You know how sometimes you plan to do one thing, but you get into it and before you know it you find yourself going off in a completely different direction? Well, that happened to me yesterday.
I had planned on doing a post called “Two Guys Named Joe” (Wurtzelbacher vs. Soptic), but by yesterday afternoon, that story had already come and gone, so I didn’t want to expend any more energy on it.
I came up with the title of the post because it sounded kinda like “Five Guys Named Moe“, which then made me remember a live stage performance I saw on TV many, many years ago, which then reminded me of a really cute song called “Your Feet’s Too Big“.
My children have learned not to let me play on YouTube without adult supervision. I escaped their clutches this weekend….

Age, treachery, and all that – 😛
Have a great day!

I am about to be replaced in my husband’s affections. Yes, I’m afraid that the man has given his heart to another – she’s got a really nice body, she’s got a lot of get-up-and-go, and she’s new and exciting.
I can’t compete with that.
For the next 6 weeks, I’m going to have to listen to him go on and on about how he can’t wait for her to get here. He’s been telling all of his friends and family about this sexy little model that will soon be joining our household.
No doubt he will be spending all of his spare time with her, running his hands over her sleek lines, lavishing her with all sorts of new toys – giving her nothing but the best. He’ll be taking her out on the town, showing her off, and making all of the other guys pea-green with envy.
At least the bitch is going to be sleeping in the garage…..

Statement by the President, August 6, 1945
THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington, D.C.
IMMEDIATE RELEASE — August 6, 1945
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima, an important Japanese Army base. That bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of T.N.T. It had more than two thousand times the blast power of the British “Grand Slam” which is the largest bomb ever yet used in the history of warfare.
The Japanese began the war from the air at Pearl Harbor. They have been repaid many fold. And the end is not yet. With this bomb we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction to supplement the growing power of our armed forces. In their present form these bombs are now in production and even more powerful forms are in development.
It is an atomic bomb. It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. The force from which the sun draws its power has been loosed against those who brought war to the Far East.
Careful – Big Bird Brother is watching…..
New York City’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg has officially lost it:
Under Latch On NYC, new mothers who want formula won’t be denied it, but hospitals will keep infant formula in out-of-the-way secure storerooms or in locked boxes like those used to dispense and track medications.
With each bottle a mother requests and receives, she’ll also get a talking-to. Staffers will explain why she should offer the breast instead.
“It’s the patient’s choice,” said Allison Walsh, of Beth Israel Medical Center. “But it’s our job to educate them on the best option.”
Since Rebecca is home all day during the summer, we’re having fun introducing her to a wider range of movies. Whereas before she was primarily interested in the animated flicks, this year she has developed a taste for the offbeat humor that us older folks enjoy.
Her current favorite is “Ghostbusters”, but we watched “Men in Black” yesterday. One of my favorite musical moments is the tunnel scene when Tommy Lee Jones pops a toe-tapping tune into the 8-track player.
Now, I haven’t kept up with all of the Elvis songs, so I wasn’t familiar with that catchy little number, but thanks to the internet, I took a couple of the words that I heard – “Swing down chariot” – and entered them on the Search line, along with “Elvis”.
You can bet no terrorist is going to try anything once they realize these guys are on the job:

Early this morning, Paul and I went to vote in the Texas Primary Runoff Election.
There are those who will tell you that the Tea Party is dead – we’ll see.
Let’s light this candle.
