Afloat in romance…
Like the guy in this week’s comic, I sometimes have trouble reaching my destination. (I once ended up in Scotland by accident. No, I’m not kidding.)
With this in mind–to make sure that we actually went somewhere (without mishap) and celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in style–Shelagh bought us the most fool-proof vacation you can get: a cruise.
So last week we flew down to San Diego (without ending up in Scotland) and took a four-day cruise that included stops at Catalina Island (truly gorgeous) and Ensenada, Mexico (not as impressive unless you’re into shopping for silver jewelry or quasi-legal drugs–which I’m not.) Amazingly, no international incidents occurred–that can be traced to me–and we generally had a terrific time!

On the other hand, if you always lie then at least you’re dependable liar (or politician.) It’s when you only lie some of the time that people don’t trust you.

Filthy rich? Sounds good. But right now I think a lot of us would settle for something more modest.
Like being filthy able-to-afford-a-pizza-on-Saturday-night. Or maybe even just filthy able-to-pay-the-bills-without-hocking-Grandma’s-dentures.

Why I’m celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this year–with extra gusto:
Twenty-five years ago on St. Patrick’s Day, my wife went insane. Instead of screaming and running out of the church, she married me. So St. Pat’s Day is always a major event in our home. This year we’re celebrating a quarter century of Shelagh having a lapse in judgment and somehow being happily married to me. So far, so good

I’ve been looking for an excuse to use this comic for a long time and here it is. Lucky Friday the 13th. Let’s chase the gloom away with a disaster comic. If you can laugh about the economy, it’s not that bad, right? Sure…
