SUMMER = ROCK AND ROLL

Which of course leads to Alice Cooper's rock classic:

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!

Woo Hoo

SCHOOLS OUT !!

My kid, Big Little Guy, studied his brains out, burned the midnight oil, scrambled to get notes, had sleepless nights and fretful days and is now, finished with his first year of high school finals. Hallelujah!, school is out and Summer is officially here!!!!

I’m not sure about him, but I’m exhausted! Whew!

To be honest, his school is a seriously academic school. But he loves that place and is willing to work to stay in it. Which I guess is a good thing, because it’s so hard, I couldn't make him go.

YEA for Summer!!!

Screenplay

Funny how ideas can strike when you least expect them.
I had been thinking about an unfinished screenplay off and on for the last few days. It's been bothering me that I haven't worked it out and I've been disappointed that instead of tackling it, I've sidetracked to other stories and ideas.
I really love my characters, but the story kept going in circles or just nowhere.
Then the other day, as I'm staring blankly out the window (in my usual fog), a wonderful, rich layering for that story flooded into my head. I love the ideas and I can't wait to put it down.

(now to just ignore the fluff and Go!)

Fluff and Stuff

Been super busy filling my days with Fluff, dealing with Stuff that can't be ignore, and ignoring the big picture.
Fluff is = Making meals, cleaning, laundry, food shopping, running errands, running errand, run, run, run...
Stuff is = Finishing up the excruciatingly boring defensive driving course I have to take for going 9 miles over the speed limit (note hint of irritation), Cleaning out my office, cleaning out the garage, organizing everyone's schedules, continual postponement of personal goals and dreams, and always catching up, yet never moving forward.
Big Picture = Even with all the Fluff and Stuff, my life is pretty darn good!

This is one of my favorites!

Cow Abduction

I know you're thinking "Wow, that cow is actually floating up into that space craft! Look there are real aliens in the windows!"

HOLY COW!

Sea Cow!

The very rare and endangered Sea Cow.

MOOre cow lovin"

Moo MOO MOooooo !!

cow love

I love cows. I guess that's why I can't bring myself to eat them. I think their cute and funny and sweet. Or at least the cows that I have known. On the ranch where I had my horse, the cows were more like pets than livestock. I mean sure, if you get a lot of them together, they can become the dumbest animals, prone to do the stupidest thing. But the same thing can be said for humans. Take a rock concert for example. Or a football game. Lot's of people doing really stupid things. Maybe it has more to do with group mentality. The more living creatures you put together in one place, the lower their IQ drops. Then again, a person can be smart and become stupid in a crowd. A cow is pretty much dumb all on its own (this applies to most live stock and certain people).

But who really expects animals to be smart or do we eat them because they are dumb. Uncle Goober is often referred to as dumb as a cow. But nobody would consider eating him (But that could because he doesn't bathe). And let's not forget pigs. Pigs are supposed to be smarter than dogs. And we don't eat dogs. Well, not in this country.

I don't begrudge folks who eats cows. Heck, I serve it too my kids and spouse. Which is kinda weird if you think about it. I don't eat it, yet I'm serving it up. humm...

Honestly, I would be kicked out of any vegetarian society. Sometimes I eat chicken and fish and foods made with animal shortening (Ritz crackers!) and I won't deny that on occasion the smell of a steak sizzling on the grill can send me into spasms of gustatory desire.

But, darn it, they are so cute!

In honor of the lowly cow, I have found these to share.
