    Deep Thought: Once when I was in Hawaii, on the island of Kauai, I met a mysterious old stranger. He said he was about to die and wanted to tell someone about the treasure. I said, “Okay, as long as it’s not a long story. Some of us have a plane to catch, you know.” He started telling his story, about the treasure and his life and all, and I thought: “This story isn’t too long.” But then, he kept going, and I started thinking, “Uh-oh, this story is getting long.” But then the story was over, and I said to myself: “You know, that story wasn’t too long after all.” I forget what the story was about, but there was a good movie on the plane. It was a little long, though.

    P.S. And by the way, as punishment for me being a Halloween Grinch, Smokey (see photo above) brought in a mouse just before I went to bed which he let loose in the kitchen. This time I was clever and put a board across the door to the rest of the house so it couldn’t escape that direction, but it went behind my stove and refrigerator. So then I had to risk giving myself a third hernia repair by moving them away from the wall. Then it ran into a little hole next to my dishwasher which I totally cannot move. So now it will either (1) rot in the hole, (2) come out and get eaten by a cat when I’m not here, (3) come out and give me or someone else a heart attack because I wasn’t thinking about it then, or (4) escape into another time zone and never be heard from again.
