The feasting is done,
The leftovers diminished.
What’s for sandwiches
When the turkey’s finished?

We send mixed signals
Why is “smart” used as a negative word when the oft-stated ambition is to send your kids to college?
“You think you’re so smart” and “smarty pants” are spoken in a negative, often sarcastic tone. Why, I wonder? If being smart is so bad, why the rush for college? Or are college grads supposed to be as stupid when they come out as they went in? (and do I really want an answer to that last?)
Doin It Rong
When doing it wrong comes out… well, not what I wanted, but certainly interesting. Dusk, trying to get pics of the leaves before the first snowfall. Camera wanted a tripod I didn’t have. I took the shots anyway.
