I love Sundays! I get to go to church and worship God with lots of close friends and people I don't even know. I would love to sit next to God on a Sunday morning. We would start with listening to the first service of the day, starting in Hawaii and progressing around the world until we get to New Zealand 24 hours later and approach the international date line. I know some people who think the international date line is serious competition for E-Harmony. I'm a little upset about E-Harmony, but we won't go there. Really! It would be great to sit with God in Heaven on Sunday morning and hear all of the praises and singing in thousands and thousands of churches around the world. It would seem sad for it to end on Monday. In case you care to get into the difficult questions of theology, like where did the world begin? Here's the answer to that one. The world began at the international date line. It goes all the around and comes back to begin again. It's been doing that for thousands of years. That's why God made the world round. If it were linear, it would just get to the end and stop!.
While we're solving difficult problems, here's a two for one. Some towns seem to get flooded about every third year. Others are following the same pattern only with droughts. Why don't we build a pipeline connecting these cities. We could maintain the flow of rivers to keep hydro plants producing and even put turbines inside the pipes to produce electricity along the way. And keep rafters happy and provide plenty of drinking water for everybody. And keep those poor towns from flooding. I need a mirror to look at because I'm not sure if I'm kidding or not! I actually think this could work. Use disaster releif funds to cover construction. Let's get proactive.
Resturant Report: I sincerely hope there were no rats in the kitchen. We went to Chillis. We first ordered water w/lemon. This took a while to get. I guess bc of the lemons. Well, I was unusually hungry and we had to wait a longer while to order. But it wasn't so bad bc once while we were waiting the waitress stopped by to say, "Are you're still okay?" Oh yes, we have our water here and we're fine. The food was really good, when it came. Hey, why do we call her the waitress, when we are the ones waiting?
At wal mart, the check out girl, or should I say, transaction agent, was singing, badly. Then she refused to wait on me bc I didn't like her singing. I told her I never said that, but she claimed my body language said it all. I said that's why I've been getting dirty looks all over the store. There were some pretty weird people in there and I guess I told them exactly what I thought, with my body! Now I'm afraid to go anywhere. I'll have to practice my blank face. Or I could put on headphones and just act stupid and hope they think I'm responding to the music. Could I listen to the Carpenters and just pretend it's Jethro Tull? Oh, Aqualung!!
Well my mind is shutting down so it's time to close. Tomorrow is Monday and we're back to work. My future as a economist and world problem solver is in jeopardy as is my prospects as spelling champion. This thing doesn't seem to have spell check, although you should never completely rely on spellcheck anyway, at all. At the office, once an email went out to the entire center, advising that the supervisor line would be closed for the next 3 hours due to a meeting of supervisors. We apologize for the incontenance.
I'm ducking out the back way while you're still laughing:) bye bye

