... or maybe they heard the conversation I had with my husband about throwing my latte at his car... that might have been it (of course, I'd never actually do it, really. Probably. Maybe.)
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

Hope you had fun on the Hill, DJ! We watched the fireworks on CPac, as well as some of the event on CBC (I think) with Leslie Feist singing. It looked SO crowded there, but the fireworks looked gorgeous. Wish I coulda been down there with the people. And LOL @ "you know who" and his car. A man of the people, indeed.  :D

Going to do security on a ship moored off coast for a few days. Limited internet on board. Don't know how much I can post.
Don't start any interesting conversations while I'm gone!

How's your Swedish?  Do you still use it with anybody?

Happy Anni, Buddy! 

Amicale, I thought of you yesterday.  I took T to see Madagascar 3, and there is a scene where the animals are running around in a casino in Monte Carlo looking for some monkeys (as you do, when in Monte Carlo.)  They find the monkeys standing on each other's shoulders dressed up like the Prince of Versailles.  Under the overcoat is also a couple of penguins.  The lion whips open the Prince of Versailles overcoat, and the monkey inside says to him "What's new pussycat?"  Then one of the penguins says "Whoah, whoah, whoah..." (as in hold on a minute.)   I was the ONLY person in the entire theater that laughed.  (Well, T started laughing after I did, but not because he got the joke, just because I was laughing.)  How is that possible?  Yes, I know that a theater full of little kids aren't going to get a Tom Jones joke, but not one of their parents?  Or am I wrong and it just wasn't funny?  I thought it was funny.  You would have laughed with me, right?

Why waste a perfectly good latte?

I laughed just reading it.   :D  Thanks, I needed a chuckle.

Eh, it's a bit lacking. I almost never use it anymore. I really only use it to confuse people.

Went fishing for the first time all year and caught two rainbow trout. They weren't terribly large, but after fishing almost every weekend last summer and not catching a single trout, I was happy. Beautiful day too. Got more tan.

LOL, that made me giggle! If I'd seen and heard that, I would have laughed for sure!  ;D

I think we'll be seeing Madagascar 3 shortly. Would you say it's as good as the others? The first is the best one so far, I think.

The Asmo got tanned too. And now, he's wanting to be rid of it.  >:( Unfortunately, easier to get than to remove, tan is.  >:(

Yes, it was very cute, although I have to say that I liked Brave better, so if you only see one.....

Asmo, why do you want to get rid of your tan?  I love my tan.

I don't like having an orange-ish reflection looking back at me in a mirror.
