Man's Best Friend
My wife said I treated Tobasco better than I treated the kids. I walked him three times a day.
I took him water skiing and skydiving. I fed him rib tips and chili for dinner. He's ridden shotgun
in my Ferrari more than my wife. She has a conniption because I gave Tobasco a 24-karat gold
funeral with a sterling silver tombstone and cremated her mother. The heifer didn't like me anyway.
Tobasco didn't complain about dinner, clothes, and require $1000 cell phones. He didn't fail in
school and talk back. Excuse me while I cry and blow snot everywhere.

New Year's Resolutions
A new year. Time to make new, exciting changes.
Shall I spend more time writing, or perhaps make time to relax with a cup of coffee next to the warmth of the fireplace with a good book. I could clean out the basement and get rid of old Christmas ornaments I never use. How about jogging or enrolling in a paint class. Joining a book club could be fun. I would love to discuss “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Skydiving, snorkeling, traveling the world. Maybe.
Or maybe this is all wishful thinking, since I only have a short time to
live.
