QUOTE OF THE DAY (OR MORE): "No, no. You don't understand. This is an '89 Calico. I'm pretty sure that exceeds the Kelly Blue Book value. The cat's totaled." --A comedian whose name I forget talking about a vet who presents a $3,000 bill for a 12-year-old cat

Short, but Nonetheless Humiliating, Anecdote


Recently we were watching a movie with my boys in which a person is having a conversation on a telephone in a phone booth.


"You see, boys?" we explained. "That's how we used to have to make phone calls away from home before there were cell phones."


"Huh..." my 12-year-old mused. "Did you have to wait in a line sometimes?"


"Well, yeah," I recollected.


"Did you ever use a phone booth, Mom?"


"Uh-huh," I answered.


"You're that old?" he marveled.

    Fortunately Grasshopper is too young to have figured it out yet.
