Dinner Theater

By Jimmy Johnson


I read somewhere that a messy desk is a sign of intelligence. The article did not say a sign of how much intelligence! It can’t be much. I sit here and look at the piles of debris on every vertical surface in my office, and it doesn’t make me feel very smart. Speaking of smart, you don’t have to be Einstein to figure out that I’m distracted this morning and am looking no further than my elbows for inspiration. We’ll have some things to talk about later this week, though. Let’s all just try to get through today.

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    Just woke up again. Most of my friends are stunned and in shock. I had no idea I had so many libertarian friends but then I had no idea how many Unitarian Universalist I knew too. I guess we aren’t evangelicals?

    My memory is that a messy desk is a sign of a *creative* mind … and the current evidence supports that statement.

    My first clue to the outcome of the election was the tone of the reporters’ voices on the radio when I got out of orchestra rehearsal. You’d think someone had died or a war had broken out!

    I am awfully disappointed. However, we will pick up the pieces and go on. It will be interesting to see how events unfold now.

    My not posting much has been more of a keyboard issue, also my slow typing. The computer stuff is co-operating more now; I feel that I’m getting the upper hand at last!
