1.  I wonder if someone has every won Jeopardy with 1 dollar.  And the next day, the announcer had to say, “Our returning champion with yesterday’s winning total of….ONE DOLLAR.”

2.  Work had me wound pretty tight this week.  I wanted to cockpunch opposing counsel.  I didn’t.  That’s called being a professional.

3.  I have also been really grateful for the twists and turns of life that have allowed me to meet some really, really interesting people.

4.  Entry by Pippi reminded me of this joke:

Two men were walking down a road together when they spotted a dog on the side of the road with his leg up, licking himself.

One of the men said, “Oh man, I wish *I* could do that.”

The other man replied, “You better not. I think he’d bite you.”

5.  I have been practicing my guitar. I play a mean version of “Down in the Valley.”  I confirmed this when I performed said song for my niece and nephew via Skype and they screamed and lost their minds.

Fuck yeah, kids.  GONNA PLAY YOU CLEMENTINE NEXT.

Lest you get the impression that Besos has anything less than a great sense of humor, here’s this morning’s conversation:

Besos:  Someone proposed to me this morning. You’re late to the party, honey.

RE:  Did you accept?

Besos:  Thinking about it.

RE:  Did you get a diamond ring??

Besos:  It’s in the mail.

RE:  Did someone really propose?

Besos:  Not this week.

RE: You kill me.

Besos:  I’m just teasing you, sweetheart.  I don’t want to get married.

RE:  *Blink*

Wait.

WHAT?

Then I just couldn’t stop laughing.  Because it cracks me up when she gives me a hard time.

And let’s face it.  No one could date me without a decent sense of humor.

Hell, no one could stand me if they didn’t have a sense of humor.

bah.
