like new Christmas pajamas. After many nights of kicking the idea around, she announced that there is no way she can move to a place that doesn’t show “The Wheel of Fortune” and doesn’t have her H-E-B.

      1. LOL. Wife keeps a list in her phone. As soon as it has two things on it, it is time to go to HEB. Sometimes when we are out for other reasons, she says, “Let’s swing by HEB. I’m sure we need something they have.” My son (46 years old, disabled vet, lives with us) is kind of addicted to their sushi department.

      2. I was never much on eating Sushi, it reminded me of my grandfather cutting up a perch or mullet for bait. Momo talked me into it, and I found the bait at HEB to be darn good, but stay away from the evil green stuff; it’s as hot as a Vietnamese Death Pepper. Momo is house bound for another week after her back surgery, but as soon as she can drive the little electric cart, we’ll be going to HEB for something. My sister lives in Plano and they recently got one, so now she is hooked.

      3. LOL. So, our theory has more real-world experience evidence. HEB is addictive. Yes, the Japanese green stuff is not taking prisoners and not taking names. Boom! Clean sinuses.

  4. I often think of where I would go if I had to. The only place I can think of is called Camelot. The problem is that Camelot ended with King Arthur many eons ago. There is no better place to go on this earth than the U S of America. We have it all. It is just a matter of selecting a spot that makes us happy. At this point in my life, I’m glued to Illinois, as Blue as it is. I have never lived permanently further than fifty miles from where I was born.

    All these so called stars who want to move will all be back after a couple of weeks in their better place.

  5. Ship them now with a one way ticket… I hope they go to Canada…Trudeau will be voted out soon and Pierre Poilivere will be PM…and he is as conservative as Trump.

  6. Do you remember when PanAm projected that the first commercial flight to the moon would take off by 2000 and started taking reservations? Sounds like a solid plan, one they should rethink right about now. They could serve McDonald Happy Meals!

    Momo has the right idea; what does she think of Ryan Seacrest as the new host of Wheel?

    1. Yes, I do remember the Pan Am prediction, sort of like Marvin the Martian. Momo sort of likes Seacrest and the interaction between he and Vanna, who now sports a visible spring in her high heels. I believe a change was needed. No offense Pat, you are an institution and a humble war hero. She is still adament about not having her HEB grocery store…it’s a Texas thang.

  7. Gotta hand it to Seacrest. He’s damn good at what he does and very personable. I didn’t want to like him but I do …. much more than Ken Jennings who will never fill Alex Trebek’s shoes …. but who could? I’ll take your word on HEB seeing as how it’s a Texas thang and all. 🤠

    1. I know folks that have been to an HEB while visiting Texas, and once home, they sold their home and donated their belongings and moved to Texas so they could shop at this store. It’s that darn good. Jennings is pretty dry, sort of like a dirt and mayo sandwich. I miss Alex, but still watch the show just to keep my brain lubed up.
