- Last time I mentioned that there is nothing so funny as seeing Skippy running through the living room trailing one of Mrsfabp’s knitting projects behind him. Well now I know that there is nothing so sad as seeing Skippy run through the kitchen with the last two pieces of pizza in his mouth. Tragedy!
-We attended the Red Paint Powwow hosted by the Chiricahua Apache Nation, up in Silver City. There we were treated to several dozen Native Americans celebrating their culture, with traditional drums, songs and dances by people wearing wonderfully ornate, colorful and decorative clothing. This is a culture that goes back hundreds and hundreds of years. They performed several types of dances and songs and it was announced that you could follow the singers on Facebook and Twitter. Talk about having one foot in the past and one foot in the future…
-To take this one step further, how difficult must it be to be a part of this cultural heritage that celebrates with such passion and going back hundreds of years while living in this modern world? How often do these ideologies collide? How often must difficult choices be made?
-While scratching Skippy’s belly, Mrsfabp was commenting on how nice his fur color was. Her exact statement ended with the phrase “for a mutt.” At which point Skippy stopped rolling around on his back and gave her the saddest face I have seen on an animal. She corrected herself by saying “for a mixed breed” and Skippy immediately began rolling around on his back again and smiling. Coincidence? I think not…
-It is like Christmas when you wake up and find a package on your doorstop that you have no idea about. Nothing beats the feeling when you discover it is 12 bottles of Casco Bay Beer and its already cold. Thank you CollegeBoy and MissNicole for the first of 3 Christmas surprises!
-I have used Apple Care 3 times, twice on the iMac and once on the iPad. All three times, issues have been resolved quickly and easily. By my account that makes it Apple Care 3, every other IT support I have ever used, Zero!
-Do you know what you get when you help someone in the parking lot of the Pan Am Center after a basketball game? Well Mrsfabp got a trip... off the curb and onto the pavement where she scraped her face, knee and jammed her finger. She also won another free trip... to the local fire department so that a few of the guys could cut her ring off her finger because it had swollen so much over night. They get a free tray of brownies coming to them for their efforts.
-This has not been a good week for wedding rings. I lost mine and have no idea where it could be other than at a local pawn shop. Now Mrsfabp had to have her's cut off her finger. It is a good thing our mariage is strong enough to get past this. Like Mrsfabp's sister says, "It could be an omen..."
