Double Your Fun ....

So, I'm running classified ads in my paper and they produce lots of responses.

For example, I'm offering my older computer monitor for sale after I moved up in size.

But I'm hearing ridiculously LOW offers. Yikes.

Wait a minute, isn't there a way to connect TWO monitors to my computer? How hard could that be?

Then I could slide all those pesky (but necessary) icons over to the smaller screen and leave the BIG screen free for BIG images.

Be easier to read text too.

And, speaking of enjoying more screen time, the new 60-inch television makes watching football more exciting.

Looks like one of us is missing a helmet??

Actually only the cat sits this close to the screen.

And, usually only for football.

The picture is so big and so crisp, you pick up your camera to capture a moment.

Digital and High Definition were made for each other.

Craig Ferguson of the CBS Late, Late Show went to Paris a while back and did a low budget week of segments.

This week's reruns gave me a chance to snap a shot of his robot skeleton side-kick in a suit.

Geoff Peterson has on a beret. And wearing pants.


The usually austere show pulled out all the stops with music, dancers and hand puppets to promote the series of overseas shows.

The hoopla is appropriate for the Peabody Award-winning late night talk show hosted by the Scottish-American comedian.

He debuted 7 years ago and it was announced that when David Letterman retired, Craig would move into that earlier slot.

We'll see.

The white bunny's comment was "Ooh La La."

Swine Flu Jitters

This photo I snapped in New York - in Little Italy - came to mind a few nights ago.

David Letterman mentioned that Swine Flu was the subject for his Top 10 List.

Actually, it was a listing of ten dumb ways to avoid catching this year's disease.

Included was "Shop very carefully at Piggly Wiggly."


Also suggested was "Spray your bacon with Lysol."

The cute little piggies have fallen into disfavor.

Well, they never were cuddly but remember the hardships imposed on The Three Little Pigs by that wolf at the door.


And it wasn't exactly a great day for the piggy who "cried wee, wee, wee all the way home.










Speaking of animals, I would assume people are thinking less kindly toward the Stock Market "bullish" symbol that stands on Wall street in NYC.

That's a HUGE reminder of financial hardships.

I'm more comfortable with my animal friend - he's in law enforcement - up in Canada.

And, we both like hats.
