Chinese Fortunes

Share and I went out for dinner the other night at the Wok King. Everything was pretty normal as far as the food itself and the service. A waitress with limited English took our order and brought us our food. The part that was good was the fortune Share got.

It was so good I decided to scan it in. Because, geez! I couldn't help myself!

Words News Anchors Should Not Be Allowed To Use

I've been thinking a lot about news anchors. Not because I want to be one. Oh no way. But because sometimes I think news anchors are on the edge of obnoxious. I was in my car listening to the radio when the 5 p.m. news came on. This is when I noticed what it was about the news that presses the wrong buttons. In this world of non-stop news reporting that repeats every thirty minutes, I think we should be able to ban certain words from the news anchor's vocabulary.

The word that bothers me the most is again.

This word "again" gives the news anchor a license, nay, a journalistic responsibility to repeat the news story in it's entirety. This completely surpasses the thirty minute waiting cycle before I have to hear it again. I'm sure journalists think they are doing us a favor by repeating the whole story, but lets be real. I heard you the first time. I'm no longer shocked by the news so much that I have to hear it twice. Again, I am no longer shocked by the news so much I have to hear it twice. Once again, I am no longer shocked by the news that I have to hear it three times.

Flickr

I know, flickr sounds kind of dirty. However, it really is not. I recently discovered flickr. It is an online photo sharing website. So for any of you that may be interested I have uploaded all the pictures that we have taken of little baby Clifford to it. The pictures that I happen to be in are not very flattering at all. However, there are a lot of little Clifford. Just keep in mind that in order to get a good photo of an infant you have to take a lot of pictures. You can even leave comments on different pictures if you want to. Sweet huh? So go visit my flickr account and check out what we have gotten. Some of them are pretty good.
