Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009
I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our...
The post you probably shouldn't even read
A couple of weeks ago I was going to write a post venting away at some shit that has been bothering me, but decided not to. I didn't want to hurt anybodies feelings that might stray across this corner of the interwebs. I guess that I have had just about enough crap build up in my life that I just don't care any more and decided what the hell, I need to get some crap off my chest. So fair warning here, the pity party is about to commence. Those of you who have been reading this blog for any length of time know about my son Skyler. I love him to death but lately he has been getting on my very last nerve. We have been trying a form of Zoloft for him for a couple of months now in hopes that might help break him out of this funky mood he has been in. On top of the Cerebral Palsy and Sensory issues, he seems to be hell bent on doing self stimulating activities with his computer and DVDs that get him wound up and over the top excited. ...
I've always wondered what to do in these situations... Suggestions?

ReplyDeleteloved the last one with the cows dividing the "human".
I spent a week in Toronto back in the late 1980s. While there, I went to the Ontario Science Museum — which was exhibiting The Far Side of Science — a gallery filled with Far Side originals. Best hours ever spent in a science museum.
ReplyDeleteGhost: When I have an entire pig in my mouth, I just let the call go to voice mail. Hope that helps!

I remember reading a 'view of Larson where he said he's always thought of opening a restaurant that serves only cold cereal. I bet it'd fly!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is Larson doing nowdays?
ReplyDeleteLemon: Cool idea!
ReplyDeleteGrant: Last I read he was studying jazz guitar and writing a children's book, 'There's a Hair in my Dirt'
I remember a 20/20 interview of Gary Larson conducted in his home. He had a very typical looking bird cage hanging from the ceiling. There was a papier mache python crawling through the cage with a conspicuous bulge at the perch. I am still amused by that image.
ReplyDeleteI love Far Side! I can't give up my Dilbert desk calendar though.
ReplyDeleteEvil: He is certainly a tweeky dude, I think that is a great gag to have in the house. Thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteRaven: We are calendar ho's! I have far Side and Dilbert, my wife has Get Fuzzy and Jeopardy!
I miss the Far Side. I may have to go pick up one of these books, I was laughing so hard at these.
