Thoughts on the Day

  • You know, it may seem strange when our dinner-table conversation consisted of a discussion on the differences between Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukoshima, the history of the Manhattan Project, and the difference between an implosion and a gun-type nuclear weapon, but in this house, it’s not.
  • I started this morning out not working this weekend, then I was, then I might not be, then I might be, then I learned that I will get the weekend off.
    • That condition is subject to change at any moment, up to and including sometime during the weekend.
    • Project planning status Gumby achieved – Flexible, but not limp.
  • There are few things I like to eat more than a buttermilk biscuit with Irish Woman’s strawberry margarita jam.
    • That reminds me.  I need to buy more Cointreau.
  • Whoever signed Boo up to get the “Young Explorers” catalog, I will find you, and I will cut you.
    • It should have been titled “The Catalog of Annoying Toys That No Parent In Their Right Mind Would Buy”.
  • Note to self – The object of the exercise was to blanch and peel the skin from the peaches, not to peel and core my left middle finger.
    • Of course I sharpened the knife before I started.  That’s why I didn’t feel it until I had pretty much encircled my finger with a line of red.
    • I never claimed to be a smart man.