Rainey Saturday
Hi Y'all,
I feel your presence! Or was that just one too many deviled eggs. Even though it's raining, it's been a rather productive day. I got my shower and shave. Didn't even get to that yesterday. We went to Golden Coral for breakfast with my dad, Walter, my wife, Cheryl and son Aaron. There's a reason they call that place Golden Coral. Don't know about the Golden part, but a Coral is where you keep horses or cows. Now which animal do we resemble the most when we're eating at Golden Coral? It's not a bird or a squirrel! I ate like a cow, trying to swallow a horse.
Hey, how come when you want to wash dishes in the sink the drain lets all of the water go, but when you just try to rinse the dishes b4 loading them in the dishwasher, it always stops up. The main reason for this line is so you know that I wash dishes.
Okay, I don't know much about business, taxes, bailouts or economics, but here are my thoughts, from a layman's POV. That;s point of view, right. Sorry, I'm haven't gaged my readership on savvyiness yet. I think one is up to date, but the other may be in the cereal box stage, not that those aren't entertaining and informative. If you want to be an astronaut, you should start there. On the Automobile industry. When I was a kid, my biggest excitement next to Christmas, was to ride by the Chevrolet plant in September. Because that's when the new models came out. But at first, it was highly secretive. When you are talking about a hidden fact, is it spelled the same as when you have a leaking gland? Spell check does not advise. They would put up canvas all along the tall chain link fence so you couldn't see the new models. Now all you had to do was drive around the corner and you could see some of the new models the execs were driving. I liked cars so much that I used to sit at the top of the long steps high above the busy street, Capital Ave, where we lived, and count the cars going north and south, by color. That's how I became an expert on cars, or at least what they look like. A person like me knows that GM has a division for Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Cadilac, Saturn, GMC trucks and what else, Hummer. Now they got rid of Oldsmobile a few years ago. The GMC and Cherolet trucks are identical. I don't know what they call all of the models now, but back in the day they had a Chevy Nova, Buick Apollo, Olds Omega and a Pontiac Ventura and they were all the same car, just a little different bumpers and tail lights. Same with a lot of their other models. LET'S CUT OUT THE FAT. They need one truck division, which could also make all of the SUV's, one low/middle end car maker and one high end car maker. That's three divisions instead of seven. The leftover employees could work at Wal Mart bc they never have enough people to man the registers. The other plan I would implement is production of six wheel component cars. The cars would come apart for versatility. The basic car would be a two seater comuter. You could add on a back seat and a trunk, or a truck bed. You could save on gas and if you wrecked the front of the car, you wouldn't have to replace the whole thing.
Entertainemt section: Last night I fell asleep during something on tv. When I awoke, I was watching a movie about a rat who was a chef in an upscale resturant. I didn't care for it, but let it run it's course. I didn't like any of the characters to begin with, which is a must. If I can't put myself in the place of one of the characters, I don't enjoy it. I didn't want to be the rat, or the snobby resturant critic or the goofy waiter. Besides, I think it was all about diversity. Everyone was supposed to accept the rat as a food handler. The rat licked the spoons and ran around bare footed on the the plates, after living in the sewer. There you have it. I am neither perfect or with-it. I believe in the value of the individual. The individual gets credit or debit based on his own merit or lack of. He should not be pushed forward or held back bc of his origin. Samewise, the regular person should also have the right to stand on his own merit and be weighed against the merits of others, without the burden of having to overcome his majority race. WOW, I had some serious thoughts there! SOMEBODY SLAP ME! Now please don't slap me next time you see me. I'll be over it by then.
The little scroller system over there on the right keeps getting closer to the bottom, but I can't quite seem to get it all of the way down. Some day I will. One thing I'v learned. There is humor in everything. Unfortunately, I seem to find humor at some of the worst times. I just have to suppress it and save it for later. Bob (What About Bob?) said there are two kinds of people. Those who like Neil Diamond and those who don't. I disagree. Here's why.
1. I've noticed there are male and female.
2. some paint behind the toilet, some don't.
3. some like cheese on everything-some don't
4. some are peaceful-some are contrary
5. some are conservative-some have their head in the sand.
6. some who eat at Golden Coral and could hide behind a flagpole -others could not hide behind the whole flag
7. some have hair- others have halos
8, There are those who know God- and others who don't even know themselves.
I hope I see some of you in church tomorrow. If not, I hope someone sees you in church tomorrow.
I think nap time is calling. Be nice to sombody and have funny thoughts-they're free! :)

