☞I’m going to start off Random Thought Tuesday with Aye Wonder’s song of the week. I don’t want to lose your attention later on and you miss this one. I heard this song on Saturday and was impressed at how fast it was ingrained in my brain. It’s a perfect summer song and it’s what life is all about. Presenting Donavon Frankenreiter and Life, Love & Laughter for your Tuesday Random Thoughts listening pleasure. Good day where ever you are.

☞What is Russia thinking? Do they have have Europe by the balls inasmuch that Europe’s economic health is tied to Russia? Europe may publically side with the U.S. but what are they really in a position to do? What are we in a position to do? This is a very tenuous situation. Watch closely.
☞Would you look at that. The Dollar is strengthening and oil is weakening. It’s a miracle. 
☞Two weeks ago I said I couldn’t get worked up about the Olympics. I lied. While I am not sitting in front of the television with pencil and paper taking note of who won what medal, I am loving the competition and the spectacle. I haven’t watched since I was a kid but this is making me feel…um….kid-like. For real.
Behind the tab…come on you know by now…..
☞Yesterday, out of the wild blue yonder, I got a very bad case of food poisoning. There I was going through the day minding my business when it hit me. I went from happy-go-lucky to considering the emergency room (A & E for my friends from the U.K.). After about 3 1/2 hours of this, it finally broke. Chris came home and asked me what I ate.
“Nothing special,” I recounted to her, “just the chicken from last night and a teaspoon of peanut butter on a small piece of lavash bread.”
“What peanut butter,” she questioned.
My first thought was, The peanut butter I found lying in the back alley” but I thought the better of that response. Instead I told her, “the peanut butter that’s in the fridge.”
Silently, solemnly even she walked into the kitchen and then returned to the bedroom where I was near comatose with the offending jar of peanut butter.
“This one.” she interrogated me.
“Not sure.” I said knowing full well that it was the only jar we had.
“This expired February 2008.”
GULP.
Well at least we knew the culprit.
Food poisoning? Very, very bad.
☞In light of this week’s Vice Presidential pick by Barack Obama comes this week’s Aye Wonder quote of the week.
The first threshold question about a vice president is, are you prepared to be president. So on the one end, they (Bill & Hillary Clinton) are saying he’s (Obama) not prepared to be president. On the other hand, they’re saying maybe he ought to be vice president. ~ Senator John Kerry
☞If you have read this far, you have an oppinion about the Donavon Frankenreiter song. And?
☞It’s amazing how many lurkers visit this blog. I know you are there because of this great new widget you see next to my ugly mug. (this means you, Graham, Steve, Marty et al.) Thought you get away with just sneaking in for a peak?. Come on. Let’s get the conversation flowing two ways. Then you’ll see a blog. Of course, I will have the last say.
☞This is a funny little story. Last week, a Kentucky woman was kicked out of a mall for wearing a short dress that mall security thought was too provocative. The woman purchased the dress a day earlier at the same mall.
☞Me being me, I Tivo-ed Pastor Rick Warren’s sit down over the weekend with John McCain & Barack Obama. I think McCain won the “debate” on points. One of the reasons I thought McCain won is because my expectations of him are so incredibly low. Since he overperformed, he wins. Also, it was very interesting to see the difference between the candidates and not just the issues. Obama tends to be more thoughtful with his answers, McCain more black & white. I think that what they both showed in the telecast is that they are honorable, good men on balance. Now your decision is based upon your belief system. Good luck to you and us.
☞I think I’ll go buy some new peanut butter. Thanks for stopping by.
Aye Wonder.
