Life is hard. We bow our head against the fierce wind battering our face. We want to give up.
If only we had a slogan to motivate us.
And here it is:

We’ve all done pointless, but difficult things. Perhaps it was completely filling in the “o”s i War and Peace. Perhaps it was balancing an egg. Perhaps it was balancing an egg on its pointy end. The skill and determination needed to bring these efforts to a success are truly worthy of our praise, if only they weren’t so useless.
But we don’t have a word to describe these utterly unimportant achievements.
It’s high time to correct this oversight.

The surest way to lose something is to misplace it. Then put something else on top of it You can’t see the thing you want to find because it’s covered. You don’t even know where to start looking as you weren’t paying attention when you put it down. Where did it go? The only way to find it is to clean house until you see it. If you discover it early in your cleaning then, hurray, you’ll have time for other projects. If however, you have to tidy up for hours, then you’ll gain a home that’s will sparkle with cleanliness. King Charles III will be proud to accept your invitation. It’s a win-win situation. But we don’t have a word to describe this process.

Whew! I almost forgot about blogging tonight as I was making Boston Brown Bread and watching Harvard Beats Yale 29-29.
Anyway, did any of you ever thoink the Beach Boys sang “ape” instead of “ace” in the song “Fun, Fun, Fun.” Didn’t it change the meaning of the song just a bit? You bet.
See what I mean? Quite honestly, I don’t see a second date in this man’s future.

All of us, every last one of us, all over the world, have had a sock disappear while doing laundry. Where did it go? And how? This event frustrates and baffles us. And until now there has been word to describe it.
It’s high time to correct this oversight.

Ancient Greek Hell (Hades) was a paler, grayer version of life on Earth. Everything was less substantial. Whereas on Earth, you could bench press 600 pounds, you’d be hard pressed to pick up a package from Amazon(tm). And my, its sky was perpetually overcast and gray, like a winter in Wisconsin or the Netherlands.
You wouldn’t like the Christian Hell of the Middle Ages either. Sure you felt much more energetic, but that was only so you acutely feel your skin bubbling from Hell’s intense fires.
So, both places suck.
But what if? What if you could merge the Greek hell with that Medieval hell? The temperatures would even out to a nice temperate temperature of say, 74 degrees. All the time. The Greek gray would be cancelled by the Hellish red of Middle Europe. This would certainly result in blue skies. It would. It would. You’d have Hell’s energy allied with Hades’ buff bods. What could be better than having a magnificent body on a lush, tropical island?
Club Hell(tm), people are dying to go there.
Greek hell and medieval Christian Hell yields Club Hell

We’ve all heard of productivity. We all know what it means. If we earned advanced degrees in economics or business, this concept enters our dreams in dark and mysterious ways nearly every night.
Strange to say, use of productivity’s opposite is virtually non-existent.

I’ve now blogged over 800 times in a row. I’ve never let anything stop me. Nothing. Not tummy aches. Not even inertia. But today a large herd of rather frustrated elephants stamped down my street. I barely outran them, Thank goodness, the pachyderms would pause to eat the peanuts I threw at them. I almost died! Oh my goodness! Exclamation points abound!!! If I had died, this blog would never been posted. The blogging streak would have ended. Being trampled to death, I wouldn’t have had the heart to start a new streak.
I know the cynics out there are saying, “Pish, you made this up, Paul. There are no stampeding elephants in Poway, my fair city, California.
Well look at the photo below.
Elephant stampede in Poway. Proof you cannot deny.
