Pop tarts...

...come with cooking directions which is one minute in a vertical toaster. As an alternative, it says on the box you can stick one in a microwave for 3 seconds. If a person cannot spare ONE minute in his morning to brown a poptart, he might want to think about loosening up his schedule. Just sayin'.

Sunglasses indoors

I don't understand sunglasses indoors. Professional entertainers love 'em. Cool athletes love 'em. I've heard Bill Cosby has a sensitivity to light and I totally get that. Absent an eye problem, sunglasses indoors seem pretentious to me. If that is the ultimate goal, we need to aim higher.

I saw something in my peripheral vision.

I didn't know what it was for sure, but I knew it couldn't live here rent-free. A quick trip to Walmart and my little surprise party was set. The score....

New music....wow.

Our I.T. Dept has hit us another home run. The words are scrolling at the bottom of the page. Michael Buble' and David Foster are putting out some really good music these days. If Michael ever comes to Memphis, we're there. Anybody who doesn't caravan over there with us isn't cool.

Fess Parker just passed away.

At 6'6", Fess Parker was awesome as Davey Crockett and Daniel Boone in movies and TV. He was exactly what all of us little boys wanted to be when we grew up. No one loved him more than my best friend, who passed away on a Mothers Day...years ago. Call me crazy, but I see my friend making a fuss over actually meeting Fess Parker this week. He was like that.

Our new philosophy...

...which is " Give No Unsolicited Advice" is working so well that I'm thinking of upgrading to " Don't Tell Nobody Nothing". It's bad grammer but a good rule. Our kids even seem to like us better.

Sen. Harry Reid (D) Nev

Sen. Reid says high unemployment makes domestic abuse worse, due to added stress in the household. Is he saying that giving a man money and/or a job will make him be a better person ? Let's hold that up to the light and turn it around. It seems to me the reverse may be true... that men prone to violence, domestic or not, experience unemployment in their lifetime many times the rate of men not prone to violence.
