The signs on the house say: I Did It My Way and above the door: Believe, Dream, Wish.
Also, note the two big brown bears. Goldylocks must be inside with the other one.
There is a
log cabin that was recently built on Saugatucket Road. It replaced a little
green Quonset Hut. Every time I drive by it makes me smile and laugh because
there are two life size grizzly bears (not real) on the front porch, abutting
the front door and there are big signs on the front of the house. “I Did It My
Way” – you certainly did. And “Dream, Believe, Receive” – I’m not sure about
this last one but when I go by to get the photo, I will let you know what it
says for sure. It’s not as big as the “I Did
It My Way” and not easily read while driving by. I promise to get you that photo. Think of it
this way – it will be something to look forward to. I have the camera in the
car and my new iPhone too. That photo will be sure bet and a thing of beauty.

At church
they often (each week) refer to the “golden rod sheet” of announcements located
in the pew. I find this frickin’ hilarious and even Matt, 14, said the other
day “Why don’t they just say yellow?” My response: “Exactly!”

“If I win
the lottery, I won’t go to work on Monday,” I said to Daniel. “But you’ll work
again,” he responded. “No, why would I work if I have all the money I need?” I said.
“To get more money. It’s kind of obvious,” he said.

“Why are
there so many Americans on the edge of the fiscal cliff?” asked Daniel while
looking inauguration photos on the front page of the paper.

something in the paper about brushing teeth in the shower to save time . . .
please tell me that society is not in that much of a rush. But lately I have
been rushed in the parking lot where I work. I have pulled into my parking
spot, opened my door, and there are people waiting to pull into the spot right
next to me – and my door is impinging their parking. I hate this. Calm the fuck
down. There is a whole parking lot out there.

Seen in the
Post Office: Cell phone use in the lobby is prohibited. There are 20 minute
plus lines in the P.O. and you can’t use your cell phone. Perhaps it interferes
with the pilot’s controls.

I saved the
day at Sunday School recently with my new iPhone. The question was how do we
determine when Easter is. It’s based on the lunar calendar and I will surely
have to look it up again to remember the specifics.

A little
girl was being a bit of a pain in the ass/brat in the line at Stop & Shop. Her mother theorized that she’d
had too much candy on account that it was Valentine’s Day. The girl noticed the
Sports Illustrated swim suit issue and wanted to get it. The mother’s response,
“Why would I pay to look at those, when I can look at my own for free?”

Daniel had a
trick up his sleeve in church the other day. I went up front to give the
children’s sermon and when I came back to the pew there were his pants. He was
long gone to Sunday School in shorts.

Blinds and

- In reference to my song Living In Paradise – Don’t wanna go to Mexico, na na na Bahama, ah ah ah (this is the sound you make when you tell a dog no in monosyllables – not sure how to spell it) Jamaica, there’s only one Bermuda – Daniel said as we were listening to it “Hey you are describing Bermuda.” And then he thought a minute and said “Bahamas wouldn’t be bad.” And then later, “But you did mention some nice places.” After this winter, take me anywhere ..........................
