Got my first
shakedown today. Pretty much exactly
like you see on TV. All your stuff
strewn about then left for you to re-fold & re-organize everything. Fun
Times!
I got a
letter from Cameron today. I was still
on the first page when I accidentally snort-laughed my cellie awake. Thank you.
I needed a laugh worse than he needed a nap.
A new
record. I put 8 letters in the mail
today. The chosen ones? Not really.
LOL. Some that deserved a reply already
& I had been doing more blog-rambling & less letter writing. It comes
in spurts.
Just a
reminder. I am not actually typing my
blog. I am writing it out and mailing it
to my secretaries (ha-ha) & they are kind enough to put it on the World
Wide Web. Thank you Momma & Roy
btw. Any ways, I say all that to say
that I can’t see your comments. It’s
quiet alright to comment. (I do plan on reading back thru all of this once I
complete this journey.) Just don’t say
anything I wouldn’t say (or don’t say anything you don’t want my momma to
read.)

It’s hard to
imagine a 4th without thinking of Menx. We always sang, “God Bless the USA” Lee
Greenwood style. We enjoyed a few golf
outings & even a few hot bbq s. But
one 4th I’ll never forget is the time we had a bottle rocket
war. There were several of us “boys
being boys“ that night firing bottle rockets at each other while the women folk
were inside talking or knitting or whatever women folk do while boys are being
boys. Anyways, Menx & Jen hadn’t
been in their new home very long at all.
I believe it was the second bottle rocket making its way thru the front
door and exploding on the living room carpet that caused the “boys” to ultimately lose the war. It’s funny to think back on, but things were
pretty serious for a minute. Happy 4th, Menx!!

Not sure
why, but today is one of those days that if I had it, I think I could chew an
entire pouch of Redman Golden Blend.
Tastes just like it sounds, delicious!!
I think it’s
pretty sad that Romney is the best candidate the Republican Party can come up
with. It’s equally sad that Obama is his
only real competition. I think I am
officially neither a republican nor a democrat, and I think I’m proud to feel
that way. Politics are ruining this once
great nation.
Let me
guess, it’s been too hot for Riviera to golf. LOL. I know it’s been hot,
extremely hot. But I sure wish I was out
there sweating and burning. One day.
There’s been
an unusual number of pizza commercials cross my path today. Pizza Hut, it would have to be a Super Supreme
pan. Papa John’s, I’ll take an original
crust with pepperoni, mushrooms & sausage with anchovies on the side. And Little Caesar’s, whatever Grover gets is
always fine.
I have
always been adamantly against barbeque sauce on hamburgers. Although this isn’t something that I will
have to deal with any time in the near future, it’s still something I feel very
strongly about. And it’s not something I
will consider changing my stance on.

Not sure
what made me remember this, but if you haven’t watched the documentary “Food,
Inc.” you should really set aside some time to do so. I think everybody needs to be aware of how
“food” is controlled. Very interesting.
As far as
Daytona, FL goes, I believe Kathleen and I should consider ourselves to be
“twice shy.” Scarred for life.

And speaking
of anchovies, I would wager that with the exception of possibly Mark, I am the
only one in my immediate family who has even tried them, let alone like them.
The 20/20
special on Heaven last night was interesting.
Did anybody else watch it? I’m
sure you can see it online if you missed it.
Who knew the Dali Lama had such a sense of humor? What I took away from it was the “Muslim=terrorist”
thinking that afflicts a lot of people these days. I think that would be similar to saying Pentecostals
& Methodists are the same because they’re both Christian. Just a thought, I’m done now.
I’ve always
wanted a big dog. But it would need to be a lazy lap dog too. A mastiff falls into that category I think. If they make a big dog that doesn’t have a lot
of energy, doesn’t shed a lot, has a big heart, and is capable of chilling out
while I’m working, that’s the kind of dog I want. But it will also be coming from a
shelter. A rescue dog is the best.
Is it just
me or does it seem like even Modupe Idowu herself, WBBJ news anchorwoman, has
trouble pronouncing her name? Strange.
