No. I don't look at the news every day.

My wife does, it usually starts around 3 to 4 AM. I get to hear about it on waking.

Kinda bummed. The young lady who has been coming to the house for the last year or so to clip puppy nails is moving away. She was so good with the dogs and they really liked her. She was also very pleasant and I enjoyed the short time she was here every month. She is moving back to the east Tennessee/west NC area where she grew up.

Funny thing is that I asked her last month if she thought she would ever move back there as she always spoke so lovingly about the area and her family there. At that time, she said she liked her job here...but the rent went up substantially where she and her family live so they have decided to move where it's less expensive.

I will miss her.

When the countdown reaches zero, are you going to perform a little jig?

If my counterpart at work wasn't on his way to Mexico for a vacation, I would have taken the day off and had a stash of confetti at the ready.   Panic

I’m reminded of that fruit that Orang Utans eat that is apparently delicious but smells of rotting flesh. I think it begins with D.

Durian. Richard Sterling once described the odour as a combination of pig shit, turpentine, and rotten onions, garnished with a used gym sock.

A single moment of inner harmony before death does not erase a lifetime of inner discourse.
