One thing about getting old, you don’t have to fret about avoiding temptation; it'll avoid you.

Some days it’s really easy to say a bunch of nuthin’…sort’a let my fingers do the talking…surprise m’self sometimes with what comes out….

Have you ever wondered what kind of mess you could make if you poured six cups of water into your drip coffeemaker, added filter ’n coffee, ’n turned the thing on without noticing that there was NO coffee pot on the burner?  No?  Not dumb enuff?

That’s pre-zackly what I did this AM…I think maybe c’uz I’m up too durn early, I should probably go back to bed for another two hours ’n ask for a do-over…

As a general rule, life don’t give do-overs….’specially not with dumb mistakes… 

I hear a lot of people say if they only knew then what they know now, they wouldn’t a’made such a damn silly choice…’course, they wouldn’t….nobody ‘ud make a damn silly mistake if they’d only known in advance how things was gonna turn out…..the Japs wouldn’t have bombed Pearl Harbor when they did…Hitler would’a finished England before turning on Russia…Heck! Napoleon prob’ly wouldn’t have gone into Russia at all if he’d only had a clue….and imagine all those people that signed up to have that first ride on the Titanic…bet your butt they would’a waited…

On the other hand, what if you'd been there when Apple 'n Microsoft were still in their garages looking for funding...which dream casually overlooks the fact that you prob'ly wouldn't'a had any money then either... 

All of which has nuthin’ at all t’do with a floor full of coffee at a few minutes past 7 on a Friday morning ’n nobody less interested than two little dogs that are anxious to get started on their morning S&P tour…..
