Various Things About Nothing

I was looking at photos my wife took of me
the first couple of days we were in the Bahamas.
Let me say this
I rock the farmers tan
^
I know two fellow employees
one is named George Charles
and the other is named Charles George.
For the life of me
I can't help but call George, Charles
and Charles, George.
^
My big tough tugboat Captain requested
a cake to be made.
When asked what kind he would like
he answered in his big tough tug boat Captain voice
Funfetti.
I found that hilarious.
^
50 % of the tug crew and
100% of my family members
are bummed out tonight.
True Blood is a repeat.
My mood, on the other hand
has not been affected at all
by this unexpected turn of events.
I just don't get it.
^
First there was 'The deadliest Catch"
And then "Whale Wars"
Now there is a show called
"Blood Dolphin"
where dolphin are shown getting killed
as they are trapped and helpless by the hundreds.
I won't be tuning in.
What's next?
A show about killing kittens?
Give me a break.
^
I sat on the stern tonight
watching the sunset with a cup of coffee.
Decaf.
It's just not the same.

LOL.. these are great!

And.. the true blood thing... yeah I don't get it either. We might be the only two on the planet with this apparent affliction...or perhaps the lack of it.

Given the choice I would totally be chillin' with you vs. the titles offered up!
Never heard of a single one but now that I have I will be sure to steer clear!
Love the funfetti story. Hilarious!

Killing Dolphins??? How sick is that? I mean, seriously???!!! I don't watch True Blood either...but I loved the books! Just couldn't get into the show! Not the same! Sigh!
I think decaf lacks taste as well as punch!! Ha!

Love it...funfetti coming out of a man voice would crack me up! I agree the TV shows on are ridiculous. Hope you have a wonderful labor day!

Thanks for brightening my day again,Mark! Love you big tough guys and your soft hearts!

BUT -- killing dolphins? I've watched bits and pieces of Whale Wars but seeing blood in the water just chills me.

Mark, your writing is as good as your photography. I like the way you can inject a couple of serious notes into a very humorous piece of writing...without losing a beat... I especially like the beginning and the end of the writing... nicely balanced. Do more.
