Why do some feel compelled to make others feel small?  My family was invited by my wife's work to go out on a boat and eat dinner with other employees.  Everyone was invited: the president of the company, the administrative assistants, the office managers, the custodians.  We all had a very nice time. I heard another story where, after an appreciation lunch, the custodians were told that they could eat the leftovers.  It would take a moment to process the feeling those hardworking men had.

A small bird attacked me while I was jogging the other day.  I had apparently jogged too close to the bird's nest.  The flutter by my head was small-sized ferocious.  What pains a parent will undergo in order to protect the young!

Clark Griswold and Bob Seger.  A man has to reach a certain age to understand either one of them.  I believe I have hit that age.  The jokes get keener, and the melancholic songs more so.