post Thanksgiving Day!
Hi everyone!
I had a great Thanksgiving Day! I hope y'all did too! I was 14 before I knew that y'all wasn't spelled y a w. Yesterday had all of the ingredients of a great Thanksgiving Day, loving family, great food, baby Raegan, new grandpuppy, beautiful weather and fun games. It was a great day! My wonderful wife, Cheryl made, or cooked the Turkey. Now, I'll spare you the usual Turkey jokes, but if we were having pork, nobody would put anything up it's kazooer. Who started that?? Cheryl had a wonderful idea. She decided to cook turkey breast instead of the whole turkey. I love it! You get the best part of the turkey and you don't have to deal with the carcass. It just looks like a dead animal left over in the fridge. One year we let our dog, Callie, outside and she came back with a carcass. She ran behind the couch with it b4 we could stop her. Yuck! Well. Cheryl cooked that bird breast and then asked me to carve it, Somehow I thought there would be two of them. Then I got concerned about the origins of this bird. It's the same as a regular turkey, but no wings, no legs, no thighs. This may have been a fedective bird, excuse me, defective bird! A paraplegic plumper. A bucolic butterball. We ate it and it was delicious, as was the stuffless ham that Jacob brought. The ham was headless. You know that's why I like to order steak at a restaurant. When you order it at the barber shop, they just look at you strange. I like to order steak bc you almost never get the head. With fish you can't be sure. Especially if they bring out the dish with one of those covers on it. It's like closed casket. Bytheway, you know caskets, some of them, have little drawers in them - with locks. Now who's gonna break in there? And what do you put in there? A candy bar? A book, in case you get bored? Next thing they add, will be optional cupholders. Also, there's no light.
We were watching The Newhart Show marathon last night. It's a funny show, but there was nothing else on. On Thanksgiving night, they were showing Godfather III, Rocky I and II, and a couple James Bond movies. Were those network nuts all on triptophan?! Dawgonit! What happeded to It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 42nd Street or The Bishops' wife? I've got 105 channels and none of them ever show Topper. I'd trade my 8 spanish chanels, 11 sports chanels, including golf and spanish horse hockey, 7 shoping chanels, 5 sleazy preacher chanels and all of the news chanels except Fox for one Turner Moovie Classics chanel. Anybody from Charter monitoring this site???.
I'm going to end this on a good note! I had a delicious ham sandwich and marvelous deviled eggs for supper last night and will likely do the same for breakfast.
I guess that's all.
Happy day after. Maybe I'll have a chocolate burito for desert!.

Salmon!
Hello you,
assuming there might be a "you" by now. I cooked salmon patties last night. For you northerners, that's pronounced sam'on. Rhymes with famine. Please learn to spell early on, 'cause it won't make any better sense later anyway. I only left out one thing, the bread. It was still pretty good. Nothing real interesting happened today so this could be short. Mind you when someone says "long story short", might as well get the coke and popcorn cause it's gonna be a long time till intermission..
You know it's time to lose weight when;
....you have to buy blue jeans an inch too long bc size 40 don't come that short.
....when your scrubs are tight..(stole that one)
...whn you buy an economy car (gas sipper) and have to run along outside.
...when your memory foam mattress forgets to decompress.
...when the automatic faucet on both sides of you come on in the restroom.
I'll let you off easy tonite. After all it's Thanksgiving and I've got lots of things to do. I haven't eaten yet. It does bother me when people say happy holiday. At work, we had a fall feast. Might as well call it Stuffagut Day. Valentines Day will always be Valentines Day and Labor Day will never change, but if it's a Christian holiday, let's just forget why we ever established it to begin with and call it something else. Next time somebody says happy holiday, I'm going to say "Nuts to you!"
Why don't you do the same? Good night.

Third Day
Howdy Neighbors!
Well thunder! I've been on the job three days, and already I'm printing retractions, just like the big boys! Yesterday, I advised you to google "It Ain't Necessarily So". Well, turned out to be bad advice. I bow my head and admit I did not check my source. I remembered the song, I thought, from one of my mothers old 78's when I was a small human. It actually came from "Porgy and Bess". If you're still bumfuzzeled, go ask your mother. Or google it. Bless you, all mothers. You have been replaced with something called google. Not Barney Google, just google. "Porgy and Bess" starred Sidney Pointer, a talented actor who also starred in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner". Sidney Pointer has a fine singing voice. I always wondered why he didn't sing with the Pointer Sisters. He could be the Pointer Sisters' Brother. Oh well, there's still time. If you actually pay attention to this stuff you will be able to amaze and stupefy your friends. Anyway, I googled it and found it was a comical song which listed some amazing bible scenes and went on to say "It Ain't Necessarily So". My apologies to the composer, Sam Gershwin, if you're living, and reading my blog, but if it's in the bible, it is absolutely so!
So there, in my second post I have inadvertently managed to step over racial and religious lines. I had not intended this, at least not so soon!
My sweetheart sent me some beautiful pictures in an email today. Oh, yesterday we talked, or I wrote about mashing things in the south. I was in Kohl's and the lady told me to mash credit on the little machine. Ha ha! That ha, ha means laughing, not like actually saying ha-ha. The pictures, I'm convinced are more beautiful than the actual places, although now I wish I could go to the actual places. In my convertible! When I got off work, I let the top down. I am a WILD and Crazy Guy. Do you know that the streets are 95% shaded between my office (cube) and my house? I keep forgetting that!
You want to do something nice for yourself? Watch the movie, "Harvey" with Jimmy Stewart. I don't mean sit down with Jimmy Stewart and watch the movie.. I mean he stars in the movie. Turn the lights off, get comfortable and really watch it. It's on my top 25 list of all time!
Now get some sleep!

