In a conversation about concerts- music concerts, like Merle Haggard and such.
Disabled Guy: "I want to see that show with the guy with the animals."
Me: "What show? What animals?"
DG: "That guy who does those things with the tigers and shit."
Me: "What guy does a concert with animals?"
DG: "You know, that famous guy. John. John something."
Me: "Are you talking about the zoo guy who used to go on Johnny Carson?"
DG: "I dunno. Maybe. He does this thing with animals."
Me: "What *thing*? I have no idea what you're talking about."
DG: "He does things with animals and shit."
I am utterly confused as to what famous guy does a concert with animals. So, I said: "Jack Hanna?"
DG: "Yes! That's him."
Me: "JACK, not John. And that's not a concert."
DG: "Well, no, but I knew his name started with a C."
Me: "J. His name starts with a J."
DG: "Whatever, he has a name, doesn't he?"

Thank you for your blog. Your man makes beautiful and useful things out of wood, and makes you (and the rest of us) laugh. Sounds like a keeper to me.
I stalkambled over from BoneSmart ("Be free, newly Cyborginated Human...") as I am icing, elevating, and waiting for meds to kick in. So glad I did, as I am a strong believer in Laughter, the Best Medicine, and you serve it up pharmaceutical grade here.
And of course they are red Nikes. Completely obvious. Or they would have been red, if they were wearing them on the Road of Death. But they were not. And so they died. It makes perfect sense to me.
Carry on.
