Everything is not just black and white.
In fact, this animal is more than a little irritated that it is not a horse. Everybody loves a horse, Cowboys do. Indians do. Everybody.
But the zebra lives its life with a chip on its shoulder.
The only ones who like zebras are the ones who just squandered a weeks pay to bring the kids to the zoo, or some other wild animal who sees it as dinner.
In an effort to keep this what-ever-you-call-it being something acceptable that you welcome into your valuable inbox, today we try calling it a newszebra. I get more than a few comments about liking or disliking newsletters, And newsburgers. so well keep on searching for something that truly resonates with you guys.
Please keep on letting me know your opinions/.
Right now I must pause for some oat gruel, fresh blueberries, and honey from Cleveland, Tennessee, prepared for me by Saint Peggy. more to come afterwards…
At this point in the morning, I turn on Pandora, tuned to the Celtic Radio Chanel. I feel that I have outgrown the Gregorian Chant Channel, enjoying something a bit more upbeat.
This week we unearthed the Piggly Wiggly School of Writing, Bear Scat, Weekend readers, and we worked with a couple of therapists helping me to tone up my muscles, get ripped, get a six-pack, and get some nerves firing better to help my balance and walking. The only thing that was left untouched, it seems, was my sense of, well, logic, and my great hair.
Like the doctors keep telling me, “Cheer up! it could always be worse.”
I have spent a good deal of time on some microbooks this week. I’m trying to charge an arm and a leg for them, and they are not very good.
But hey, they could always be worse.
I would consider it a favour if you would check them out sometime.
Also, it would just give me a thrill if you would subscribe to this site, which incidentally gives me a reason to live. It’s free. but go ahead and snub me if you feel that’s the right thing for you to do.
My very youngest grandpeep asked me recently, “Gramps, have you LOST YOUR MIND?” - Made me feel great! really! Made me think of Grandfather’s Day.
