I took a quiz to find out who likes me.
The entire family laughed heartily.
“No one likes you,” they chortled.
I took the quiz.
The results?
“No one likes you.”
Stupid quiz.

Watch Out!
My ESL student told me that she got a traffic ticket.
For driving on the sidewalk.
Wait, what?
On the sidewalk?
Was she on a bicycle?
No, she was in her car.
There was a lot of traffic.
And she was in a hurry.
Oh.
OK then.
As long as there was a good reason.
Cheers
I had never had mulled wine before.
It’s the drink that Clarence the angel ordered in It’s A Wonderful Life.
In the movie, Nick the bartender got annoyed.
So of course I had to try the mulled wine.
I had to see what was so annoying about this drink.
It turns out that mulled wine is simply hot sangria.
Not bad, Clarence, not bad.
Nick needs to chill.
I Love My Dog
I sat down to play with the dog, and I noticed that the floor was gross and could really use a mop.
It kinda made me regret playing with the dog.
HAHA just kidding!
I never regret playing with the dog.
Mopping the floor, however, is nothing but a crushing disappointment.
Who Moved My Stuff?
My sons are grown.
I thought I was well past that stage in my life where I find weird items in odd places.
Apparently not.
Today I found a can of shaving cream in a bookcase.
What the heck?
I put it under the bathroom sink.
I my mind I can already hear the outrage.
“Who moved my shaving cream?”
Happy Hour
Today my adult ESL students were discussing going to the movies.
I broke them into pairs to have a conversation.
Student 1: Would you like to meet me at 5:00 in the evening to see a movie?
Student 2: 5:00 o’clock is not evening. 5:00 o’clock is afternoon.
1:
Me: 5:00 can be called afternoon or evening. Both are OK.
2: 5:00 is afternoon.
Me: You can say that 5:00 is too early, and you would prefer to meet later.
2: 5:00 O’CLOCK IS AFTERNOON!
Yeah, I’m guessing this guy doesn’t get too many invitations.
Car Chase
There was a car chase on the local DFW news.
Everyone is talking about it.
It was kind of cute.
At least by LA standards.
The suspect appeared to be very polite.
He paused at all of the intersections.
He avoided hitting any other vehicles or structures.
He was very careful, during his off-roading segments, not to damage his car.
You never see that kind of consideration in LA car chases.
When he finally stopped and got out of the car, though, he tried to run.
HAHA – nope, that’s not gonna happen.
He got sacked.
This was only mildly entertaining.
I miss LA car chases.
