August Weather in July

I open the door
thick, hot, still air engulfs me
I can’t breath, help me

Idol-icious

We got a spontaneous invite to attend the Billy Idol concert last night. The tickets were discounted to ensure the theatre was full while they filmed the concert for a Billy Idol DVD.

I haven't been paying all that much attention to the music industry. I was pleased to see Billy Idol has been taking care of himself, unlike KC of KC and the Sunshine Band and several other older singers still touring.

Billy Idol has a hot body, loves to strip on stage, and strut around like a proud peacock. What more can you ask for from a performer?

My only question ... Where are all the gay rockers hiding?

Urban Cowboy Preacher

I exited a store on State Street and ran into a hot urban cowboy This wasn't your usual urban cowboy. He was carrying the American flag, and telling everyone "Jesus is the answer to salvation", while strolling down State Street on his horse.

Dirty Old Man

I made a couple of round pillows for our tv chairs. I kept returning home to find the pillows partially flattened and on the floor.

It was all a mystery till yesterday. I was relaxing on the couch and started to hear Sheleata Kanoftuna, our cat, purring in the most seductive manner. Curious, I poked my head over the top of the couch.

Sheleata had dragged the pillow from the chair to the floor. If that wasn't bad enough, he was on top of the pillow, using his front paws to gently massage it. Some would say, whatever, the cats just playing around.

I don't think so! While in the act of "massaging" the intensity of his seductive purring grew as his eyes glaze over. I felt dirty and ashamed to be watching this train wreck, yet I couldn't turn away.

After a short time, Sheleata stopped his "massaging", stepped off the pillow and walked away. I'm sure in pursuit of a cigarette.

Odd Hobbies

My mop has been out of control the last week. I wandered over to the local barber for snip after lunch. While my barber was working her magic, an elderly man carrying a clipboard entered the shop greeting everyone.

The gentleman sat across from me and pulled out a sketch pencil. He looked up and asked if he could draw my picture. I teetered between that deer in headlights expression and blurting out "that pick-up line won't work on me anymore".

Being the polite boy I am (most of the time), I responded with "sure, why not", secretly wondering if he will ask me home to see his collection of etchings.

Pooch Toot

We help to rescue the latest addition to the family, Buster. Although he has been a part of our zoo for a bit, some of his quirks still make laugh.

We have discovered, Buster is easily startled. This afternoon, while lounging next to me in his dog bed, the little 12 pound wonder lets out one hell of a loud fart. At the sound of his own fart, Buster jumped from his bed and chased his noisy butt for a few moments.
