There is not nearly enough cynicism available on the www these days.  I have pounced onto the information superhighway, albeit a
little late to the party.  With so many ahead of me who have actual talent, I intend to stay behind the leaders and draft.  
That puts me in the slipstream and I am not so much here to protect.  I am here to serve, baby.

April 3, 2007                 ONE LEGGED WOMEN ARE DANCING ON TV -
                          TE*XT <ES$ASSGE UR FRIE@NDS

I have no shame in admitting that I have text messaged and it is nothing to fear unless you fear being totally annoyed.

When my wife went to Africa last fall, we realized there were places she would be where cell phones would not operate. Strategic texting became a way to communicate in
staccato bursts of love and adoration.        
   how r u?
  i r fine.
  get ur butt home.
  gotta go bi.

I had never texted before.

I have never texted since.

I am hoping to completely avoid it in my waning years.

Here is a fine exchange we had while she was gone. It took me roughly 55 minutes to enter one message, so this exchange took about two hours of peck typing on pinhead
sized keys that made my thumbs seem like brontosaurus hooves:

From me: All good here. Son has new job. He moved back home. Our home. His stuff everywhere. When u home?

From Bunny: Arrived resort hotel in Tanzania. We have a butler here. Elephants and zebra wander the grounds. Lovely.

From me: Ok. When u home?

From Bunny: Butler brought tea and turned down bed.

From me: If son changes jobs again, we will turn him into our butler. When u home?

In talking to my son and his friends who are active in the text messaging world, the above exchange would be scoffed at as being way too substantive in content and should
have been executed in voice format. Helpful advice. Will keep that in mind while I LOL.

Apparently, texting is for messages with meaning in the range of “little to none.” Of primary focus would be things you might NOT say out loud in class or in meetings. A goal for
texting might be to crack up the recipient when they read it to cause embarrassment in whatever setting they are in. Examples? More acceptable messages would be like:           
call asap (this message texted on a phone???)
  B’s hot mohawk rules
  T is a whoredog.
  R u horny?
  I R horny.
  Meet at 3. Bring beer 4 me.
  U Bite me

And another thing.

While I am thinking about it, I do not go for perfume in the iced tea. Give me regular iced tea. Give everyone regular iced tea. If you ladies want some raspberry tea, peach tea,
lemon tea, banana tea, mango tea, rose petal tea, Eau de Temps’ tea, or any other kind of girlie tea…order it on the side and spatula into your glass to your hearts’ content.
When I go in the restaurant and order iced tea and they say, “We only have sweet kumquat tea, will that be alright?”, the answer is an unhesitant and unrepentant “NO.”
Heretofore, said emphatic “no” will be followed by me storming out in a huff before ordering. We cannot let this absurd trend take root. We can address the banning of all
quiche dishes at a later date.

While I am getting all random on your ass (as the kids say), don’t bring me any of those novelty condiments of any kind either. No chutney in the mayo, no mintleaves in the
mustard and no dill in anything at all. Keep your dill to yourself. Bring the French’s mustard, the Miracle Whip mayo and there is only one brand of ketchup…HEINZ. No other
ketchup need exist. Don’t be offering up any Costco Kustom Deluxe Ketchup from a 55 gallon drum. Heinz or nada.

That ought to do it for today kids.

Texas Springtime Blues

I lived in Texas for most of my life and have
never seen a more beautiful year for the
bluebonnets. They only bloom for a very short
time in the Spring. All these photos were taken
about 25 miles south of downtown Dallas.

South Pacific Magic

Maui, Hawaii sunset              Yep...I am gone.
April 22, 2007                                              Maui - It's Not That Great
April 24, 2007                                                            Hawaiian Monk Seal




















It is unusual to get to see this animal. They are endangered and there are simply not many left. This first shot just
shows his cute face, but
PAY ATTENTION HERE!! The other seven shots below show this Monk seal hunting and
killing an eel.

I do not think they are gross pics, but some people might. My brother says that he has seen Anna Nicole on drugs
and that is much worse than this. Nevertheless...

DO NOT look at the shots below if you think it will upset you. To this animal, it was just lunch.

It is extremely rare to see this. We were very fortunate today. You can read about these amazing animals here:
