She is barking at me, like she is trying to tell me that Bobby fell in the well or something like that. I wonder if my kids have been showing her those old Lassie reruns again?
Seriously, I have been trying to teach her to bounce on my bed, jump up and down like a kid. It’s not going very well. I’m using a laser pointer, which she loves. But she’s so enthusiastic about the pointer that I’m afraid she’s going to knock a hole in the wall. Come to think of it, I’ll probably regret this in the future, when my bed has a crater the size of the Grand Canyon. I’ll keep you updated on the bouncing lessons.
Oh good, she stopped barking and is sitting at my feet. Looks like she’s going to settle down and watch One Stroke Painting with Donna Dewberry.
I’ve said it before about breakfast

But no one seemed to pay attention, so I’ll say it again:
Why doesn’t some restaurant or fast food joint deliver breakfast? Yeah, I know a lot of people order pizza for dinner, then eat the leftovers for breakfast, but that’s not what I mean. I’m talking about waking up, rubbing your eyes, and sleepily calling for some hot pancakes at your door. Actually, right now, an omelet would be what I ordered. A big fluffy omelet.
Someone needs to get started on this idea. And if you’re the one that does, you don’t even have to give me a commission for developing this concept. All you would need to do is make sure that once in a while, I get an omelet.
Like Game Shows?

I have always wanted to be on a game show. I think my fascination with started while watching Art Fleming and the contestants on Jeopardy. Or maybe it was the interaction of Allen Ludden and his guests playing Password. I just remember that from a very early age, I thought it would be a lot of great fun to play games and win prizes.
Most of us will never be a contestant on a game show, but thanks to the Online sweepstakes contest at WhoGets, people can visit their site and experience the thrill of winning great prizes in their online contests. Entrants can vie for prizes like a 1GB iPod shuffle. Or how about a Micro Flyer RC Electric Airplane? Then again, it would be heavenly to relax with a Tony Little Deep Kneading Foot Massager with Heat.
In order to enter and win, you find a prize you want, and enter the contest semi-final pool. Whoever is randomly selected as one of the seven finalists gets to tell everyone why they should win, and whoever gets the most votes wins the prize. What could be easier? Whogets is free to join and there’s no spam. There’s nothing to buy and you don’t have to complete any offers. All you have to do is keep playing until you win.
Have you called the The Luke Johnson Phone Experiment yet?

I had heard of Luke Johnson, but I didn’t know he was a local guy until recently. Luke made a video of himself and put it on YouTube. In the video, he shows his phone number, 602-435-3694, and asks everyone to call him. He’s been featured on national and international news shows, and has received calls from all over the world, including China.
If you’re reading this and haven’t called him, he promised to answer day or night. So, what are you waiting for? Give him a call, and then post a comment here and let me know what he said.
Am I the only one interested in the mathematics of plants?

I have come to terms with the fact that I have a wide range of bizarre tastes. For example, I am fascinated by this article that talks about the spiral patterns in plants that display the golden angle. It also talks about the amazing appearance of Fibonacci numbers in nature.
Sounds rather complicated, doesn’t it? I admit that I used to be able to understand this stuff more than I do now. I guess I spent too much time with coloring books and not enough with physics books, lol, and like they say, if you don’t use it, you lose it. However, this article isn’t too difficult to understand, and to me, these numbers show that life is not a matter of chance and that there is a greater Hand behind what we see.
If I went to Florida for vacation…

I have to admit that there are some attractions that fascinate me, while there are others that aren’t quite suitable for my tastes. For example, if someone were to give me Universal Studios Tickets , I would appreciate the gesture but probably wouldn’t use them. However, I probably would really enjoy visiting and touring the Kennedy Space Center. I’d also probably get a real thrill from experiencing up-close animal encounters at Sea World Orlando. Who knows, I may even enjoy clapping along to the music at Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede.
When it comes to thrills and attractions, Florida has something to suit just about all tastes. I think that the Orlando area has more square miles of fun than any other place on the planet.
When it comes to buying tickets to these attractions, Orlandofuntickets.com is the ultimate source for discount tickets, and can help everyone deal with the intimidating factors of dealing with admission tickets.
Annoying cooking shows

I just watched a husband and wife cooking show. They were making enchiladas, or at least they pretended to. The filling was chicken, and they used canned green chile enchilada sauce with a topping of a four cheese blend. Okay, I can tolerate all that, but then they used flour tortillas.
SACRILEGE!
TRAVESTY!
I understand the concept of fusion cooking, but I also think that if a show is trying to show “authentic” food, then they need to be familiar with what they’re discussing. What they need to do is to buy one of Rick Bayless‘ cookbook and consult that. If they refuse, then someone needs to whack ‘em upside the head with a raw nopalito pad.
