That Gina is one angry woman, I'll tell ya

Sometimes, just for kicks, I ignore the directions my GPS gives me and take a radically different route. I like to get her all angry and frustrated and even screaming at me. I say "her" because a female voice gives the directions. Her name, I decided, is Gina Pamela Smith, or G.P.S. I have two other GPSes, one named Gertie Patricia Smith and the other, Giselle Pauline Smith. I believe they are sisters.

Watch the ending of "Marley & Me" without shedding a tear, I dare you.

I think John Lennon's most profound lyric is, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." For Bob Dylan, it is, "He not busy being born is busy dying." Coming in second are "He bag production, he got walrus gumboot" for Lennon and "See the primitive wallflower freeze/When the jelly-faced women all sneeze" for Dylan.

I cannot believe it is June already. Oh no I cannot.
