An un-fortune-ate start



Wow, what a terribly sad Father’s Day.  I still can’t get over what happened in Orlando.  And, there’s nothing I could write here not that I didn’t already say here, here, here and here.  But, another week has gone by, I write a (mostly) weekly blog, and it’s all I can think of.  I guess this is due to expanded media coverage.  I guess this is due to late-night pundits taking time out of their (usually) funny shows to address the 800-pound gorilla in the room (that story too has run its course…too soon?).  And, then you had a 2-year-old drowned in a terrible accident on Disney’s property by an animal just being itself (last count was 5 euthanized (read: dead) alligators to determine if they were the responsibly party). 







It’s a sad way to go into the true beginning of summer.  So, here’s my hope list for the next 2 ½ months.  It’s what I’d like to believe will happen…in fortune cookie form:








May common sense gun legislation guide you to fewer unnecessary deaths.







Confucius say: bird in the hand is better than lit fireworks (re: Pierre Paul of the NY Giants).  Lucky numbers: 7 remaining fingers.







May your summer vacation luggage follow you to your final destination.  Unlucky numbers: A320, 707, A380, 737, 727, etc.






May the sand stay on the beach, and not in your swimsuit.  (Learn to speak Chinese: irritation, 刺激 (Cìjī))



 






A wise man said: “Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun.  Ya get a sense of it and then you look away.”  #WWJSD







You will be successful in business or become a successful Republican nominee, but probably not both, or even either…in bed. 







“Bern-ing” bridges you have yet to cross is a poor policy when needing to move forward.





Finish what you start with accuracy and expediency to avoid becoming a casualty in your own book.  What is dead shall never die.  Lucky numbers: Hodor.

When life distracts you from your phone, it may be time to hang up.

If you're "one in a million," there are then 1,357 people identical to you in China (and 1,252 in India).
