Something I learned today

A sign on the freeway that says "Limited sight distance" actually should say "Cop with a radar gun waiting just over the hill."

Fashion

Girls, please make sure you purse matches your shoes. Guys, try to at least match your shoes with your belt. If that doesn't work...at least make sure your shoes match your dogs.

When sunny morings turn into rainy afternoons

I saw the clouds roll in and somehow knew what I'd come home to find...

The torture must stop

Work, eat, sleep and repeat

Sorry it's been quite on this end. I really don't have anything new to report...same old, same old! Well, I guess that isn't entirely true. I had a great moment of clarity on Saturday afternoon and made a very important decision to walk down a new and uncharted path. It's pretty exciting really.

Things I've learned from my dogs

1. You don't always have to accomplish tasks in a conventional manner. Getting the job done is what is important.
2. It is perfectly acceptable to come right out and tell someone that you are fond of them.
3. Naps are good things and should be taken advantage of whenever possible.
4. Lots of things happen during the course of a normal day. Come 5:00, be ready to put it all down and enjoy what life has to offer.
5. When all else fails, smile. Its so much easier to be happy.
6. Squirrels must die. Don't really know why that made the list, but apparently this is something very important to them.
7. Be patient with others (squirrels excluded.)
8. Take time to soak up your surroundings. Enjoy the day. We only get one shot at life.
9. If the sun is out, the best place to be is outside.
   
10. Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is to just be there.
11. Life is not complicated if you have your priorities straight.
    
12. Its better to give than to retrieve.
    
13. When you screw up, own up to it immediately while trying to look as guilty and as sorry as possible.
14. Regular exercise is for the birds. Regular playing is where it's at.
15. Finally, never forget who you are and what you are all about.
    

Tonight's date plans

We'll start of with a lot of heavy petting and just get that part out of the way early. Then, we will dine together at home. After our dinner settles, a long walk through the park, washed in the glow of a romantic moon. Then, it's back to the house for some snuggling on the couch. More heavy petting. When the time is right, I'll suggest that we take the party in the bedroom and drift off to dream together. I wonder if I'll get lucky...by not waking up with Tess' butt in my face?

The Oprah Store?

I just looked at Drudge and apparently O has a store now.

Store = yes. Shame = no.

Hmmm

Something very interesting happened yesterday. All I'm at liberty to reveal at this point is that it involved a Golden named Duke.

The redder the better

This morning I got to work and checked my email and found a survey I've been waiting for in my inbox. Surveys are usually very boring, but this one was like no other I've every seen. It actually made me laugh. Great way to start the morning!

Can you just picture a survey crew out detailing and documenting the presence of junk cars on our project's property. I mean, who do they pay to track down the make, model and year of a junk car? They even made the effort to document the fact that there is a mean dog in the area. I'll close with some words of wisdom from David Allen Coe..."If that aint Country, I'll kiss your ass."

Note to self...propose 8' privacy fence!
