Friday Funnies

Hi,
After our 'working vacation' it was only fitting that we spend a quiet day at the Big Brown House. We were awakened way too early by BamBam, who came to our door and escalated her greeting by banging on the door. We ignored her and she finally went away.
My hat is off to all of you who remembered "25 Or 6 To 4" by Chicago. Christopher did a little research and came up with this:
"Chicago fans have long argued about the meaning of the song. When it was released, there was speculation that the lyrics were drug-related; but the same thing was said about many songs in the late 1960s and early 1970s and the rumor has been largely dismissed. Lamm himself says that the title is "just a reference to the time of day," and that "the song is about writing a song. It's not mystical. "The time of day in reference is 3:35 AM (or 3:34 AM), which would then be 25 (or 26) minutes to 4 AM. Lamm was not above perpetuating the mythology of the song, though. In one interview, he referred to the song title as "a cricket score."
The source was Wikipedia. Now you know. For the weekend we're going to do an easy one. The year was '78 and this group recorded a great number of the hits. "Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man, no time to talk..." Hints: A fever started on a Saturday night and went on and on. Three brothers from across the pond.
The big excitement for the day was BamBam getting a bath. She may be getting used to the routine, but after it's over, she still goes a little crazy. She runs around the yard, rolls around on the grass and generally acts like a kid. Oh yeah, she is a kid. We've all learned to stay out of her way after the cone collar is put on. (she has to wear it for three hours) The banging and bruising is not cute anymore. She makes her adjustments so she can pick up her toys and usually relaxes after a bit. Today she came upstairs and finally fell asleep with the cone resting on the bottom shelf of a table.
We went out in the afternoon for a Big C run. The place was jam packed since it was a national holiday for the King's birthday and many people were off work. I still find the place fascinating. Today there seemed to be lots of little kids. Some were running around, some in carts, all with big friendly smiles. At the same time it was also a little claustrophobic. As we approached the row of check stands we were greeted by a young woman who led us to an open spot. That's what I call service. On the way home we stopped by the bakery for fresh bread.
Tomorrow we're having Jen and her three son's over for dinner. We haven't done this in awhile and we look forward to hearing about her trip to America. She went there to visit her oldest son who is an engineer. She got stranded in Japan due to the airport closure. Should be an interesting evening.
Now it's time for the 'Funnies'. Have a Great WeekEnd.

Peace,
Danny

The Other Side
A brunette is trying to get across a river and suddenly she spots a blonde on the other side. She yells over to the blonde "Hey, excuse me! How do I get over to the other side?" And after a quick survey of the river, the blonde calls back "You ARE on the other side!"
