Good Morning Campers, 

Well, Mrs. Dragon is still sick.  Still doing poorly.  Still very weak.  BUT, I think she is a little bit better than she has been.  So, that’s a plus.  And that’s what I am holding on to.  I was supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but I sent an email to my boss and to my boss’s boss and told them that I was going to extend my leave and stay home and take care of Mrs. Dragon because I don’t think she is strong enough to take care of herself yet.  I hope that she will be by the end of the week.  She is still scaring the hell out of me.  So please continue with your prayers and good wishes.  They are deeply appreciated. 

Okay, enough about that, let’s move on to some happy thoughts and get Impish’s mind on other things.  

I definitely need one of those signs for my front door!

Okay, so that was cool.  Rookie Defense back Brandin Echols of the Philadelphia Eagles picks off a Tom Brady pass in Sunday’s loss and after the game he asked Tom Brady to sign the ball.  Some people are very understanding and some people are saying he needs to grow up.  Look, in my humble Dragon Opinion, he’s a rookie.  He’s a young kid.   He probably could have grown up watching Tom Brady on TV, could be one of his heroes, so to intercept one of his passes, man that’s like a dream come true!  And then to get one of his heroes signature, on the ball he actually intercepted?  Hell!  I’m a grown up and I don’t think I could resist that. So, the dragon says…give the kid a break!

And speaking of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, WTF is up with Antonio Brown?  I know he’s friggin’ crazy.  He’s already been in all kinds of trouble and caused all kinds of problems for his team, but how self-absorbed and self-centered do you have to be, to walk off the field in the middle of the third quarter, getting half undressed, throwing some of your clothing into the stands and then making a spectacle of yourself in the end zone?  Nobody seems to know why, but people are asking for understanding.  I guess if you want to throw away your very well paying career, then yeah…I can understand…no, I really can’t.  Anybody out there got anything at all?

Our border protection  works!  Here we have one of our border guards apprehending someone trying to illegally cross the border.  And before you get overly concerned about treatment, the dragon will be released back to it’s natural habitat unharmed by our border guard.

I think I know that guy!  I think I hired him  to do some yard work around the lair!  I don’t recommend him at all!  Very lazy.  Didn’t get anything done.

Happened in rehearsal today:  
Actor:  Line.  
Me:  No  
Actor:  Line, please?  
Me:  No  
Actor:  LINE.  PLEASE.  
Me:  YOUR LINE IS NO.

I wonder what the part of my brain that used to store people’s phone numbers is doing nowadays…

I’m not 100% sure, but I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the person who lives in this house has upset someone else…

Love is in the air…or chemical weapons…one or the other.

What’s the worst thing to step on in the dark?  

Someone else’s foot when you live alone…

Irony

A little too literal

“Be Berry, Berry Qwiet.  We’re hunting wabbits!”

Whenever I am with my family and someone says, “Wow, you have a beautiful family!” I always reply with, “Well, we left the ugly ones at home.”

Did You Know … 
Or…welcome to the world of completely useless information

As a guy who works for the government, I’d say, yeah, that’s a pretty good example.

And yet another good example of why men don’t live as long as women.

Have you ever listened to someone for a while and wondered…
“Who ties your shoelaces for you?”

Took me a while to decide whether or not I was going to use this one.  Some good photos and some not so good ones.  I guess you can be the judge.

That’s actually quite a concept…and probably quite true.  Which means it’s ultimately MY generations fault for not teaching OUR kids the right way.

And just think how much fun 2022 is going to be…

I just fired myself from cleaning my house.  I didn’t like my attitude and was taking too many coffee breaks!

New Year’s Resolution:
To become an expert in both cattle roping and iambic pentameter, in the hope of becoming the Poet Lariat.

 

Gently placing your finger on someone’s lips and saying, “Shhh, not another word…” is super romantic, but cops don’t seem to think so.

I have a major problem with only one word with this sign.

Gee, I can’t imagine what the code is…
And that’s it my friends.  As a last update, Mrs. Dragon is still doing quite poorly, but is a little bit better than yesterday, so there is that.  Please keep your thoughts and prayers going for her.  And may love and happiness follow you until we meet again.
