Never Too Old

Today as I was driving out and about, I pulled up next to an old lady in a shiny Mercedes who I noticed was dancing - bopping her head and drumming/tapping her fingers on her steering wheel. I thought maybe she had parkinsons, but no, there was definitely a beat. I was shocked that someone so old would be rocking out in their car. I quickly turned off my radio (Enrique Iglesias) and rolled down my window to try to hear what she was listening to. Sadly, the light turned green and she sped off. The world may never know what she was listening to. You are probably guessing Frank Sinatra or Michael Buble, but you didn't see her purple haired head bouncing about. I am guessing it was Nine Inch Nails.

Since When?

I just opened a chocolate covered fortune cookie. I was shocked to see that one side of my fortune was written in English and the other side was written in...Spanish!? Since when did Hispanics become one of the top 2 fortune cookie consumers?

Now that's Punny!

My friends Susan and Paul love puns. The two of them can exchange puns back and forth like they are playing ping-pong. This one is for you guys:

When I was at home over Christmas break I was telling the folks about my trip to Europe and a picture of the Roman Colosseum came on the television.
My dad said, "Have you been there?"
I said, "No. I didn't make it to Rome."
He answered, "Yes you have." (My parents had gone to Rome when my Mom was pregnant with me.)
I said, "Yeah, but I had a womb without a view."

Pa-dum-ching!

Goals...not the soccer kind

Ah. The new year. We all know that this time of year comes with new goals and resolutions. Along with the universal resolve to exercise, a lot of talk has been going around about developing new talents or even rekindling old talents.

Maybe I should pick up an Etch-a-sketch again.

Over Christmas break I found this in a box. It has been shaken a bit, but you can faintly see the outline of a groovy man (in bell-bottom pants and curly hair - hence the groovy) standing next to a leafy tree with a bench near and a partially cloudy/sunny sky. I probably etched this one 9 or 10 years ago.
The next picture is from 6 or 7 years ago when I etched a portrait for a service auction. My only problem is, what the heck good is a crumby talent like this? Perhaps God used it to draw the construction of the earth.
