Yesterday’s notary bike ride was a complete success. The lady was tiny and ancient and totally ready to die in her cabin. Mildred was her name. Anyway I’ve added my  mobile notary service to my business webpage.

Nice ride into the Pecos Canyon. Talked to Huey for almost an hour and I plan to visit with him more often. The trip in was easier than the trip out. Later in the day the weekenders started flooding the canyon.

The following conversation occurred in England where William and Kate, (the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) were spending a weekend with the Earl of Grantham at his residence. The following is a conversation between The Earl (hereinafter shown as “EG”) and his Butler, Carson (hereinafter shown as “B”).

B. “May I ask you a question, My Lord?”

EG: “Go ahead, Carson,” said His Lordship

B: “I am doing the crossword in The Times and I have found the word aplomb, upon which I’m not too clear.”

EG: “Now that’s a difficult one to explain. I would say it is self assurance or complete composure…………perhaps I ​ can give you an example. Do you remember a few months ago when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge ​ arrived to spend a weekend?”

B: “I remember the occasion very well, My Lord. It gave the staff and myself much pleasure to look after them.”

EG: “Carson, do you remember when Will plucked a rose for Kate in the rose garden?”

B: “Yes, My Lord. I was present ministering to their needs.”

EG: “Do I recall correctly that while plucking the rose, a thorn embed itself very deeply into Will’s thumb?”

B: “I witnessed the incident, My Lord, and saw the Duchess herself remove the thorn and bandage his thumb with
her own dainty handkerchief.”

EG: “I also remember seem to recall that evening the hole that the rose made in Will’s thumb was very sore. In fact, ​ I believe Kate needed to cut up his venison, even though it was extraordinarily tender!”

B: “Your memory certainly serves you well, My Lord.”

EG: “The next morning while you were pouring coffee for Her Ladyship, Kate said in a strong, clear voice, ‘Darling,does your prick still throb?’ And you, Carson, did not spill one drop of coffee. That my friend, is APLOMB!”
