Patriotism makes you feel proud to see someone who knows how to salute when the flag passes by or when the national anthem is played!

Lizard birth

Posted on July 3, 2008 by Brian Gallimore

Just after dinner one night, my son came up to tell me there was ‘something wrong’ with one of the two lizards he holds prisoner in his room.

‘He’s just lying there looking sick,’ he told me. ‘I’m serious, Dad. Can you help?’

I put my best lizard-healer expression on my face and followed him into his bedroom. One of the little lizards was indeed lying on his back, looking stressed. I immediately knew what to do.

‘Honey,’ I called, ‘come look at the lizard!’

‘Oh, my gosh!’ my wife exclaimed. ‘She’s having babies.’

‘What?’ my son demanded. ‘But their names are Bert and Ernie, Mom!’

I was equally outraged.

‘Hey, how can that be? I thought we said we didn’t want them to reproduce,’ I said accusingly to my wife.

How it all began

Posted on July 3, 2008 by Brian Gallimore

In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she had been called Amazon Dot Com.

She said unto Abraham, her husband, “Why doth thou travel far from town to town with thy goods when thou can trade without ever leaving thy tent?” And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, “How, Dear?”

And Dot replied, “I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale and they will reply telling you which hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah’s Pony Stable (UPS).”

Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. The drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever moving from his tent. But this success did arouse envy.

Maybe he will advance to more sophisticated instruments, like the tuba.

Start! Walking Program

Posted on July 1, 2008 by Brian Gallimore

I saw a little blurb on the morning news about this program that has groups of people walking at work. I figured it was a good idea: provides much-needed daily exercise, and gives you a good excuse to leave your desk and talk to your buddies once a day. The boss man thought it was a good idea, so I send off to the American Heart Association to get their information packet on it. Instead of just sending something in the mail, their marketing person came out to talk to me in person and gave me lots of good information.

This morning was our inaugural walk. We went 220 steps down to the basement, and then back up to the 10th floor. I was surprised I made it… my legs were on fire when we finished. I’m sure I’ll get better at it after a few days. Soon I hope to go all the way from the basement to the 23rd floor and back down. AHA set up a special website to track your exercise, set goals, compare team members, etc.

I recommend trying to get involved in this wherever you work. I’m hoping the group will keep me interested and encouraged to be a little more active.

Trimming Trees

Posted on June 29, 2008 by Brian Gallimore

I didn’t intend on trimming the trees today, but I had the pruners in my hand, walking around the yard taking care of a few branches on the plum tree that were hitting the house. I remembered being annoyed by the low branches on the two trees in front, so I started looking at them with more attention. Before I knew it I had a ladder, loppers, and saw in use and had piles of branches everywhere. I even sweet-talked Amber into helping. She showed me up by climbing in the tree.
