MY BUCKET LIST
Cooking With Chef Carlo ^ | 05/13/2015 | Carlo3b

MY BUCKET LIST

Then I went way back into my memory and brought back stuff I hadn't thought about in years.. That was fun, my older memories are fresher than the new stuff, like did I just take the pill I have to take at..what was the time I was..?? Now, I have plenty of new stories that I recall, that I can share with my kids and grandkids, because it's like bedtime stories, because they still go to sleep shortly after I start them, the little darlings..

Getting back to my BUCKET LIST, I do remember having a special place for an especially beautiful actress, Maureen Ohara, that I thought she and I could click if given the chance.. I had the pleasure of seeing her on an early morning coffee break, on the back-lot of Columbia Studios, some years back, with the sunshine, highlighting her figure and flaming red hair that had the look of an angel, we exchanged hellos, and I never forgot it.. swoon.. Do angels have red hair, well they should.. Anyway I thought I would look her up on google, and, who knows?? Much to my surprise shes still around, and unmarried.. Fate takes a hand..

I wondered if she would remember me, she did smile at me and told me; I "..would catch flies with my mouth a gasp", as it was.. That at least is something to get the conversation going.. I know I've changed a bit since 1963, but who hasn't? I see she was born in 1920, so she may have altered a bit herself, but I doubt it, but she is older than me and may like younger men, and I am differenately yyounger.. You can never win a race without running, so give it a chance.. You never know. Right?.. s

I thought about contacting her in the latest technology, text, to show off my youth, but I can't do that on my wall phone, because I took it apart to check for a keyboard, but it may be an early model.. Then I remembered hearing about Twitter, from my grandkids, and thought, all the really big stars have Twitter accounts, so I looked Twitter up on Google, don'tcha just love that thing? What do they call folks who Twit, Twit's, I wouldn't like that, but what the heck..

Geeez, what the Hell, I'll never figger this out, hashtags, misspelling, numbers for words.. But I took it it like everything else new in my life, horribly.. I sent out dozens of Tweets, with every possible hashtag I thought appropriate, Maureen is this U#MaureenOhara, Maureen is this U#redheadedwoman, Maureen is this U#TheQuietMan, like I thought maybe one of her best movies, but to no avail.. I did get back some really interesting replies, especially from my, Maureen is this U#HowGreenIsYourValley, that kid belongs in reform school..

Finally, I thought, what am I doing, if I found her, what would I do with her, tell her stories, get amorous, I still get excited, but forgot why.. I am going back on twitter, to teach them how to spell.. Never mind.. Time for a nap..

My status today: “Bucket list item done: Use Marvel super heroes to illustrate a topic at a corporate talk (about teamwork in this case) and get good reviews.”

Oops. For a second there I thought I' stumbled across an old, previously unknown Firesign Theater album.

You have a way with words, Chef.

At 92 I doubt she is on twitter, or any social media, so you would be better off looking for a mailing address or phone number if you want to get in touch with her.

I found info from googling around that she moved to Boise Idaho to live with her son, name of Colin Fitzsimons who has two children. Now, Colin Fitzsimons’ address is unlisted, but there are two Fitzsimons in Boise, so I would guess they are her grandchildren:

she may have altered a bit herself, but I doubt it, but she is older than me and may like younger men

You may be a pervert that needs to be kept away from elder-care facilities.

Well, I put a Kerbal into a stable orbit for the first time last night while playing “Kerbal Space Program”. So I guess I can check that one off the list.

Of course, I have no idea how to execute orbital maneuvers properly yet, so he is just going to have to float around up there until I figure that out :)

I remember coming across the movie “They Died with their Boots on” with Erol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland years ago. I was in love (with Olivia!).

It ran something like 3 hours on TV and I was up until 3am watching it. I mentioned it to my girlfriend (now wife) at the time describing it to her - but didn’t know the name of it - I had just come across it flipping the channels and stayed up all night watching it.

Oh - that’s TDWTBO - I have that!

I then asked about the actress. My wife said “Olivia de Havilland, in fact I just read where she is still alive - in France.”

She said my face lit up as I said “Wait - she’s still alive? Like I could go see her! Wow!!”

I might have to add that to my Bucket List.

Watching the movie again that is.
