Conundrum
Let’s say, hypothetically of course, that you send in an application to be on one of those reality make-over shows — one that takes a poor, style deficient schlub and through the use of a lot of “product,” new furniture, and fashion tips, turns him into a sophisticated member of society. Let’s say, hypothetically of course, that someone from the show calls you back and tells you to show up at a casting call, when you arrive to give them your name, and they will know who you are. The big question is do you show up to the casting call all schlub-like or moderately passable as a normal television “real person” type? Hypothetically, of course.
Fact of the Day
One female cat and one male cat and their offspring can result in
420,000 kittens in 7 years.

Fat Cats and Apples
The weather was very nice over the weekend, for the first time in a while. Bryan and Lyn were in town so the last few days have been packed with fun, just like a Fat Cat from the grease trucks is packed with food. Twelve hours after eating the “sandwich,” I am still in the penultimate stage of Fat Cat appreciation: Regret. In case you’re unfamiliar with the stages through which you progress before, during and after eating a Fat Cat, they are as follows: Disgust (How will I be able to eat such a thing?), Acceptance (I can eat it…), Enjoyment (… and it’s not too bad), Denial (I can’t believe I actually like it), Fear (I’m going to regret this later), Sickness (self-explanatory), Regret (I can’t believe I actually ate it), and Anticipation (When can we go again?).
Also enjoyable weekend snippets: Brats (the german sausage) with the Busches, Apples to Apples, M-D‘s birthday dinner at KC Prime (great restaurant) and lunch at Carlucci’s Grill (another great restaurant).
And I’m spent.
And by that I mean all of my money is spent. Between all the birthdays and all of the restaurants in the last month, it’s a good thing I have a bonus coming.
