Papa's Got A Brand New Bag

Or at least a new cover picture, hope you like it. I don't know why Jackson is grinning so much in that picture; probably best that I did not know then, and not know now. I have a feeling it might have to do with an un-flushed toilet
No funny pictures this week, sorry, no girls jumping on trampolines or things that make noise
No comments from the peanut gallery about the cannon fire? Surprising.............
I forgot some birthdays last week: Nephew Kevin turned the ripe old age of 32, and Dink turned an approximate age of 89, we are not really sure. Happy birthday to both. We took Dink to Wilson for BBQ, to the cemetery to see Daddy, then by Crews Shearin's on our way to see Lottie High in Nashville. All visits went very well; Mrs. High was in good shape and really enjoyed our visit...........everyone did, great day.
Played golf with our oldest son Nicu Sunday (oldest son? whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?) He gave me three strokes on the front nine and then shot a 32 on the front. At the turn he went into the bathroom and worked on his alignment looking in the mirror; I don't think he ever saw me creeping up on him with the one iron. Good time and a nice weekend.
My thoughts to ponder for the next week have to do with movies:

  • why is it that the monster, be it the mummy, Frankenstein, you name it, kills the person who saves or resuscitates him? OK, that's the first person he sees, but you would think that as the mad scientist rebuilds this creature he would put something in his brain that reminds the monster not to kill him. Maybe like a picture with a post-it note "do not kill this guy"
  • Ever been to the grocery store? OK, that weeded a few out.....ever been to the grocery store and bought bread? OK, a few more are gone now. Ever been to the grocery store and bought French or Italian bread? You know, the type that looks like a long cylindrical roll? Was it wrapped in plastic or paper or did the grocer just throw it in your shopping bag unwrapped, and it was hanging out the top? Hang on, there's a point to this, I'm just trying to remember it......Got it, here's why I'm asking: Because in every movie or television show, well there it is.......out there just begging to get germs alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllover it. Why is that? Where do these people shop that they don't wrap bread?


I'll let you worry about that while I'm off to the land of Cleve early Monday, be back home Thursday

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