Things that annoyed me today!
Hello friends,
I'm getting off to a wonderful start. Perhaps I should say something clever, provocative or funny to make you like me, but it's not here today. Instead you're getting my list of things that annoyed me today.
1. people who hit reply-all instead of reply. Actually that one didn't bother me. It was knid of funny! At work, an official group email was sent to probably 2 or 3000 employees to offer a chance at free Zoo Atl tickets. A bunch of people, not oui, hit reply-all. Down south I guess we mashed the reply-all button, creating thousands of needless emails. I find it needless to mash out unnecessary, when the word itself is unnessessary. Needless has 6 letters and unnessessary has 11. It takes up 50% more space, time and ink if you were printing it. I'm betting you're not though. When I run for office, that's only after I write my novel and can afford to quit work, I will abolish the word unnessessary, making it unlegal. Why do some words have an "il" and others have "un" in front of them in order to oppositize them? I'll work on that too. I might allow unesesary. And if you're singing the old, old song : It Ain't Necessessarily So", I guess it would be ok. If you don't know that one, you should google it for this week's music appreciation. Back to annoyance number one. Next thing that happened, a bunch of appalled more technically savvy employees, mashed reply-all to let all of the other hicks know that they should not have mashed reply-all. That's about 23,000 more emails in the system. By the way, if you don't know what to call something, just call it a system. I ate too many apples and now my system is messed up. Or the mechanic said my system needed cleaning. $400.
2. a phone call at 2 minutes from logging out (quittin) time from a customer who was appalled at having to spend 30 minutes with a supervisor and stil not getting his way. So he proceeded to spend 20 minutes with me and lost even more ground.
3. head cold
4. The only Andy Griffin episodes on tv were about Howard, Emmett and Sam. What happened to Barney, Otis and Floyd. Barney left the show around 1965 and I guess things just went down hill from there.
I guess that's not too much to be annoyed about. I hope your day was no more annoyed than that.
Y'all get a good nights sleep!

2. a phone call at 2 minutes from logging out (quittin) time from a customer who was appalled at having to spend 30 minutes with a supervisor and stil not getting his way. So he proceeded to spend 20 minutes with me and lost even more ground.
3. head cold
4. The only Andy Griffin episodes on tv were about Howard, Emmett and Sam. What happened to Barney, Otis and Floyd. Barney left the show around 1965 and I guess things just went down hill from there.
I guess that's not too much to be annoyed about. I hope your day was no more annoyed than that.
Y'all get a good nights sleep!

First Blog
Dear Readers
Hi, This is my first blog. I suspect (hope) no one will read it, since it is about nothing. I just want too see what it looks like. I don't feel particularly inspired to write anything important or entertaining at the moment. I hope to do so someday.
I have read many things that brought me no entertainment, enlightenment or revelation. That seems both redundant and repetitive to me. I figured, there might be room for one more. I hope not to add to the list. I assure you that most of my writing will be a compilation, however twisted a compilation, of things I have seen, read, heard and experienced. How dull! Now and then I do have an original idea and will try to capture it.
If you stumble upon this, my dear readers, I apologize. It's just practice, like when a medical student works on a cadaver. It was doomed from the start.
Oh, just call me Eyore!
