BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

But you don't say "it's not my fault." Ever.



Couldn't care less about car racing.
This article, however, turned out to be one of better lessons about politics I've ever read;
as well as the quickest at making a "GOOD" point!

Unscrewed!

"How many women does it take to change a light bulb?"  
I just had to tease Dr. R with this one. She was always fussing about Sam, her husband, her two boys, and me....men in general really.

"I give up. How many," she answers?

"Three!  One to screw the bulb in and two to form a support group!" 
I was laughing so hard; got her on that one!

"How many men does it take to change a light bulb?"  

Having stopped me laughing, she answers just before disappearing into an exam room, 
 "Three!  One to screw in the bulb and two to talk about the screwing!"

 You never would suspected her and her husband of  being pot smoking flower children in their younger days  had she not told  you herself. 

GOD I MISS WORKING WITH HER!
