Good morning my friends, I watched those little green numbers on my bedside clock change over to 2:20 this morning, but I decided I’d just lie there until I went back to sleep. Well, that didn’t work so hot, so I finally got up a little before 2:40 and took my vitals to make sure I was still alive and kicking. We have four trips to the funeral home this week and that alone will make one think about his mortality. One friend was my age, one was Vickie’s age, and two were older, but they all have begun their journey to their eternal home. I have no idea when we will join them, but according to Hebrews in the Bible, our ancestors are up there in the grandstands of heaven cheering us on to be successful in or earthly race. I really surprised Vickie last evening and took her to one of her favorite places to eat, Moe’s Southwestern Grill. Since I rarely go across I-77 to and endure all the traffic over there just to eat, it was really a treat for her. I’m not hard to please and can find something to eat on this side of the bridge anytime I’m hungry. But, I’ll have to admit, I really did enjoy devouring one of those “earmuffs.” I had some black beans, rice, and some grilled chicken along with bunches of lettuce, a pile of something I couldn’t pronounce, and some corn salad, and salsa piled on top and that was about it. The stuff filled up a big bowl and made a pile of food about five inches high. I got a basket of chips and some more salsa just to be sure I’d have enough to eat with my Diet Dr. Pepper. I’ll have to admit, I was a pretty satisfied dude by the time I got my tummy wrapped around all that stuff. It must have been pretty filling…I didn’t even eat popcorn and my candy bars when I got back home. But, it was after 8:00 when I got home and I don’t usually eat anything that late anyway and I had to remember my diet. I have an interesting factoid for you today. Do you know who invented the swinging door? I’ll give you a hint or two: it wasn’t invented here in America and it was invented long before either you or I was born. After an apple hit Sir, Isaac Newton in the head, he invented the swinging door for the convenience of his cats. See, cats have always had attitudes and probably talked old Isaac into inventing the door just for them. Another interesting fact is that the poor ancient Egyptians could have been put to death for mistreating their cats. Well, getting back to old Isaac, I wonder if he invented the Fig Newton, too. It could have been Sam Nabisco for all I know who invented the Fog Newton in honor of his buddy, Isaac. Anyway, I really like those rectangular things filled with smashed up figs, but I wish they would have taken the calories and carbs out of ‘em before they put’em out for public consumption. Well, I’ve already eaten my banana, a huge bowl of Cheerios, written my post, and taken my vitals, so I guess it’s time to wish all my Facebook friends who are celebrating the anniversary of their births to have a Happy Birthday. By the time I have my shower and dress; it’ll be time to go to the gallery. Maybe I’ll get there in time for my Cheese Crackers and ginger snaps and still have time for a short nap. Have a good day my friends and try to behave. Remember those grandstands up there in heaven where all your relatives are watching you. Santa Claus is watching you, too. God Bless!!
