No Zip in the Do Dah….
Hi- I’m feeling a little despondent about the whole human CON’dishun (as they say in Yorkshire) There was a news report yesterday basically saying everybody gets depressed in their middle years. Ya think? Apparently based on some long range study we simple humans are happiest when we are very young and very old. Well, when I’m not worried about going The Economy, the next Ice Age, bird flu and stuff like that, I can always ruminate on my personal demons: getting older, getting sick and <gulp!> dying. It’s just not an age conducive to making plans. I feel like the ball in the big pinball game of Life- being batted by the flippers. I have seen some happy older people though. My oldest sibling will be 70 this year, and she always seems to have a positive attitude.
Anyhow, whenever you’re down and out- hug your dog. You don’t have one? Then you should get a teddy bear. I found this nice video on youtube today. I love these coondogs. Remember, if you’re ever down South, don’t insult somebody’s mama, their truck or their hound dog! I don’t think the turtle was hurt by all the attention. I think they were just trying to let the boss know they’d found an interesting lifeform!
Enjoy!
