Every time I login with new Blogger it says, "remember me?" and I say "YES." And the next time I log in, it says, "remember me?" I give up!

Here is a cartoon I drew for the cartoon correspondence course I signed up for over three years ago.

I never finished the course, because every time I send in another assignment, I literally have to beg the guy to send it back to me, months after I send it. Over and over again, he cannot remember ever seeing it, he lost it, he finally finds it, and sends it back, after I send him letter after letter (he prefers not to email). I have been selling my cartoons anyway, so I don't feel so bad about not finishing the class. On the other hand, maybe he wouldn't lose all my things if I'd paid him using the three-payment plan, instead of sending him one check for the entire course.

I love my dog. He is the cutest dog in the whole world.

I think the grossest food that people eat is ham salad. Ever since the first time I laid eyes on it as a child, I thought it looked like lunch meat that somebody chewed and then spit out.

I learned something last weekend. I had no idea that the sleep ingredient in Tylenol PM/Advil Pm/Unisom is the same ingredient in Benedryl, Diphenhydramine. I find it very strange that on one product it's called a sleep aid, and on another an antihistamine. And that being the case, everyone knows that Benedryl can cause drowsiness, but that doesn't stop people from using it while driving, operating heavy machinery, performing brain surgery, etc... while one would be less inclined to do those things if the same product is labeled as a sleep aid.

We watched the Pursuit of Happyness again on DVD after seeing it once in the theater. That was a really good movie. If you are an Amazing Race fan, you will notice that Tyler Mcniven, of the "hippies," was in that movie. The extra DVD features were very interesting.

This is the first time I've used little starry things to separate the topics in one blog post. I got the idea from Doozie a long time ago, but this is the first time I've used it.
