Miscellaneous Ramblings

**Last night I came home to find that my dog, left on his own for the day and with his run of the house, had gnawed right through a sealed bag of cat food and helped himself to a midday snack. The weird part is that he did not eat the entire bag. Presumably he ate until he was full. We didn't know he could get full.

**I love Prince. Can you really top Purple Rain and Little Red Corvette? How about Raspberry Beret?

**While watching the coverage of Michael Jackson's death last week the following conversation occurred between me, my not impressed by pop culture husband and my 14 year old stepson.
Dave - "I can't watch anymore of this. Can you please change the channel?"
Me - "You are a history buff, how can you not recognize pop culture as an integral part of American history?"
Sam - "Yeah dad, you have to at least respect Michael Jackson as an artist."
Dave - "Shut up!"

**Does anyone want to go with me to San Francisco for a writing seminar? I'm trying to develop my Plan B, but I'm not a big one for traveling alone.
