1. Latest adventure? Going out with the Squashed Grapes crew to help harvest grapes in the middle of the night. Left the Grape at 11 pm and returned the next morning at around 10:30 am. In return I get a t-shirt that says, “Will Work for Wine”. Totally worth it!!
2. Funny vs. Snarky. I’d like to think I can be funny without being snarky, which is to say not poking fun at the expense of someone else.
3. I saw a Depends commercial where they are encouraging people to show off their Depends. I guess they’re trying to take away the stigma of wearing an adult diaper. Well good luck with that. I guess Depends will be cool once we see George Clooney in them.
4. For my bi-lingual friends: There is a band here in town that I had never ventured out to see until recently. They were into their third song when it hit me like a ton of bricks what the English translation for their band name, Sin Chonies, is. Brilliant!*
5. How true is this?
6. Is it just me or are the people who refer to Ventura as “Ventucky” a little redneck themselves? Okay, That was a little Snarky. True, but snarky. 😉
7. It always makes it that worse when a headline includes a dead dog. “Three People Including One Dog Found Dead Inside Crashed Car.”
8. Mob mentality is a real thing; and it’s scary. Just know this, you have the ability to rise above it. I entrust you to do so.
9. I wonder why people post cryptic messages on FB about who is a good person, or how great some of their friends are, or how messed up some people are, or how they only have a few good friends. The best one I saw recently was, “I got the best compliment ever!” That’s all she wrote. REALLY? I Un-friended her based on principle.

May you Rest in Peace Sir.

A Couple of Things... 
Pam, you have my most humble, forgiveness-seeking apology if it was me who touched a nerve using “snarky”. I hold you in far too high regard to ever think, much less say, anything about you that could be construed as negative. Snarky was obviously a poor choice of words in an attempt to be humorous.
Love you Steve! No, you had nothing whatsoever to do with that comment. It was a set up in my attempt to be funny about the Ventucky observation.
Trust me, being the “butt of a joke” is an honor when a true friend tells it. It’s not to belittle them, but to have true fun WITH them. I would never in a million years think you would do anything to harm me. I know you have my back, which is a true friendship. 🙂
