Non Sequitur by Wiley is in most daily newspapers. It is a comic strip, with no logic? or much logic?
It is a delight!
Most of us read the newspaper online, as do we, except for Thursday and Sunday. I just needed to smell and feel the newspaper, I could not go cold turkey. I know, often I am last in line for the best green footprint, but Iam working on it.
On Thursday, March 14th, here is the dialog from this strip, that made me happy smile.
Child- It's March Now, ( I love how they use caps!!) ( All stuff inside these marks are mine) And March Means Spring, So Why Do We Still Have Snow Out There?? ( I know we don't have snow, but its still in my frozen heart!)
Dad- "Sigh" ( no surprise)
Dad- First Of All, The Arrival Of Spring Is Over A Week Away. Second The Weather Isn't Dictated By The Calendar.
Child- ?????????? ( Thinking bubble)
Child- I Don't Want Science!! I Want My Desired Results!!! ( Best line ever)
Dad- PLEASE....Let's Keep Politics And Religion Out Of This.
I just want my desired results, that is not a hard concept, is it?
We all do, to some point. Some just have a sharper point! and no eraser!!
All in all March, is still hanging low, windy and damp, with a ray of sunshine and hope breaking through from time to time. The best part is that Iam still here to enjoy it.
My Hubs, Dr. Bill aka Sheldon, Bob Newhart, and Lassie( this is a compliment, people) is off on his spring break this week. We have painters in the house, so its a working spring break, so to speak. We have daily errand runs, that have caused me to double over in laughter.
Bill does most of the grocery shopping, After me being in charge for so long, I released the reins. ( I know, hard to believe) Each time he comes home with what is on the list, no list, no groceries. I continually ask him, to think outside the box, and look around for new things, and it is just not going to happen. Or so I thought.
He comes in this week, with an empty box, of a chocolate Easter Cross! I ask him, "Were you hungry and who buys a chocolate cross?" He said, " It was small." I paused, " What does size have to do with it?" " I have never even seen a chocolate cross, do they have them with Jesus on the cross too?" He said, " I would have eaten that too." I am just standing there holding the empty box, hysterical laughing, " Bill this is just not normal, its even bad chocolate, did you not see a snickers or milky way bar?" the end...
Then we? decide to go to Home Depot, for something? Not a trip I often make, but its his spring break, I want to be nice. We get there, with a spring in our step, and I say, " I am going to see cleaning supplies!" He says, " Bonnie, that is not normal, who goes to the cleaning supply isle in the Depot?"
I smiled, I got the not normal remark, then I replied, " I like to get my cleaning people new stuff, its my job to make people happy! and I will meet you in lighting!!" He knows, because I like to look at lamps, and chandeliers!
My desired results, you have to let each other be a little off center, live life full tilt. Marry a scientist and continue to be an artist.
May the March winds be forever in your favor.
