so, i'm down here in brick for the weekend.... trying to pack stuff up and get the room to rights before moving in ... tonight though, kerry and i are heading to a blue claws game (lawn seats $5.00... can't beat that) - been meaning to see a game there - it's pretty close to mom's
in the meantime, beri (my yorkie) is eating and seems to be only a little mopey every so often, other than that, she's pretty smiley...
so, i will leave you with a joke that ties in with the theme of the week...
An 8-year-old boy was at the corner grocery store picking out a box of laundry detergent. The grocer walked over, and, trying to be friendly, asked the boy if he had a lot of laundry to do.
"Oh, no laundry," the boy said, "I'm going to wash my dog."
"But you shouldn't use this to wash your dog. It's very powerful and if you wash your dog in this, he'll get sick. In fact, it might even kill him."
But the boy couldn't be stopped, and he carried the detergent to the counter and paid for it, even as the grocer still tried to talk him out of washing his dog.
About a week later, the boy was back in the store to buy some candy. The grocer asked the boy how his dog was doing.
"Oh, he died," the boy said.
The grocer, trying not to be an "I told you so," said he was sorry the dog died but added, "I tried to tell you not to use that detergent on your dog."
"Well," the boy replied, "I don't think it was the detergent that killed him."
"Oh? What was it then?"
"I think it was the spin cycle!"
