Home from work and I’m miserable. Somehow I was able to get through the whole day without my nose dripping too much, though I did fall into a coughing fit on the van trip to Houston this morning.
Went with my colleagues to a museum meeting in Houston. The theme of the talk today was about social marketing, you know, Facebook and Twitter? Most of the info presented was stuff I already knew, but it was great to have someone who makes his living doing this, reaffirm my convictions on so much. I gleaned a little unknown information from the talk, too, so it wasn’t all ‘been there- done that’, so to speak. Interesting and informative…
And lunch at Lankford’s was great although my stomach is probably going to have a different side of the story! WOWZA! That hot sauce from the video (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you need to scroll down and watch the video from yesterday’s post) is HOT!!!!
So now I’m home. The two D’s are somewhere out in the wild gray yonder, and I’m home in the quiet house alone. Which I have decided I don’t like. Well, for the time being. Being a creature that is never satisfied, of course that means that I want quiet time when I cannot have it, and vice versa. So it is quiet and serene and I am wondering when they’ll come home and liven up this joint!!
Oh yes, by the way. I did call it the ‘wild gray yonder’ because, well- it’s gray outside. Gray, gloomy, humid, and cold. Not fun.
And my nose is running.
And my eyes are watering.
And I keep coughing.

Did you watch the Grammy’s last night? We saw our buddy Juanes presenting, did you see him? Have you read my post from last month when he visited us here at the ranch? Yep, that was him. Other highlights from the Grammy Awards included Lady Gaga’s strange ensemble that looked like a aluminum foil paper maiche torpedo, and the return of Eminem. Ha- bet you didn’t know that I am an Eminem fan, did you? MICHIGAN, baby!
No, but seriously… why couldn’t Lil’ Wayne get a lil’bit smaller pants and KEEP THEM AROUND HIS WAIST? Yes son, that is why they produce belts…. geez, I could not stop thinking about the wildly popular “Pants on the Ground” guy from American Idol. Ridiculous. I would love to be able to understand the minds of these young people who think that it is somehow attractive to wear your pants UNDER your derriere. Don’t you know that you look absolutely ridiculous and that people will lose any respect they might have had for you by seeing your disheveled appearance? And to think you TRIED to look that bad!
I am reading Maya Angelou’s latest book: Letter to My Daughter. It is very, very interesting. On page 38, Ms. Angelou talks about the speaking the truth and says: “Let us bravely say to our young women, “That raggedy hairstyle may be trendy, but it is also unattractive. It is not doing anything for you”. And let us say to our young men, “Your shirt-tails hanging out from under your jacket does not make you look cool, it just makes you look unkempt and uncared for”. Taking a cue from Ms. Maya Angelou, let me tell Lil’ Wayne something truthful: your pants hanging under your butt, showing the world your boxers on national television is not attractive. It is not cool. You look unkempt, uncared for, and extremely foolish.
Phew! I have been keeping that pent up all day and I feel decidedly better after having got it off of my chest.
(breathing a heavy sigh of relief)
