Rambling On

Who decided that eggs and bacon were the right foods for breakfast? When I was young, I ate cheeseburgers and french fries for many-a breakfast and that worked just fine for me.
If you've never seen the movie "Love Song For Bobby Long", then you should see it. It's on my top ten list of all-time favorites.
I wonder how the Jergens lotion people happened upon their original cherry-almond scent. I will always love that smell.
It's only a matter of time before every electronic device we own will be considered obsolete.
I think Ivana Trump was secretly high-fiving her lawyers when she found out that the Donald was having an affair with Marla Maples, because it gave her the grounds she needed to divorce him, get millions, and never ever have to look across the dinner table and see that stupid comb-over again.
If there's anything any better than a tuna salad sandwich made on really fresh bread, with potato chips on the side, I don't know what it is.
Having no money in college had its rewards. I didn't want to spend my limited food budget on cigarettes, so I never started smoking.
These days a lot of out-of-work business people do inventory in grocery stores at night after the stores close. It's a way to make money when you can't find any other job, and the only people who see you working there are the other people who are taking inventory. I personally don't see how they stay awake.
Easter is a month away. Why do the schools have their spring breaks so early? Wasn't the whole idea of spring break originally centered around Easter?
Remember when you bought a cup of ice cream after lunch in the school cafeteria (a privilege reserved for the people who acted okay during lunch), and you got to eat it with a small tongue depressor?
Growing old doesn't necessarily mean maturing, as evidenced by my train of thought at a recent funeral of a friend. When the minister invited the congregation to say aloud the names of loved ones who had passed away, so that they might be remembered in prayer, I listened as sane, caring adults sitting randomly throughout the church thought of relatives and friends and spoke their names aloud. But I had only one imbecilic thought floating through my head: Elvis Presley.

I too will always love the smell of Jergens. And it will always remind me of you.
