Amnesia

Wow...looks like I'm not the only person who has trouble remembering these days.  Rick Perry can't and neither can Herman Cain, though I sure hate lumping myself in with those two.  Ick.  And the firing of Joe Paterno?  My faith in our country's sense of right and wrong just edged forward, slightly.  After seeing the "two faces" of old Joe on TV last night, I was reaching for the Tums.  I don't care if the man is 84.  When you make a mistake of the magnitude that his was, you are NOT in a position to "negotiate" your departure.  His EGO  knows no bounds.

Now, though I have not seen him (her?) this week, I did see Bun, my rabbit pal, one day last week and there's just something with him, and the corner house on his block.  When I see him, he's usually hanging down there, all stretched out in the grass, chillaxin', as Benji would say.  And all stretched out, he's l-o-n-g.  He's a lot longer than I realized.  I don't know why I am so nuts about him, but I just am.  He makes me want to go fix him a salad.

Now, we have lots going on this weekend.  Family doings, Brian's move, and heaven only knows what else is in store.  That's sort of how weekends are around here.  They seem to just amp up all on their own.  Last weekend, Fred did teach me how he cleans out my Big Green Eggs so she's spotless, awaiting my turkey.  I read online where one BGE aficionado did a "practice turkey" before his Thanksgiving debut.  Honey...that's a lot of turkey and I'm not going there. 

Yesterday I went to get my hair cut and my hair dresser is one of my MOST favorite people.  Our mission when we are together is to yak, but it's usually on a pretty deep level, and once that's done, we get down to the funny.  I told him I was bored with my hair, that I wanted it short but long, and to cut it, but not to cut it.  Then I told him about the hairdryer attached to the wall in our hotel in Sorrento, that blew like a jet engine.  It made the back of my hair ducktail perfectly and that my dryer here at home just won't.  My solution?  I told him I was gonna get our leaf blower, and give that a shot.
