Our current President has become famous for embarrassing moments. He fell up the stairs, several times, as he attempted to reach the safety of Air Force One.
Leaving the stage after a speech caused him some confusion and a sandbag tripped him on another occasion.
A bicycle accident also caused further embarrassment.
It is not uncommon for our leader to make confusing comments that leaves the listener more than puzzled.
I must confess I have been critical of these unusual gaffes as the media shares them with us.
But of late I have been eating humble pie so to speak as I have been responsible for my own embarrassing gaffes.
Just yesterday as I was golfing with my brother-in-law Father Stan who of course is a Catholic priest. (How would you like to go to confession to your brother-in-law?) A topic for a future blog I would think. š
Now back to the golf game.
I am always the guy who has the score card and keeps score which I was faithfully executing yesterday.
Around the 5th hole I was writing each of our stroke totals down when I noticed the names on the score card.
First came my name, Mike. Very Normal.
Next should have been Stan’s name but in place of Stan I had written Kathie!!
I was golfing with my wife in her absence!
How would a psychiatrist analyze that gigantic error?
Move over President Joe! š
After eighteen holes of golf, I came home and rested a bit and then decided to venture to the garden and pick the ripe tomatoes.
I carried a plastic tray and was filling it with huge, red tomatoes, the kind you use when it’s bacon, lettuce and tomato feasting time.
The tray was getting quite full, and I stepped forward to the next tomato plant ducking under a tall weed as I did.
The ducking maneuver caused me to topple forward, and I ended up doing a spectacular somersault and landing flat on my back.
I was very proud that during the fall not one tomato escaped the tray! š
The fall made President Biden’s bike accident look very unspectacular.
The biggest gaffe was yet to come, however, and I wonder how many of my blog readers noticed it?
I try to write a blog twice a month and as the blog writing time approaches, I need a topic to blog about.
Sometimes something very interesting or exciting happens during the week that is just dripping with blog potential. And then there are weeks where my blog reservoir is empty.
Empty blog reservoirs are a blogger’s nightmare. š
So that may help explain my final “Biden” blunder as I call it.
Scroll back to April 23rd and check out the blog titled, Say That Again.
Now venture forward to my August 10th blog and note the title of that blog, Say That Again!
I forgot I had already written a blog about my upcoming book!
I’m beginning to think I have Presidental potential! Forgetful, clumsy and repetitive all rolled into one. š
I started out one of those blogs sharing how Kathie and her friend tried to communicate the name of the book and the confusion that resulted.
In the second blog I shared that same hilarious ‘Say That Again’ joke for the final punch line in the blog.
Sadly, if I am accused of plagiarizing, I would have to reply, “guilty”.
Each blog has some new information so boredom shouldn’t have set in too severely.
I apologize for my forgetfulness. I will try not to make a habit of this overkill of blog repetitiveness.
I ask you the readers to pray that my life will be filled with exciting, fun and hilarious experiences and that the blog reservoir never goes dry.
Thank you in advance. š
And now that I have this presidential theme going, I suppose I should declare whether I am a Democrat, Republican or Independent.
I believe I will pass on that opportunity, however, and instead suggest we all try, no matter the party, pull together, love each other and love our wonderful country. š
Until next time.
