You know all those places on Facebook where you are invited to “like” something. Why is there never a “dislike” button available?
Show me the person
Show me the person who doesn’t immediately rip off and devour the crispy wings from their store bought roasted chicken before anyone else in the family can get to them and I’ll show you a person I probably wouldn’t want as a friend.
Traditions
If you’ve lived in Anchorage for even a short period of time and have not yet gone to the Greek Festival held every year at the Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church, you are missing one of Anchorage’s best moments. And I’m not just talking about the dessert tent, though that alone could occupy a full page of superlatives.
I go with friends each year who understand that first we have to stop at the dessert tent before all the best pastries are gone and then we go eat the wonderful Greek dinners, salads, gyros, etc. available from cooks who clearly
Sheldon’s coming soon
The Big Bang Theory has resumed taping. Sheldon (or as we who are his intimates like to call him – Shelly) will soon be back in our homes every Thursday night so that those of us who are completely, unapologetically and forever in love with him will soon have more than reruns to sustain us. Can I get a Hallelujah!
Clearly size is not the ultimate arbiter
Snowy may be smaller in size but notice that the bigger dog follows him in the hope of figuring out how he won all the toys yesterday.
Oh yeah, and I’m mostly doing this to annoy my cousin Joe…. ok, I may have somewhere between 14 and 60 cousin Joe’s but he knows which one I mean.

Maybe not the brightest bulb in the box
I put the cloth bag I use for groceries at the end of the hallway so the next time I go down the hallway to the garage I will take it with me to the car. The bag fell over.

I looked up to see him staring at the fallen bag, growling, sneaking up on it slowly and then running backwards right before reaching it. The bag had him scared to death.
I guess you gotta love them no matter how dim they act.

Oh dear me
Apparently yesterday’s posting has upset the Christian right in town. Oh dear, oh dear. Someone remind me sometime in January when things are slow and it’s dark and cold to worry about this.
Prevo has reason to be nervous
My hope for humanity is that sometime in the not too distant future, the Jerry Prevo’s of this world will die out. I pray this happens before the Second Coming so that Jesus won’t be quite so angry at finding out what some people were doing in his name. Jesus said “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” He did not ask his disciples to first ascertain their sexual orientation.
The difference between Jerry Prevo and Jesus is that Jesus inhabited a world of inclusion,
