Recent conversation with Brenda:
Brenda: How was your day?
Me: It was going so well until I got chased by a police dog.
Brenda: Oh, sweet lord, why was a police dog chasing you?
Me: I'm not sure. Maybe it was the Beggin' Strips t-shirt I was wearing.
Brenda: I told you that shirt was ridiculous.
Me: Whatever. But as a Public Service Announcement, if you're being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then onto a little see-saw, then jump through a ring of fire. Apparently, they're trained for that.

I overheard someone of my generation (born in the early 60's) recently say, "Kids today don't even know how to write in cursive," in a negative way. That statement got grumbled agreement from the codgers nearby. I was thinking without saying out loud, "Grandma, you can't even turn on your laptop without getting six viruses and wiring half your retirement money to a Nigerian Prince." Go »
