I Say It Best When I Say Nothing At All.....

Maybe I should blog on the days we buy milk. I need something as a reminder that it is time to blog again. If I were to blog on the days I go running, then you would never hear from me again. If I were to blog every time I think about Coralee, then I would be an irritant, because I would blog too often. I'll stick with the milk.

I sat down at the table with the rest of the family and published tidings of great joy of my excitement of eating this; and later that evening a steak that Coralee had planned for dinner. Everybody looked at me strangely. They all had a a good variety from all the food groups. "Nothing but meat, my friends....nothing but meat," I announced, "I may not survive the day after all of this. You wouldn't miss me much if I kicked the bucket, would you?" Nobody really disagreed with me. "No worries, Honey," I continued, looking fondly at Coralee, "I'm worth more dead than alive!" "The only problem," she said, "is that you're not worth enough...
