Blog Number 83

Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

Well I have missed my 2nd day blogging.  It is not my fault though.  My AT&T DSL was down from early yesterday morning until around 3 PM today.  When I called in to the help desk, the lady on the other end of the line seemed quite relieved that I was not upset.  Several times I would answer with a "That's OK" or "No Problem" and she thanked me with relief in her voice.  She must have had a bad day.  Odd that my simple words would relieve her stress even if it was a little bit.  So anyway, I have now missed 2 days blogging out of about 80 or so.

The other day I was thinking about naked mermaids riding bareback on white stallions.  Now, now, give me a minute here to explain,  Jeesh, you guys jump to the wrong conclusions so quickly!  Faithful reader, you should know by now that by the 3rd paragraph or so that I will make sense of it all.  You see, my daughter is a big fan of the Disney princesses.  She is also a fan of horses (as noted in a recent blog).  One of the princesses she has is Ariel from "The Little Mermaid."  She had de-clothed Ariel and mounted her on a white horse that my mother had recently purchased for her.  After she showed this to me, I had trouble explaining why I was laughing so hard.  She simply could not understand what I found so amusing.

I also mentioned in another recent blog that the wife and I were attended some Sunday night classes at our church about marriage enrichment.  One thing that popped up tonight was (from time to time) asking your spouse what he/she was thinking about.  My wife has learned long ago to avoid this question like the plague.  I only hope that none of my coworkers ask me this question tomorrow at work.

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
