JusJoJan 31 + One Liner Wenesday

Two today from Jerry Seinfeld:

Men want the same thing from their underwear that they want from women: a little bit of support, and a little freedom.

Surveys show that the #1 fear of Americans is public speaking. #2 is death. Death is #2. That means that at a funeral, the average American would rather be in the casket than doing the eulogy.

The doctor had spent years trying to capture it. Every attempt had ended in failure. His colleagues were not only skeptical, but worried about his mental capability. A scientist, yes, an exemplary education, they thought, but what to make of this endlesss set of experiments?

Doctor Brighty (Lightning’s my middle name) Halogen spent most of his time in the lab. Family and friends were ignored as he strived to manipulate light. It was a quest he enveloped wholly and was never allowing defeat to cross his mind.

This afternoon, a photograph showed him finally capturing and holding the elusive beam of light.

The Secret Keeper 126 – Hugs, Anyone?

I could rest here in the grey

No one would know I’m alive

Among the rocks,

I hide from prey

Till a photographer knocks

The glass enclosure doesn’t suit

I want my freedom, please

If I was a cephalopod,

I would ink them all with ease.

Weekly Writing Challenge #126

Monday Movie

You know Hugh Jackman can play most any character, sing, dance–I could go on and on. But here’s a side of the Wolverine you may not know:

“Kate McKay (Meg Ryan) is a modern day executive, a 21st century woman driven to succeed in the corporate world. Leopold, the third Duke of Albany, is a charming gent and bachelor of the late 18OOs. With career and social expectations looming, each has grown cynical about the very notion of falling in love. But when a rip in the fabric of time thrusts Leopold into present day New York, the potential for an old-fashioned modern romance ignites.

Release date: December 25, 2001 (USA)”

JusJoJan 29 Denver Downtown Aquarium

Last week we went to this facility and toured. My granddaughter took two classes as part of a homeschool program. It was fantastic! We missed seeing the sloth, apparently he is used as an ad and you can schedule individual visits with him. That along with seeing a Bengal tiger stressfully pacing in his enclosure, were the only slight disappointments. The very intriguing giant octopus came out of hiding, giving me the “whatfor” look after I remarked he doesn’t look that big to me. He slowly spread out as if he heard me, yikes! If you have a chance, visit!
