It’s like deja vu. I have too many irons in the fire…again. So I intend to take a break for a while. Gotta get my priorities in order.
If, in the meantime, I think of something that will change the world, you guys will be first to hear about it.
My blog has made it, by some mistake, to the short list of the ‘best humour blogs’ in Ireland. I haven’t worn my funny cap in months. Strange. Best of luck to the remaining participants.
On the car journey home from work today, my workmate and myself were listening to the news on the radio. He had lived across the pond, in Boston, for a few years. He has fond memories of the States, some of which he retells to me on our journeys home.
But today on the radio the newsreader told the heartbreaking tale of a young girl who accidentally shot her gun instructor…with an Uzi !! That’s a submachine gun. It ‘sprays’ bullets.
I will pray that the girl will fully recover from the eyewitness shock of what a gun actually does. The poor girl. May God watch over her.
“…the girl was nine years old,” finished the newsreader.
With that, my workmate starts nodding and goes “And they can’t order a beer until they’re 21.”
Then silence in the car…except for the weather on the radio.
Thank you for reading
Frankie.
