Things you remember.



In High School if you lettered in football you got a jacket and in basketball a conventional sweater.
One year I was dating a girl quite small in stature, we were an odd looking couple and in those days,  as it is today, nothing is more important to a girl than to strut around wearing her boyfriends's sports gear.
Ever the gentleman I gave her dimensions when the basketball sweaters were ordered and gave it to her.
Imagine my surprise when Principal Mahoney decided on a team photo for the school's Annual. I quickly fetched  the sweater back but Coach Nance was so mad he tied the sleeves around my neck and the shot was taken with it dangling down in front.
A photo that remains in obscurity.

gave up on sleeping in (loser)

Keep trying until you get it right

Routines are hard to break.
Upon arising I run and feed the dogs and they aren't buying the new arrangement.

Many of us remain fortunate for

your misfortune (sorry pal)

I guess training elephants aint

quite the same as training dogs

I used to think that with no more elephants I would be free of animal husbandry but 4:00 AM & PM turned out to be Milo Sausage times for the dogs and Kibbles & Bits for the Feral cats out back.
Old habits die hard.
