In the words of Fat Albert, “Hey, Hey, Hey … It’s Hump Day!”
Hope your week is off to a good start. I just returned from golf league, where I had my steady game tonight – so it’s always good to score well.
Reminder, that the next post is Act 4, Life: The Musical featuring song titles that include young, youth, kids, child, or children. Curtain time is Wednesday, 9:30 pm (Eastern, US) … so get your songs ready.
Below is your mid-week dose of satire courtesy of The Onion. As always, those desiring a challenge can develop a new headline by using the words in the headlines below. My “combo’ is at the end.
Enjoy and have a good rest of the week.

Pink piggy penny for your thoughts, priceless.
Here it is now a nickel for your thoughts. The Penny is but a memory, a spirit in the after world; sitting along side 45’s, eight tracks and Atari.

We did… And its great when you play really well… Nothing beats that feeling of potting a great shot…
I remember playing a round of golf with hubby once on a short 9 hole golf course we used mainly for practice
We were on a 3 par hole… And hubby sank it a hole in One.. if I had not been there to witness it, I would never have believed him had he come home and said it had got a hole in one.. LOL… It just bounced and rolled straight in..
:-D… So yes, its a great feeling! Frank… xxx
