Thoughts on the Day

  • I think Crash wants to be a cowboy when he grows up.  At least, I hope that’s the reason he just rode Moonshine through the living room bareback.
    • Moonie is fine.  His tail was wagging the entire time.
    • If a cat could roll her eyes, Koshka would have done so at that exact moment.
  • It’s not often that I use the term “crack house” to describe the work of another human being, but today was one of those occasions.
    • “Crack House” is one notch worse than “Ghetto”, because you can still be somewhat proud of “Ghetto” if that’s the best you can do.  There’s no pride found in “Crack House”.
  • Irish Woman and I went to a fund raising breakfast for Boo’s school this morning.  I may be a soft touch, but mothers getting up and crying about how much the school has done for their kids was the perfect thing to get me to take out the checkbook.
    • It doesn’t help that Irish Woman is a sympathetic boo-hooer.
  • Asking my Russian waitress for more coffee in Russian this morning turned me into her favorite customer.
    • It’s a good thing the coffee was delicious, because I ended up drinking four cups in an hour.

    Careful about talking nice to Russian waitresses in front of the Irish Woman- a little smile on their part can make even the most level headed bride turn green…
    My ex taught me some Russian phrases, and I ordered dinner from one at a nice restaurant in Yellowstone NP.
    Did I mention she’s my ex?

    Heh. If you go into a nice hole in the wall Thai joint where the menu offers “hot and sour soup” and ask for Tom Yum Gai, you have the danger of getting a bowl so big, and so native hot when you asked for medium, that there’s no way to finish it. I feel your bladder’s pain, man.
