I would have breezed by, but Edie, the last flower child, saw it, and drew my attention to it, singing the Donovan song. I would have waited to 7 a.m., but was fairly confident that no one would get it -- misplaced confidence, once again. Congratulations Tony. Can't blame you for not wanting the bowling ball. Let me look around the office and see something more shipable and suggest an alternate prize.

I'm older than Neil and, while I guess I've heard the term "hurdy-gurdy," I had absolutely no freaking idea what it referred to. Nor do I remember the Donovan song. Enjoy the "undrilled, unused though not new bowling ball," Tony! : ) Jakashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-37388349244244529872017-09-02T01:06:36.792-05:002017-09-02T01:06:36.792-05:00Shoot!

I always thought that it referred to a huge thing like a calliope.<br />I also never knew what one looked like, so now I know.<br />But I'm not answering, because I have absolutely no use for a bowling ball, no matter who signed it. Well, a Babe Ruth signed one yes, but some no talent actress no one ever heard of.Clark St.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09634234069783123180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-70183755266721978532017-09-02T00:49:31.753-05:002017-09-02T00:49:31.753-05:00It's a Hurdy-gurdy.It's a Hurdy-gurdy.
