Greetings to all readers!

For too long I have left this blog unattended.  My mom has dementia now and is living in an assisted care home.  We will NEVER have that mom-daughter talk about her harmful gossip.  So just best to forgive and to move on.  This is the LAST entry from me on this blog.  It will be deleted on December 10 (2015) - my birthday.

Aloha,

Deb

No more posting of the plight of Sir Sandman

Well, all good things must come to an end.  The future misadventures of Sir Sandman are anyone's guess.  Life is fickled and full of land mines. 

But look up where the sky is blue and the sun is bright.  At night the full moon will light your way.  Life is but a dream - some nightmarish & some delightful. 

Later, gator...

The Teacher

Episode 8.5

My oh my...

All is quiet in the various hamlets and villages of the Land of Pause.  But it is too quiet.  It is the stillness before the storm.  What are the evil ones planning now?  What misdeeds do they have scheduled for Sir Sandman?  Are they too busy with other matters?

For example, there are chiefs to replace and other lives to ruin.  There is new construction to screw up and villagers to make unhappy.  No rest for the very wicked women in the kingdom like Queen Kelley and Tommie the Jerk.  There will be new faces to replace the wise ones who have left Pause.  The young, bright scholars and tradesmen are happy to find careers elsewhere.  The once mighty Land of Pause is but a joke - a mere shadow of its former glory.  It was once a lighthouse, but is now an outhouse.  There should be a revolving door on the headquarters of Pause.  No one stays too long.

What will become of Pause?

Breaking News...

Wicked old Chief Dill of the Village of Ally has resigned.  Hurrah!!!  This self-serving witch ruined the life of Sir Sandman's cousin, Willie.  She was just too full of herself.  The title went to her head.  Dill took credit for the championship archery contest.  She told the team that they were playing for her.  Their mistakes reflected badly on her.  She was too young and too much ego for such a powerful position.  She blew it.  The subjects of Ally forced Dill to retire her position.  Now if a similar fate could befall Chief Running Wolfe?????

But the grapevine says that Running Wolfe with be the new chief of Ally and Tommie the Jerk will be the new chief of the Village of Gun.  So a "jerk" becomes a chief?  The standards in the kingdom have certainly gone down.  The callous disgard for skills and talents is sickening.  The weak, brown nosers are raising to the TOP of the heap - heap of cow dung.  Jerks become princesses.  Princesses fall under the weight of their flaws.  Pity the commoners?  Pity the young folk in these villages.

Pity the victims of wicked ambitions who have been run over by the brown nosers.  Pity, pity, pity...

Episode Eight

Higher earthly power?

The noble Sir Sandman has sought the assistance of the Federal Office of the Villages.  This agency has power to help people like Sandman who have been wronged unjustly and with bias. Their investigations have topled kingdoms (and lowered real estate values).

What will Lady Scot Tissue do next?  To continue her foolish assault on the innocent knight would appear to be retaliation.  This is a no win - no win situation for Tissue, the Queen, and Tommie.  If they continue on the road to nowhere, they will look like bigger fools than they are.  But they are fools.

They backed the wrong horse in this race.  Catering to the neurotic whims of the parents and their spoiled offspring has gone too far.  They need to grow backbones and stand up for what is right not what is the easy way.

What happens next in this drama?

Episode 7 - the mother of all jerks

Yes, Sir Sandman has found another champion.  A champion that is beyond the reach of the Board of Knights.  This organization has found evils within the collective villages of Silly Alto.  Yes, three claims of insensitive treatment of the "lesser" children (persecuted by bullies) has been investigated by this powerful group.  These bullies have been allowed to terrorize their unfortunate peers without restrain from the the local Village elders.  The elders turned a blind eye on the sufferings and misery of these poor children.  They were too afraid that they might upset the parental units of the tormentors.

But who created these bullies?  Bullies are not born.  They are created by their environment such as their parents, the media.  The bully like behavior of their parents imprints this behavior on their offspring. The powers that be in Silly Alto do little to nothing to curb this barbaric behavior.  The authorities of Silly Alto fear the wrath of the bigger bullies - the parental units. The deep pockets of these residents strike fear into the hearts of of all who rule in Silly Alto.  Deep pockets filled with gold and ruthlessness.

Who or what is this new champion that can right the wrongs of the helpless and Sir Sandman?  Are they or it more powerful than the deep pockets or the Board of Knights?  Can they or it restrain the evil of Tommie, Queen Kelley, or Lady Scot Tissue?  Will it or they awaken the conscience of the Village Chief Running Wolf?

Episode 6

Sir Sandman grew tired of the unwarranted attacks from the mother of all jerks, Tommie.  Queen Kelley has delegated the dirty deed to her right hand gal, Lady Scot Tissue.  Lady Tissue loves to dish the dirt.  She is not the smartest tool in the shed, but that doesn't seem to matter.  Tissue follows orders and doesn't ask questions.  She has been responsible for many an unfair deals with some other knights and common folk as well.  Lady Tissue has no conscience and sleeps well at night.  But has she met her match in Sir Sandman, the noble and honest knight?

Will good finally triumph over evil?  Maybe.  All is takes is good men to do nothing for evil to win.  But, behold, one of the realistic 10%ers has come forth to speak well of Sir Sandman.  This young woman, Sarah, has the power of truth in her message to Tommie and the others.  She speaks truth to power.  The message is clear - Sir Sandman is a good man and mentor.  He has strong convictions and speaks in a no nonsense manner.  Sarah knows that Sandman's words offend some of the other village young folk, but she is grateful for them.  The lessons to be learned will help them to be successful in life -within or outside the Village of Gun.  The others are blinded by their panic and shallowness.  But Sarah ha a clear vision of things to come and the goodness of the noble knight.

Will Sarah's words fall on deaf ears?  Will Lady Tissue and Queen Kelley understand and act upon her advice to back off Sir Sandman?  Will their unjust persecution of the knight continue?  Will they come to their senses and stop this madness?

Or...will the noble knight need to find yet another champion to take on his cause?
