After several days of wonderful weather, humidity arrived on Sunday. YUK … I hate that heavy air feeling. Meanwhile, we had a full weekend involving ballroom, a wedding, Father’s Day, watching the US Open (my favorite golf tournament), and a variety of other necessary tasks.
Congratulations to British golfer Justin Rose for his victory!
Enough of my weekend, how was yours?
Are you one who either can start laughing for no reason, or simply can stop laughing? Here’s a good laugh to start your week. – and thanks Colline for finding this.
I couldn’t resist using that video again this week.
How has your week so far? Have you had pleasant weather?
Tonight’s golf game was a feast-or-famine 9-hole event. I finished +7, but had four double bogeys (each +2). Simply bizarre.
By the way, a reminder that the next post is Time – The Musical: Act 3 featuring year(s).
For this week’s mid-week dose of satire, I dived into The Onion’s vault of treasures searching restaurants. Given the results, I decided to focus on restaurant chains, plus limit each chain with one headline. I even listed them in alphabetical order. Any favorites?
Have a good rest of the week.

The commercial above makes me laugh. The first time I saw it I knew it was a “must use” with my mid-week dose of satire. Did you enjoy it?
Because Monday’s plans met the unexpected, I skipped posting yesterday. As many of you know, “not posting” doesn’t happen very often. Meanwhile, the past few days has brought comfortably warm, low humidity with breezes delivering a sense of coolness. Simply wonderful. For whatever reason, the golf game was much better form than the past three weeks.
On to our mid-week dose of satire. Those up to the challenge, make your own satirical headlines from the information below (and only that information). If not, that’s OK. Any favorites? My combo is a the end. Have a good rest of the week.

Greetings everyone! Hope all is going well for each of you.
My week hiatus is progressing, although I haven’t visited others as much as I hoped. Then again, my break isn’t over yet!
Since our last communication, we’ve made it to the dance floor, attended a euchre party, hosted friends, moved 10 cubic yards of mulch (that’s 7.6 cubic meters elsewhere in the world), played lousy golf, and a few other odds and ends.
Although this isn’t a normal week, I could use a dose of satire for my mid-week boost. For your entertainment, I went to The Onion’s archives in search of headlines about North Korea. Any favorites?
Enjoy – and have a good rest of the week.

As storms pounded the central US this week, I recall this conversation with a long-time friend. He lives near Oklahoma City, so he deals with his share of tornadoes. I asked him if he ever gets used to them, and he strongly replied, “Never!”
I’ve had a busy week doing some needed things around the house. I a run-around as trying to fix my weed whacker is taking too much time. Toss in mediocre golf and only being able to visit a few bloggers, YUK!
In other words, I need a midweek dose of satire to energize the rest of the week. Which is your favorite? For those desiring to try your own combo, use the information for the headlines below (and only that information) to make a new headline. My combo is at the end.
Have a good rest of the week!
