It's all downhill from here...

It is said that every dog has its day. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That you have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. An apple a day. Dip it don't soak it. You're eyes will get stuck like that. Two men enter one man leaves. Would you like that super sized. Live in the moment. The journey is the reward (and they are touring again). Good men are hard to find. A bird in hand. Every rose has its thorn. Hold your horses. Take it down a notch. Pin your ears back. You can’t take it with you. Don’t pick at it. Pick your battles. Pick your poison. An ounce of prevention. This goes to eleven. Open the pod bay doors. I’ll be back. Phone home. Show me the money. Plastics. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. You can’t handle the truth. There’s no place like home. Stupid is as stupid does. Don’t stop believing. Don’t tug on Superman’s cape. Two out of three ain’t bad.

Finally a broken clock is right twice a day and stop - Hammertime.

It is with tremendous pride and too much time on my hands I announce I have peaked and it is all downhill from here. That’s right, I am a published author. My work is brief but noteworthy. In its entirety:

“Thanks for your definition of Prings!

Prings

Professionals that are frictionally unemployed at all the local coffee shops updating their social media, twitter, MyFace, LinkedIn and other profiles in order to look busy and not go insane.

The line of Prings was out the door.”

I can die now.

Secret Mission Briefing and Agents Never Run Day Two

The next secret mission was well set up as I will give myself a pat on the back on this one. I found out Agents Mongoose and Linoleum were scheduled to visit the bay area (from Papa Agent) and that Papa Agent had not told them yet. So he and I planned to set up this visit as a secret mission. Oh yeah. BTW this was a four day mission so this post will cover the mission assignment thru day one. Mission letters went out to the agents a few weeks prior to the (already) scheduled departure. The Supreme Commander said there is a covert ops mission in San Jose Ca they have to execute as the Group of Trouble In Theory (GOT IT) were panning on hacking into the Washington State Island County Treasurer’s computer system and raising property taxes as part of a larger scheme to drive retirees and fixed income families out so they can put up casinos. Nice set up –eh? The mission instructions told them to talk to Papa Agent and Mama Agent (known as Field Lieutenant of Personnel Omega – FLOPO an

Squirrel Drama email

Published with all of its original haste and mistakes and it is true. Some background: bombing is when our dog repeatedly dives into our neighbors pool to get his training dummy a large cylindrical tennis ball-like object. My dog is named Elvis and I am not a big Elvis fan: Subject: Squirrel Drama So.... On Saturday afternoon I took Elvis over for some bombing. The usual, he goes in, comes out and repeat. On one of the tosses I notice movement below the fig tree by the SE comer of the deck. And not like the wind is blowing, the tree and surrounding fauna are all moving. So employing my best Steve Irwin I quickly crouched down and said, " Crickey , this looks like the urban tree squirrel and she's a beauty!" Initially I thought there was a raccoon and I grabbed Elvis because he would lose that engagement. But he was bumper focused and did not see the movement. When I let him go and tossed the bumper into the pool I peeked around the deck to the base of the fig tree like

Collection Agencies and the 7 Stages of Grief

In August of 2010 my Mum suffered a hemorrhagic stroke of her left frontal lobe. For us lay-people this when blood bleeds into the brain and reeks all kinds of havoc up to killing the person. The pressure on the brain and the toxicity of the blood are not good. This type of stroke is typically caused by high blood pressure which me Mum has. In order to prevent death timeliness of care is paramount. My Mum was at the a hair salon so you know the personnel were ready to respond in a professional manner. I will skip the details but her stroke involved paramedics, a helicopter flight to a neurological specialist center (about $13,000) and the miracle drug tPA. tPa or Tissue Plasminogen Activator is a medication which is used to break up blood clots during an acute (read:bad) stroke. It saved Mum’s life. I told that story to tell you this one. For some reason my Mum on a small fixed income was extended credit by two Bank, Wells Fargo (@ 29.99% interest) and GE Money Bank (@ 24.99% interest)
