I recently attended a family reunion. And while I have a dozen cousins, there was only one present. Sad.

FOX News. Just The News, No Spin.
I have changed to FOX News. I have gotten sick and tired of listening to the other news networks and their spin. I want to be given the news and not be told what to think.

Grave Robbing.
Every summer, I hear reports of people putting floral arrangements on a grave only to discover later that their arrangements have been moved to another grave. I guess this happens when you love someone enough to steal for them but not enough to provide your own floral arrangement.
Golden Handcuffs.
When I first started working for the State of Michigan, the pay was below industry standards but the benefits were great. Unfortunately, you needed to work there for 10 years before you would be fully vested in their pension program. And of course, after 10 years you were pretty much established and were inclined to stay.
But, about 20 years ago, the State eliminated the pension in favor of a 401K. This meant that new hires could take their money and run when ever they felt like it. So instead of having a career job, the State became a place where people worked until they could find something better. As a result, prime employee moved on to better jobs and the seconds remained at the State. Thus the expression “Good enough for government work.”
Why Have A CAT Scan Machine When You Can Have A Grand Piano.
I have noticed that more and more hospitals are putting grand pianos in their lobbies. So, I am never sure if I am in a hospital lobby or a hotel lobby.
Pizza Tracker.
A pizza chain has now come out with a pizza tracker app for your smart phone. I guess if it takes that long for your pizza to be delivered maybe you should try a different pizza place.
Back To School.
The back to school sales have started already. And Christmas is just around the corner.

Christmas In July.
Some TV networks are now showing reruns of their Christmas programs under the guise of “Christmas in July”. Seasonal programs have always presented a problem for the networks since they only get to run them once a year. But, by declaring “Christmas in July”, the networks can now run their whole Christmas programs a second time. I wonder if they will have a “Thanksgiving in June”?
