Good times were had by all


Aisy and I traveled to the LA area to run a Parent's Support Group. Once finished working we hit Disneyland, a first for Aisy. Sunday we attempted to enjoy Venice but it was too windy so we shopped in Santa Monica and ate at the most expensive restaurant we could find. Spending over forty-eight hours with one person (especially when she's Aisy) brings out a lot of hilarity. Here are some of the best lines from our conversations of the weekend. I am not including context so... good luck. 
"Please don't let that be my personal hell." 
"If you can't joke in the airport, where can you joke?" 
"If you make it all about virginity, it's funnier."
"I don't want to meet that guy. He's got big ears and thinks he knows everything."
"You know, my face kind hurts."
"Those optical illusions get me every time."
"I'm affectioning myself."
"And we did see Cordon Bleu." "Corbin!"

Warning!


I bought a new curling iron and as I went through the packaging I was struck by this warning label: "CAUTION - THIS PRODUCT CAN BURN EYES." Who figured that out? Snap, talk about the school of hard knocks. And to whom would this not occur? Did the founder of this warning believe that iron can differentiate between hair and optical matter? Furthermore, does this warning imply that all other body parts are safe from the wrath of the iron?
Check out these other hilarious labels.
Shampoo for dogs -The contents of this bottle should not be fed to fish.
Shin guards - Pads cannot protect any part of the body they do not cover.
Electric rotary tool - This product not intended for use as a dental drill.
Battery - Battery may explore or leak. (It's a Dora battery apparently.)
Novelty rock garden - Eating rocks may lead to broken teeth.
Toilet bowl brush - Do not use orally.
Butcher knife - Please keep out of children. 
1 year-old's birthday card - Not suitable for children aged 36 months or less.
Deodorant - Do not use intimately. 
Rat poison - Has been fond to cause cancer in laboratory mice.
Manual for an SGI computer - Do not dangle the mouse by its cable or throw the mouse at coworkers.
On seal - Do not eat if seal is missing.
Wristwatch - Warning! This is not underwear! Do not attempt to put in pants.

It's a mad, mad world.

Thankful


Welcome Thanksgiving season. Research really does show that those who live gratefully are healthier and happier. I'd like to draw your attention to my playlist, specifically the song Thankful by my homeboy (like we tight or something) Josh Groban, off his Noel album. Give it a listen, read the lyrics below, and see if you don't feel thankful. 

Somedays we forget To look around us
Somedays we can't see The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves There's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find out truth It's so long overdue

So for tonight we pray for What we know can be
And everyday we hope for What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our difference
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each other's light

So for tonight we pray for What we know can be
And on this day we hope for What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more

There's so much to be thankful for.
