07/07/07

I have, up to this point, gone through my life blissfully unaware of the date. I don't know what it is, but I've never been able to know the date, with a few exceptions, without looking at a calendar. (DG is fond of quoting Einstein who, when asked his home phone number, said he had to look it up. He explained he never cluttered his memory with information he could easily find.) Anywho... it wasn't until I started surfing this AM that I ran into stories about people getting married and engaging in other dangerous pursuits today because it was "lucky." Lucky... I read that and thought I heard the entire cosmos ring out with one voice the word "SUCK-ERS". I don't know about you, but I intend to stay in the house all day, where it's safe and sound and I am less likely to run afoul of the universe's notoriously sick sense of humor.

  2. "run afoul of the universe's notoriously sick sense of humor."

    This maybe a good time to grab a nice mead and hug a tree all day.

    Might I suggest a nice Box Elder or an Elm.

  3. Elm!!!!! You want me to catch some sort of disease or something! (Or hasn't Dutch Elm Disease crossed the Rockies yet?)

  4. Just what I need, a tree hugger in the family. You know what kind of birds nest in those things. Cut down all the trees!

  5. No Dutch Elm here. I find my Box Elder to be very nice. The Squirrels really like the Box Elder to play in.

    TR, there is a big difference between a "tree hugger" and a Druid "tree hugger". One is a Earth muffin and one is not.

  6. My Druid ancestors would understand that one. WH was afraid when we vistited Stone Henge that some ancient family curse might turn him into a toad or something. No ill effects, he is still a fuzzy forest creature.
