giving in, or up?

 I am so frustrated abut those stupid lights

    Last night I ordered a new light package.  Yes, it is expensive, but maybe my problems with the Dickens Village will be brought to light.  (clever pun, eh?)

    I don't know if you ever heard of them but once upon a time Tom Swifies were popular.  Sure, it might have been in the 1890s, but they were popular.

    And yes, I said 1890s, although I have no idea when.

    Some examples:

    The light now works, Tom said brightly.

    I think  the battery needs charging, Tom weakly said.

    The Earth is not round, Tom  flatly stated.

    I think we blew a circuit, Tom darkly muttered.

    Tom always spoke with an adjective that reflected the sentence.

    And while now I am a sophisticated adult, I can admit there was a time in my young life when several of us would gather and refuse to speak unless we spoke as a Tom Swiftie.

    Ah....... I mis those days.

    Maybe I should start a movement and call them Taylor Swifts?

    Jackie and I finished watching Man on the Inside  season 2 and I gotta say, I loved it!

    The final scene was so .... don't know the right word.  Sweet?  Endearing? Happy?  Satisfying?

    It's on Netflix and stars Ted Danson.  I highly recommend it.  You might start with season 1 for background.
