Opening Stuff:
Was there ever a more anxious moment in your lives than sitting at your school desk playing with the inkwell wondering if a certain someone in the front row brought a Valentine for you. Inkwell! Make that IPad.
That Google Valentines Day card in their logo says it beautifully.
Oh yeah...it's about that $336 Million Powerball winner. From, Newport Rhode Island. Bought in the supermarket where I go 3-4 times a week to buy Cheetos, Cheez-its and a assorted other daily provisions. For the next few days I'll be watching closely the smiles on the faces of my friends. I learned the news about the store around noon yesterday as a news team approached me for a man on the street interview as I walked into S&S to redeem my $2.00 scratch-off. There goes the pension plan up in smoke! It won't be RI for another 30 years.

Why Husbands Shouldn't help out around the House Department:
How about the husband who sees the basket of clothes next to the dryer and brings it upstairs, folds them all perfectly and neatly puts everything away in the proper drawers. The wife comes home to say "Those clothes haven't been washed yet! Hmm...now where exactly did I put those clothes? And, another helpful hubby who proudly unloads the dishwasher only to find that they have yet to be washed. Now where exactly did I put those dishes, glasses, knives and forks!
It's hard to talk about politics when there is romance in the air. When the world momentarily stops, feet leave the sidewalks and the roar that you hear is the pounding of hearts in love.
Unfortunately, today's politics are like an open wound which resists all attempts at healing. It is the accident you can drive past without slowing down to see the damage. This the time when there are no non-political statements whether or not intended. Everything is analyzed and autopsied. So, let's just think about love today. But, if nobody sends you a valentine, at least you can think about how much worse your life would be if you had to be a politician.
A woman driving through Southern California went into a roadside store that sold fruits, vegetables and crafts. At the counter to pay, she noticed the clerk painting a new sign. "Why the new sign?" she asked. "My boyfriend didn't like the last one," she said eyes darting up. The woman looked up at the old sign and understood. "Local Honey Dates Nuts."
The Crime of the Century was Lyndon Johnson raiding the Social Security Trust Fund.
In response to my Northface remark yesterday, a Tid's wag suggested that the uniform has become so commonplace that America is beginning to look like the quilted masses of communist China. Save you identity, common sense will rise again. The same contributor also notes that there was a clothing competitor from Missouri who didn't quite make it named "SouthButt"!
The Hollywood news corps really are vultures, aren't they.
But, this kid Jeremy Lin, the NY Knick who is currently in the sights of the NY news vultures seems to have it right. I'd rather be at home with my family. "We are private people".
PETA is nuts. Actually, if PETA is for it, I'm against it. Actually, it just burns me that I have to capitalize those letters.
Rookie NBA'er Kyle Irving has been doing for Cleveland all year long what Lin is doing that gets him iconic status after only five games.
Actually, all is not adulation in the a basketball world. Some black players have Tweeted that black players do what he does every day and Lin is only getting the notoriety because he is Chinese.
Think about this imagery at the Grammies: Fawning adulation of an audience for Chris Brown who battered his wife while mourning the death of Whitney battered down to a point of no return by a drug infested husband.
Personally, I just don't like Paul McCartney's voice any more. I get this fingernail on the chalkboard feeling. Or maybe, it's the new songs he writes I don't like.
Almost Near: Chapter 61 continues. --"What's wrong Rebecca?"
"I don't know you at all, and your touching me. I don't like people touching me, especially men who are strangers." Rebecca glared. She wasn't a child, Tucker thought. He stared back, but in a softer, more kindly manner.
"Hey, I'm sorry Rebecca!" He was all smiles and raised his hands to exaggerate no touching allowed. She kept staring and then turned to Sheila.
"You alright Sheil?'
"I think so. I just haven't thought about ever seein' mom again Beck." Tucker could see that Sheila would do anything as long as Rebecca approves.
"Ok, how about this...how bout I call you Sheil and Beck and no touching allowed even if you're feeling low and need a friendly hug. OK?"
Rebecca managed to soften her lips. "OK, we'll go with Sheil and Beck and that's it."
"Where should we go now? Florence isn't expecting us." The kids looked at each other with no idea about how to answer. "How bout," he continued, "We go to the mall and you guys pick out some new clothes. maybe a couple of outfits. You'll want to look special and beautiful when we go visit your mom."
"Visit our Mom?"
Sure, I can take you there. I know Florence would think it Ok."
