Decent sleep, if a bit short in the hours department.

No cat disasters last night, and I slept very well for about seven hours. Around 3:45 I woke to find all three cats curled up around me. I spent the last two hours trying to get back to sleep.

It's supposed to get up top 97 F today, and I must go to the un-air-conditioned basement and do the laundry. Oh, joy!

BOGO? GOAT? There's currently an "AU" showing up, and while I know it does nopt mean Australian, I have no idea what the fat hell it means!

I recently saw a post of Facebook from a New York friend, who considers himself a professional writer, that included a sentence something like this "it was an issue between him and I." Is no one learning grammar these days? I will admit I don't always use the correct word, like "sit" when I mean "set" or "lay" when I mean "lie," but I don't cope well with such errors when it comes to print. It takes me right out of the book and makes me wonder why the author didn't know better.

This doesn't happen in print; I hear errors like this in commercials, scripts, newscasts, and it drives me mad. I wonder how the author passed English.

Thoughts, DRs?

Late last night, George asked "I don't know if I've asked this here before, but what do Anne Frank, Martin Luther King Jr., and Barbara Walters have in common?"

I had no idea and finally had to google to find out, but it was very interesting and offered some perspective on life. Thanks for bringing up the question, George.

I’m not a fan of the widespread use of AF, which does not stand for Anne Frank. There’s a restaurant group in Louisville that uses it in all their names, like Dinner AF.

WTF?(By which I mean waltz, tango, foxtrot, of course.)

In dance competitions, you always dance certain dances in an order:

I really dislike the trend by youngsters to refer to any Broadway show only by the initials of its title (ie, MWRA for Merrily We Roll Along).

Everybody tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tapioca,
Everybody, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slapioca.
If ya got the dap, dap, dap-dap-dappier flappers flap-flap-flappier
Everyone is happier when the do the tap tapioca.
When they do the flap flapioca.
Tap, tap, tap, tapioca,
Slap, slap, slap, slapioca,
Tap, tap, tap, tap the tapioca.

I do hate the initialization of everything, and it can take me a while to get used to a new (to me) acronym. A couple of years ago I actually had to google GOAT two or three different times, because it seemed so far removed from anything and the meaning just wouldn't stick. Now, of course, you can't get away from that one. And when an acronym actually spells a common word that has nothing to do with the meaning, it's just a total distraction to me.
