No matter how hard I try, the winter crud finds me and lays me low. Do not come near me. I am contagious and mad enough to want to spread it around.

You know that poem we all had to memorize back in grade school… at least, we did when I went to grade school back in the Paleolithic Period. It’s by Joyce Kilmer and it goes like this:

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

E needs to understand that they can’t just put the word “super” in front of a show and that makes it so… especially if they are referring to something that includes the words Kim and Khloe.

Is it just me or did our parents look a lot older when they were our age than we do now that we’re their age?

Here’s the teaser from the article on newly discovered species:

“Animals found nowhere else on the planet live near deep-sea vents and get energy from breaking down chemicals such as hydrogen sulphide—not the sun.”

I have to wonder if they aren’t all congregated down there scheming for when we finally spoil our earth so badly that the human race disappears and they take over.

My dear old Blondie is on medication that causes her to wake up every night at least once and need to go out. So I got up last night and stumbled down the stairs to the back door with her. Out of habit, I did a quick sweep of the yard before opening the door. Nothing seemed out of place or moving. And that’s when I noticed that one of the trees in the yard seemed to have grown two legs. Which, as we all know, is two legs too many for any tree to have. I opened my eyes

Surely you’ve seen the picture by now. The rhino is tranquillized, slung upside down under a helicopter and flown to a new sanctuary where his endangered species is protected. He’ll soon be joined by a female so that they can make many baby rhinos.

Imagine what that rhino must have thought when he finally came to from the tranquilizer. He had to think, “Wow. I must have been abducted by aliens. What a trip. Everything was upside down.

Here’s what’s really sad… this is my sister and she’s the sibling who actually has rhythm. And yes, the woman laughing in the background is almost as funny as Judy doing the strangest imitation of a zombie playing soccer ever.

My family… and they wonder why I live in Alaska….

I spent New Year’s Eve in a pleasant daze in front of a roaring fire while watching a Big Bang Marathon and being grateful I’d been allowed to live long enough to see the Big Bang reruns make it to cable.
