The Important Stuff

Two things that I noticed on the internet tube recently.

First, Jimmy Fallon's daughter lost her tooth! Can anything be more important than that? Luckily, she was able to let everyone know about this important event on the TV machine. And as we all know, the Tooth Fairy is considered an essential worker. So no worries there.

Second, it was Zach Braff's birthday and I missed it, but it's not like he is the captain of a starship or anything like that. I can't remember everyone's birthday. But now that I have mentioned it, well, Happy Birthday Zach.

And there was a great photo to celebrate his birthday. It had everything a happy photo should have. There was Zach and his dog, both taking a nap. (Dogs are better at this than humans. It's kind of their thing.) A nice gentle rain is falling in the background on a variety of trees including one bonsai tree. Beautiful pale yellow daylilies grace the front left side of the photo. Soft blue cushions on the couch just melt your cares away.

Two things. So happy. So calm.

Hang in there everyone.

Good and Pawlenty

As you all know, Stephen is out to sea. So, I'll fill in with tidbits of this and that while he is out of the studio.

This was funny. On the day that Tim Pawlenty, former Governor of Minnesota, finally came out of the "running for president" closet, one of the home town papers, the Star Tribune had this cartoon by Steve Sack.

The thing is, that's one of my favorite candy choices. Good and Plenty candies are pink and white candy-coated licorice. Sweet on the outside, chewy on the inside.

Anyway, the No-Doz reference is hinting at (quite pointedly) that you need something to keep you from falling asleep when listening to Tim Pawlenty.

Some of you may remember that Michele Bachmann, Congresswoman from Minnesota, is also thinking about running for president, but she's waiting until all the "signs" are right before she decides.

So, for Minnesotans, this could be awkward. Perhaps it will end up being just like the Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat.
