Thursday Drivel

Statistics show that more babies are born in September than in any other month of the year.  Hmmm.

Last night I was alternatively watching TV and checking for light leaks - becoming a favorite past-time.  Loud laughing brought me back to reality.  The laughing was coming from my current wife's computer room.  I stumbled down the hall to see what was going on.  Kinnick was on the scene by the time I got there.  Sue filled me in after taking a few minutes to calm down.  It seems she was watching TV and a GEICO commercial came on.  There was a pig named Maxwell riding in a carseat in the back seat of a car.  The window was open and Maxwell, the pig, was hanging out of the window, holding a pinwheel on a stick and yelling weeeeee weeeeee weeeeeee! Check it out in case you haven't seen it.  I finally saw it and it was very cute.

Jenny, the elder, will be traveling home tomorrow for a week or so stay.  She should be here around 6:00 pm.  The transition has begun with Kinnick and his things.  We took non-essential items over to his house today.  He appears to be getting excited.  We have told him his Mom is coming home and he has figured out that it will be soon.  We had to hold Kinnick out of Puppy Day Care yesterday because of the wound to his pad.  We just felt it would be best for him to rest it.  He kept it elevated the best he could for most of the day.  We told him a few minutes ago that he could go tomorrow.  He was really pumped up with that news.

Kinnick and I were on the bed horsing around a little while ago.  He teases me and plays with me to keep me interested.  Sue had the TV on in the next room and I could here this GEICO commercial playing.  I grabbed one of Kinnicks front paws and proceeded to recite the "this little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none." With each little piggy, I would grab the next toe on his foot.  I got to "This little piggy went weeee all the way home".  I grabbed for a toe but I had ran out of toes - Kinnick only has four toes it seems.  Upon discovering this I yelled, "Sue, Kinnick doesn't have a weee weeee toe!"  I heard a thud and then a burst of uncontrollable laughter.  I looked in Sue's room and she was laughing and writhing on the floor.  On the TV was this GEICO commercial with Maxwell the pig yelling weeeee weeeee weeeeee.  You had to be there I guess.  Word to the wise, CHECK  YOU DOG IMMEDIATELY - THEY MAY NOT HAVE A WEEE WEEE TOE EITHER!!!!

Since the demise of the Canasta Club, I have been trying to get something to replace it.  The leagues fees really helped the cash flow.  I have looked at a dog workout club featuring doggie palates.  I looked at beginning a mobile pooper scooper service.  I looked at several other service related opportunities but in the final analysis nothing was a lucrative as seniors leagues.  I already knew that another Canasta Club was out since there was enough interest.  I contacted the ladies of the Etavirp Club who were in Vermont.  I tried to lure them back offering all sorts of incentives.  I was told in no uncertain words to leave them alone.  Their American tour of casinos has come to an end already she told me.  They did so well at the slots in the northeast US that they had accumulated enough funds to purchase their own casino.  I can't even come close to matching that.  With this I have settled on organizing a domino league for seniors over 70 years.  This will be coed. US Domino Association certified dominoes will be provided along with unlimited nachos/dip and Maalox upon request. Valet walker parking is available.  Canes, coats, boots and hats may be checked at the door.  League rules are in the process of being drafted.  This will be a 5 star league and the only one in the area.  I'm really excited withs the prospects.

The French Roast is wearing off so enough of this drivel for today.  Who knows what tomorrow will bring?  TA!
