32 – Have Something Removed

I’ve only been in the hospital once when I was born, one time for an operation, and for a number of visits to others who were hospitalized over the years. I must say, I’ve got only the highest regard for doctors and nurses. I could have been a doctor were it not for the hard work and above average intelligence requirement. I foolishly thought that being foolish wasn’t foolish.

Please post a comment. I have it on very good authority that doing so will bring you unimaginable wealth. And if it doesn’t, write me a comment and I’ll have some serious words with that good authority. Also, if you link to this blog or tell all of your friends (alphabetically, if possible), then unimaginable wealth will come to me. That ain’t bad. [Yes, I know all about “ain;t.” In fact, my computer Dictionary and Thesaurus tells me that “ain’t” is “a shibboleth of poor usage.” Later, when I’ve got the time, I intend to look up “shibboleth.”]

31 – Object Lessons

As we grow up we learn certain things. Look left. Look right, then look left again. When things go wrong, as things are want to do, we say “I went to the school of ‘Hard Knocks.'” Wouldn’t it be nice if we had someone to tell us “Oh no, thats a poor choice, don’t do it.” Oh wait. I guess we do have watchers. They are called parents. I’ll bet if we had actually listened to them, “Things” would go less wrong.
Thanks again for staying with this. I like it when you view these posts. Keep it up. This is your parent talking to you.

28 – Sans Bugs

My first experience eating snails was a real triumph of  peer pressure over good sense. Who in their right mind would ever put one of those things in their mouth and then deliberately munch down on it? Answer: me. Actually, the key to it all is to drown it in garlic butter and add in so many croutons that the tasty treat inside is never really noticed. Bugs, on the other hand….

You have been with this blog for a good long time now and you keep returning. Great. Glad to have you. Please note, however, these things may get better. I feel I’ve reached a certain level of quality. Now I intend to continue my quest for SUPER mediocrity. Remember to link to this blog, make comments on it, and eat your veggies.

26 – Urgent Recall

Children often fantasize about being super (man or woman) or having x-ray vision (me, me) or whatever. As adults we realize such things are nothing more than illusion. They are young. What do they know? As adults, we know that winning the lotto is the real reality.

There must be a reason you arrived at this blog. An accident? You did it on purpose? Either way, I’m glad. Come often. I try to post one or two every day. Comments are invited. Indeed, comments are wanted!

24 – Power Shave

We can assume that “Power” in this instance does not have the same sense as “The Great And Wonderful Oz.” It’s a different kind of power. Perhaps intimidation. You know, more expensive is always better. Boys must have their toys because they experience torment inflicted on them when they don’t get the toy they want… I mean, need. I don’t experience the torment since poverty inoculates one from it.

I don’t feel power when I say thank you for viewing these. I feel pleased that anyone would take time out of their lives to check in, even if it might be to see if things have improved. Please comment.
