To all my den mates of whom I consider myself a fan, I have been suffering from a chronic case of Procrastinationus Maximus. I tried climbing up on my horse a couple of times but it has the rickets. Appolgies for being a tad behind on reviews..as you can see they are in my cue now.

Procrastination killed the kitty Satisfaction had no pity Used ninth life to no avail Kitty reaper did prevail I put off until tomorrow What I should have done today It doesn’t really matter I won’t do it anyway A rolling stone may not gather moss but A fat ass sitting in a chair collects no dust I got out of bed this morning Ready to conquer the world Then I looked upon my laundry list And lack of ambition soon unfurled I will not be Napoleon In any shape or form today Nor will I mimic Ghengis Khan My motivation’s gone astray That pillow’s looking mighty good It expunged the conquest from my head So now the world’s a safer place I’m going back to bed You know that thing you asked me To do about a week ago Good I forgot about it too I opened up my email and Was quite chagrinned to find Somehow I have managed To get one hundred reviews behind I so enjoy the reading I have fun with the reviews Procrastination time is over as soon As I can motivate my muse If lazy is as lazy does And motivation grew on trees My forest would be petrified Devoid of busy bees The snail would be the sprinter The leaves would refuse to fall While I laid there in my hammock Enjoying the slow pace of it all Copyright 2010 Patrick Granfors

Time to relax and float downstream. Just skip those reviews and you'll feel fine again

Take care,

here I thought it was something [P]rovocative like [P}romiscuity. No big deal, you won't have anything to worry about creatively, that is, until after tomorrow (Tuesday) because the election will be over.

cheers,

We all go through these bouts of using the "P" word extensively! Loved your witty rant!

Silly me ... I thought you were going to elaborate on the (P)hallic (P)rotuberance. But yup ... who hasn't succumbed to bouts of cunctation, or of dilatoriness, or of shillyshallying. It's something that's easy to be empathetic with - yupperbud - because who doesn't (occasionally) fall under its (P)ITA (pain in the ass) enchantment. (P)eace ... r

I think most of us can honestly admit to having "been there" on more than one occasion, Patrick. Cleverly and honestly share via your usual wit and humor. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

I just figured you were on an anniversary trip rocking and rolling with Eileen ~ I was imagining all sorts of visuals about the happy couple and quite pleased for her sake that you were taking so long. There was one woman in the world who was getting some attention, that's how I looked at it anyway!
Glad you're back and Feeeeeeeel the guilt.

You're not alone, Patrick. I think we all get that way from time to time. Don't sweat the small stuff. Be well my friend and God bless. Good job with this write too btw. ;-)

As always, my good friend, your words seem to come from some deep, mental place not allowed by other mere mortals because you wrap common sense and logic with absolute humor... Procrastination indeed. I've put off dumping my hamper into the washing machine so long now that socks and underwear are littered about the floor... Well, not really that bad but, oh, what the hell, I'll do a load of laundry tomorrow, possibly.
