One A Day Multiple Foolishness

I have a friend who has a wife (she is also a friend) who once cooked a different recipe for dinner every night for the 365 days in that year.

 

I have enough blog ideas already written to post one every day of 2018.

 

I am using this Blog Posting to tell you not to worry. I’m not going to do that.

 

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: I might have taken on this Herculean Task but I already missed January 1st. I was too busy yesterday making up a list of excuses why the Georgia Bulldogs were going to lose last night to the Oklahoma Sooners. Smile

An Old Serious Issue Is Still An Important Serious Issue If It Is Still An Issue

I hate the Scroll

Several years ago I took note of an Issue that I thought was important. I put it into a folder on my computer entitled, My Email “Wisdom” and promptly forgot about it.

 

For those of you who object to my calling my own Mind Wandering “Wisdom”, find something else you object to about me because I put the word “Wisdom” in quotation marks which, of course, means I acknowledge that my Wisdom may not be grounded in Intellectually Defensible Thought…Or is it?

 

I’m going to move on now because these first two paragraphs have confused me.

------------------------

This “Wisdom” started wandering through my mind as I was watching our president (it does not make any difference which president) was making a very serious speech in London, England.

 

During the entirety of his important speech (on CNN) that Infernal Scroll was scrolling across the bottom of the screen.

 

Is the serious speech important or not? If it is important, why is other information constantly being passed before our eyes? It is really hard to stay fixated on what is being said while the scroll is doing its best to distract our attention.

 

I would agree that a scroll is serving a useful purpose if it is giving us other more important information like…

Ø An atomic bomb has just destroyed Toledo.

Ø Jennifer and Chuck have just called it quits.

Ø No one left alive after an earthquake destroys Denver.

 

I was trying to not look at the scroll but, at one point while I was being distracted, I thought to myself...

Is it really necessary to scroll before me “Happy Birthday Larry King and Ted Turner” while the President is trying to convey serious information about important stuff?

 

It is time for me to swear. I made up the information about Toledo, Jennifer and Chuck and Denver but I swear I actually saw “Happy Birthday Larry King and Ted Turner” pass before my disbelieving eyes.

 

Would I kid u?
