I think there was another thread like this, but as I can't find it I'm starting a new one!

Today, at work, I'm going through lead sheets and calling people. Then, all of a sudden, I come upon the funniest sheet I've ever seen. Who am I supposed to call next? You guessed it: G. Funk.

No, not George Funk, or Garry Funk, or even Greg Funk. This man's name is G PERIOD Funk!

Now, he didn't answer the phone. But I couldn't help imagining him answering the phone, and me asking "Hello, is G. Funk in the house?" [Big Grin]

What are the little things that make your days worth while?

Now surely the G stands for something! I hope you reach this person and tell us. I mean, is he "funky" like in a disco way or is he just "in a funk" all the time.

Or is he just the happiest guy on the planet?

My little thing is laughing at my dog. She's a hoot. She banged on the wall in her sleep, woke up and went barking around the house trying to figure out what made that noise!!!

Today in church I had a sudden revelation about lunch. That's a really sad thing to have a revelation about... I guess I should pay more attention.

But I came home and made the lunch and it was fabulous. I cut up chicken breasts and breaded them with cornmeal and thyme and chili powder and onion powder and fried them in good old-fashioned shortening.

Then people came over and brought food and we had a huge meal.

Huge meals always make my day better. [Smile]

What was the topic of your revelation about lunch? That you should have some, or that you should invite people, or that you should use cumin?

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

That I should use thyme, actually. And what a revelation! Mmmmm, boy.

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

Sounds like it was just in thyme too!

I think you've also proven that religion is the spice of life.

'Scuse me while I strangle Bob.

Posted by Javert (Member # 3076) on :

So, for mack, one of the little joys in life is strangling people. While I respect that, please mack, no strangling in my thread. [No No]

Don't worry, I took it outside.
