- Boss, after I suggest something for the budget – Good idea, let’s draw that up there with the rest of the stuff.
- Boss, 20 minutes later when we’re talking about money – OK, let’s cross off the things we know are probably going to get nixed. First thing: this (as he draws a big black X over my idea).
- Not his fault, he’s just being honest. Sometimes being right doesn’t mean much.
- Someone I like and respect announced his resignation today. I’m going to miss working with him and swapping kid stories.
- I must be the only person I know who’s never watched the modern Dr. Who, Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, Spartacus, or a whole bunch of other non-kid TV shows.
- I only watched Firefly after some very good friends threatened to shun me if I didn’t.
- I tried to explain the plot of Kelly’s Heroes and the humor in it to someone who has never had anything to do with the American military and who comes from another country today. I was less than successful.
- I’m glad I re-read the project plan I was working on this afternoon. My first line amounted to “Hurt the feelings of X and Y and draw strength from their pain.”.
- Before you think I want to hurt someone’s feelings, let me just say that I’ve spent more than a year trying to get them to do what the project plan requires.
- If all the blooms on the cucumber vines come to fruition at the same time, I may set a personal best in quarts of pickles made in a 24 hour period.
- Our tomatoes, green beans, bell peppers, serrano, banana, Thai, and jalapeno peppers all have fruit growing on them.
- My cilantro is growing straight up and flowering. Not sure what I need to do about that.
- We need to tack up the new grape vines and blackberry plants. They’re starting to snake their way into places we don’t want.
- One of these days I’m going to have one of those weekends where there are no plans, no obligations, no chores, and no projects to work on.

Myth….They don’t exist.
You’ll never get one unless you run away from home.
