Friday Funnies

Hi,
The next three weeks could be titled, "Coming To America". Whether you've seen the movie or not, this is definitely not "Adventures In Thailand". There are some parallels to the movie, in that we are leaving behind a life of relative leisure and pampering, thought we never got the rose petals at our feet. You will watch, with voyeuristic fascination, as we relearn to wash and iron our clothes, cook light meals, and generally clean up after ourselves. (5)
Brrr, it's cold in L.A. I've gone from T-shirts to thermals. Sandals to socks. Our night time temps were warmer than the daytime highs here. Hmm.
You must all be our chasing the sales, playing Santa and not reading your mail, or you would have noticed the hit by
Sonny and Cher titled "Baby, Don't Go". What can I say? It was a big one, back in the day.
" __ __, I want a yacht, And really that's not a lot, Been an angel all year,__ __, so hurry down the chimney tonight." Hint: This is a holiday standard that doesn't get a lot to play. A seductive 'letter to Santa' by an earthy singer. Oh, you just got a present.
I'm coming to you this morning, and every morning for the next three weeks, from our amazingly beautiful garage apartment at 'The Kids'. Jeff and Anna have created a thing of beauty that took my breath away. I will be putting some photos on Flickr so you can see what the fuss is all about. Words don't come easy. We have a kitchenette, a living/sleeping area and a bathroom with a tub and shower. Oh, and every faucet produces hot water. There's a skylight over the tub and another over the bed. The one over the bed has adjustable blinds so we can vary the degree of light. Anna is an artist and while her dominant medium is human hair, she shines as a decorator. There are little touches that not only show attention to detail and convenience, but a lot of love.
When we arrived at the house, there were notes to each of us on the side door to the main house. August had to go to bed before we got there, so he left notes, welcoming us home. He also left one on the door to our new apartment. I'll put them on the site as well.
Monday, I'll try and recap the mad 24 hours we spent getting here. Well, all of it wasn't mad, just part, but it's a good story.
It's time for the 'Funnies'. Have a Happy Holiday WeekEnd.

Peace,
Danny

An 8-year-old girl went to her dad, who was working in the yard. She
asked him, "Daddy, what is sex?" The father was surprised that she
would ask such a question, but decides that if she is old enough to
ask the question, then she is old enough to get a straight answer. He
proceeded to tell her all about the "birds and the bees." When he
finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him with her mouth
hanging open. The father asked her, "Why did you ask this question?"
The little girl replied, "Mom told me to tell you that dinner would be
ready in just a couple of secs."
