About an hour ago, I heard a car coming down the driveway. This doesn’t happen very often, so I peeked out the window to see, guessing it was probably some lost person asking for directions. But no, it was an Animal Control Officer with cages in the back of his truck.
My first thought was… "Crap… what did Soren get into now?" But then I remembered I never let him outside by himself, and Berkeley is always on his leash… so there was nothing to fear.

I have in the past wondered exactly how I control my arm and leg movements (or most other muscles) to perform particular tasks like walking or writing. After much meditation and practice, if I really concentrate, I can almost direct/sense each individual muscle in my forearm, wrist and hand to do even the simplest of things… like picking up a beer bottle.
But tonight I had to pee and thought about how exactly do I do it. Unzipping my pants and aiming… that part was pretty easy. But as I stood there trying to figure out all the muscles involved in opening my urethra to allow the urine to flow freely… all of a sudden it just happened. I don’t know how I did it.
I’m amazing. Peeing is an amazing feat.
So I thought I’d just ramble for a bit, as I’m sitting here at my <a href="http://www.metaphysx.com/modules.php?set_albumName=TheCozy&id=0807_5&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php target="_new">home-bar thinking about… well… nothing in particular.

And that "Tampax" commercial where the chick stops up the leak in the boat with a tampon…
Need I say more?
I have very few memories of my childhood. I have no idea why… I just don’t remember much. Maybe that’s normal. I don’t know.
But I do remember some of the games my little brother and I would play when we were kids. Sometimes we’d get on our bikes and play "CHiPs", riding around catching the bad guys. Sometimes we’d play "vet" and gather all our animal toys and lock them in their cages (kitchen cabinets) while we operated on others. (Aside to Doug - Remember that melted rubber alligator Mom found in the oven that time… the one that ended up on the roof? haha!)
I also remember sneaking into Mom’s car when she was napping. We’d roll down the windows and climb in ‘the hard way’, just like the Duke boys did. I was always Bo. He was Luke. We were the Dukes of Hazzard and Mom’s old, red Chevy Caprice Classic was the General Lee. I remember ol’ Roscoe P. Coltrane chasing us. We would try to call Uncle Jesse on the C.B…. "Lost sheep to Shepherd", but no answer. Then we’d try calling Daisy, "Lost Sheep to Bo Peep"… but still no answer. Finally, we’d narrowly escape Roscoe and Boss Hogg by jumping over the river yelling "Yeeeee Haaawww!"
Those were the days.

As always, I’m afraid to say anything too specific. I had a good meeting with the boss and HIS boss. I guess I can say I left work today in a positive mood. How’s that?
The ‘Boogie’ is this weekend. Lynard Skynard is playing. I’m kinda’ sad.

It appears that Kyle, in another black-out, has killed Jordan Collier.
But why? And why Kyle?
I’m watching "Get Shorty" with John Travolta (Scientologist). Just now Gene Hackman was startled and while his lips said something else, the dubbed-over words I heard were "Judas Priest!" That’s dumb, and now I’m missing the movie because I can’t get the idiocy of it out of my mind.
And then there’s Hufu. I think it’s hilarious. My colleagues at work don’t. They find it ‘disturbing’.

I was watching "The 4400" on USA today when I saw several commercials having to do with Independence Day and ‘the 4th of July’. That got me thinking and I decided look up a few things I think are interesting about how America works.
First, did you know that Congress voted and agreed (12-0, NY abstained) upon moving toward independence on July 2, 1776? John Adams wrote his wife on the 3rd saying, "The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival." He was close.
