Monday's Missives

• A smokin' hot friendly aquaintance has recently gone from often being tired and slightly withdrawn to being bright and bubbly and acting a little more flirty with me. A day or two ago another friend said to her as I walked into the room, Don't worry. The next time he texts you- we will send him a picture of you and Kevin together and say, Don't worry. I think I will get along fine without you!  Yesterday she received flowers. I can be a little slow on the uptake but suddenly it all became perfectly clear- her husband has jumped the fence.
• The flowers looked like a funeral arrangement. That numbskull.
• It was raining this morning.
• It is a sad day when the American voter has the 2 options he or she has today. Really, that is all I have to say about the subject of Election 2016- Beyond The Octagon!
• There is a small bag of Everlasting Gobstoppers on my desk. Cool- I have never had those before.
• Even cooler- there are S'mores and banana split flavored Dum-Dums although my favorite Dum-Dums flavor as of this writing is cotton candy.
• The only question I asked when I first encountered sweet potato fries and then at some later time was offered sweet potato chips was, What took so long for you to come into my life!?
• I met another person who was an interpreter for several years with US Army units in Afghanistan. We laughed and told stories like it was old home week.

Thursday's Thoughts

Clark Gardens

• Spangler Candy make Dum Dums pops and offer individual flavors by the pound. A pound of cotton candy flavored Dum Dums might be too much awesome.
• The Columbia Bor Bora boonie and Sunday Afternoon Sun Tripper hat are working out great.
• Unsolicited relationship advice: If you're seeing a person and find out they have a ghost phone leave them with extreme prejudice. They are up to no good. To be more correct- even if they're being good then- they want to be up to no good whenever they want.
• The extra hours at work keep coming. I may die of tired.

  

  Yep, that is a mobility scooter parked in a car parking spot at a smoke shop. Why do you ask? Credit goes to my nursing buddy.

• The US Post Office is a literal joke.
• It may be trite and simplistic but there is some truth to the old saw: After seeing what the government has done with the Post Office, IRS etc. you want them involved in your healthcare?!
• My contact in the college broadcasting underworld has asked for my input on her upcoming interview with members of Fitz And The Tantrums.

  

  From a local church- very smart marketing.

  
  

  

  Found in the dumpster a few months ago. I don't know how many times I've used a nail, fastener or tool from it since- score!

  FG's big clock is big

• The snack food Combos is on the menu today for the first time in years and man they're good.  They stink so badly though it is odd I never noticed the smell before.
• In a meeting yesterday (06/03/2014) a person who has had to step up to a management role referred to herself as a, pitch hitter. 
• I hope my children remember steak night and brag about how good my steaks were and think of those times as a fond memory.
• Some day memories are all we'll have and in a blink of an eye after that, a memory is all we'll be.
• The other day FG kissed her dumb cat and then asked me, Do you ever kiss my cat while I'm away? If not you're missing some good loving. You should kiss my cat. I didn't even know where to start.
