Random Thoughts for a Saturday

After work yesterday we actually went on a date. We watched a matinee showing of 'The Men Who Stare At Goats', it was pretty enjoyable - lots of funny stuff. Afterward, Rick preceptively commented on the casting of Ewan McGregor. I'm the one who usually notices vagaries - this one slipped by me - I must be slipping too!


Funniest sight of the day #1: Flock of pigeons - unofficial state bird - roosting in the top of the giant 'advertising' bucket of KFC up the street. That's what that new recipe is, eh?

Most recent observation on the aging process: No one can 'tell' you what it's like to suffer the infirmities of age - it's something you have to experience in order to fully empathize. You don't really know what it's like to BE old until you ARE old.

Funnier sight of the day: Esther and (willing participant) Hendrik playing 'cow'. Esther put a rope around her brother's waist (thankfully not his neck) and proceeded to run across the back yard at break-neck speed with her prize steer scootching along in the grass behind her. (Note to self: always have the camera along in case unexpected local wildlife appears)
