Cherrie always tells me, “There are lessons to be learned from difficult situations.” So, As I wait for her arrival call from Customs at Boston Logan, I made a list.
The Lessons I have learned from my challenge:
(Some were total surprises, even to me)
- Vacuuming requires the movement of furniture (who knew?)
- After doing the laundry, the bed does not make it’s self
- Our new and expensive Energy Star dryer won’t fold my boxers
- It is impossible to mop the kitchen floor without leaving streak marks (Law of Sponge Mop Physics 127, the more you wash the floor, the streakier it gets)
- The less you shower, the dirtier the shower gets
- Forget the Big Bang Theory, lint appears spontaneously from thin air (ashes to ashes lint to lint, Darwin was wrong)
- The cat doesn’t know how to clean the litter box
- Why do they call it an “Automatic Dishwasher” when you have to push buttons?
- They don’t sell TV Dinners anymore at the Supermarkets
And, - I still can’t find the TV remote. I have had to read books for 20 days!

My son arrived home from Purdue yesterday and told me about this T-Shirt site, Threadless T-Shirts, and as I was perusing the site I came across a couple of designs that I thought would be good to post for this weekend’s Gay Pride Festival in Minneapolis. Enjoy!

A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre.
After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings, and made it safely to his van.
However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas.
When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, “Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings. I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.”
See if you have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else.
I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing Toulouse.

Jill took this picture of the boys who were geeking together when Daniel came to visit for a week. The picture isn’t the greatest quality since she took it with my iPhone, and it doesn’t have a flash.

Jocelyn Paine posted an entry on the Dr. Dobbs Code Talk Blog called, ((What ((is) with (all)) of (the) ()s?) Hmmm?). I recall fondly the end of my Artificial Intelligence class in graduate school where Dr. Bonnie Bennett did utter the phrase, “Recursion is how God thinks.” That may well be, but LISP is a strange perversion created by man to serve the machine which actually means, “Lots of Insidious Stupid Parentheses.”

When you look at this picture close up, you see Albert Einstein, but if you stand about fifteen feet away, the picture will become Marilyn Monroe.
