Good Morning All,
Happy Groundhog Day! And Happy African American History Month! And Happy American Heart Month! (Wow, this is a pretty “Happy” month, ain’t it?) I also found out that February is National Snack Food Month, Canned Food Month, Responsible Pet Owner Month and Return Shopping Carts to the Supermarket Month. Now, come on. Are you serious? There is really a month to observe the practice of returning carts to the supermarket. It seems like somebody has a little too much time on their hands to come up with that. Maybe I should submit my own petition for a monthly observance. How about National Take Friday Off Month? Every Friday in the month of July, everyone takes the day off to spend time with your family or go on vacation or whatever. But like the MLK holiday, I know that all employers would not support my petition. Actually, I don’t think any of them would. Unless I changed it to National I Wish I Could Take Friday Off Month. But that’s no fun because I still have to go to work. Oh well, it sounded like a good idea at the beginning….
Moving on, in times of sadness and disappointment, there’s nothing like a warm, comforting hug to make you feel better. Hugs are very therapeutic and offer many benefits. They can reduce your heart rate, lower your blood pressure, and put you in a better mood. Now if only hugs had the power to make people stop and think twice before doing something stupid or acting a fool, we would have the perfect remedy to many of the world’s problems. And I would suggest that we implement two different types of hugs: Type 1 is the warm, comforting hug that I mentioned earlier. This type would be used to quiet crying babies, calm injured puppies and console the Arizona Cardinals following their Superbowl loss. Type 2 is the “What Were You Thinking?” rib-crushing, bear hug similar to the ones given by Roger & Dee’s mother on “What’s Happening” where they could hardly breathe. This one would be perfect for people like former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, Flavor Flav, and many of those who auditioned for American Idol but didn’t make it to Hollywood because they really COULDN’T SING! Anyway, find someone to give a hug to this week. Because when you GIVE a hug, you GET one in return. And if anyone happens to run into Hill Harper, please let him know that I have one for him.
I really enjoyed some of the Superbowl commercials from last night. My favorite was the talking babies for E*Trade. I just can’t get over how articulate and intelligent they are. And the camera just LOVES them. With their surprising grasp on the state of the economy, I think they would make a great addition to President Obama’s cabinet. The only problem is, the new Treasury Secretary would have to rearrange his schedule to work around theirs. Ah, the busy lives of talking babies - mid afternoon naps, diaper changes and play dates.
Finally, birthday wishes go out to Tiffany L. who celebrated on yesterday.
Ok y’all, enjoy the funnies and have a blessed week!
