Retrospective
Tonight my wife said to me in what I think could have been a friendly tone:
“You are a Loon”
What?
NO!
It took me years to get used to the “Damn Jerk” thing.
Now this change. I dont do well with change.

Tonight my wife said to me in what I think could have been a friendly tone:
“You are a Loon”
What?
NO!
It took me years to get used to the “Damn Jerk” thing.
Now this change. I dont do well with change.
Whew
Confused
I read for a few minutes in The Onion, a humor site presenting humor in a deadpan apparently straight forward news formant and then moved to The Drudge Report and for a few seconds sat totally confused. I actually checked to see if I had somehow gotten back on to the humor site. There was an article on Cheney and a nude statue of Brittany Spears and I was sure I had not gotten out of the fake news area. The article titled Republicans On The Run said, after extolling Cheney as “one of the most effective Vice Presidents in the history of the U.S.,
” Keller launched into all the times he had recently opposed the Bush Administration, including the deal to allow a Dubai company to manage operations at several U.S. ports. And then Keller went right for the punch line: “‘Don’t be too hasty,’” he claimed the Vice President had pleaded with him. “‘Let’s go hunting. We’ll talk about it.’”
Then there was the title Global Warming Heats Up . That was near the headline NUDE BRITNEY SPEARS GIVING BIRTH; STATUE MAKES ‘PRO LIFE STATEMENT’?… which was illustrated by a statue apparently doing just that. In between was an ad showing someone sticking out his tongue and with his thumbs in his ears saying “I just saved a fortune on my life insurance did you? Near that was two heading for two different stories, and I quote:
NY POST: RIVAL SAYS HILLARY CLINTON SPYING ON HER…
McFarland: Clinton spying on me? It was just a joke!
Spare me! The Onion site seemed more reasonable and not quite as funny. I’m slowing down too much to have to deal with this, especially since I got on the Onion site inadvertantly and took seriously articles entitled
Chicken feeling better
Who would leave a perfectly good fabric softner in my mail box
Terrorism not likely cause of fire in laundrymat
Bloodless coup a real letdown
The line has gotten too thin or I have gotten too dim.
Later and extended entry
Oh, I just ran across a headline in MSN. I’m starting to love those headlines. This one said :Shop women’s watches. I immedieately thought , ” of course they do . Otherwise people would steal things”. See how that fits the first entry?
In which I do amuse me.
Just ran across a note from 9 June, 1985 that still makes me laugh.
Quote: “this morning, standing in front of the window I turned hugged Sandy and gave her a big kiss. She pushed away and said “I bet that guy across the street likes this”. You can imagine the thoughts that went through my mind. Well you can talk about compassion or empathy or what ever but I still say let him find his own. “ [I’m not going to kiss him]
another note on the same piece of paper.
Met …. Ritchie at ball game yesterday. We shook hands and I said “good to see you out”. [Which was funny cause I am the one who is never there and is nothing and he is out to everything and indeed pretty well runs it] He riposted with “And what was the name?” “Ritchie”, I said, “Ritchie”. “Keep repeating it.”
Some times I knock me out.
