I got this in my fortune cookie at lunch today. Hmmh, I thought. Now I ask you dear reader do you think there is any chance in hell that I could be reserved? Ever? The exhortation’s Sisyphean effort not withstanding, this one is a non-starter.
Watch your relationships with other people carefully, be reserved.
Hah, I say. Hah.

Who you callin' a "sissyphean", Willis??
I think you can be reserved. You've certainly proven it in regards to the HObama comment in my blog.
BTW
I really look forward to John and Vicki's comments. They crack me up.
Just so you understand there are two ways almost any tale can be told, as it actually happened or the good way. In John’s case the fantastical fiction of life and reality kind of merge. He is a complete nut job. Alas, but so am I. Not as a direct result of this commonality there came a point where bruised and abused John and I found ourselves working together hearing cases. In our line of work there is a kind of darker type of caustic humor that you develop to sort of steel yourself from the wide array of human misery you encounter every day. In your duties as a nurse you too have acquired this trait I’ll bet. His humor albeit from the other side of the political spectrum from mine has always been rapier sharp. (No John this is not a sexual reference.) John is the kind of guy who if you tell him the most ribald and profane variation of the Aristocrats joke would lean back and say, “Now wait just a second, this is the way I heard it…” and would then proceed to take it to ear burning, synapses frying depravity. I love him for that.
Anyway you’re right. He cracks me up too.

P.S. John have I sucked up enough to you now? Huh, huh? Is all forgiven?
Is all WHAT forgiven? Calling my meek attempts at levity "caustic"?? Calling our (your, and my former) petitioners "miserable"? Or noting my poor fried synapses? (I prefer fried chicken, myself. As opposed to depraved synapses. Tho I suppose that fried synapses might be attractive to some....perhaps with a nice merlot??
Fava beans, we need fava beans Clarise.
I just KNEW you couldn't let that slide by.
Have a sweet weekend. Hope your wife is mending......as are you.
