Rescue dogs

We've been looking at dogs that are available for adoption. It is hard on me to look into a dogs eyes that are full of hope that I would be the one to take him out of that cage. Some of them have figured out that good eye contact increases their odds of being picked. But what about the ones who won't look up, even when talked to ? They won't waste the energy on what they believe is a useless effort at attracting an owner. They've lost hope. That ain't right.

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.
