Some of Us Ran for a Good Cause. Some of Us, Not So Much

Look at all these young folk, just about to bust to run that 5k in the rain in the town the Dawgs built. It ALWAYS rains in Athens, Georgia. And, girl, don't they warn you. It pours, man, it pours. (That could be a song.)


I guess Cathy-on-a-Stick is more of a watcher than a runner. (That arch isn't very good at keeping pics-on-a-stick dry.)



(But thanks to all the runners who raised money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital!)

Bargain-Hunting

When I saw this deal, I dragged Don't Even Ask Cathy-on-a-Stick inside to buy me five dollars worth of good luck.

Don't even ask what they said.

What Happens When You Buy A Famous Author's Book

This is Jon Scieszka. He's written TONS of funny books. Like The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. And The Stinky Cheese Man. And the Time Warp Trio books. And you can get a great deal on his latest books, Knucklehead or Guys Read.

He was very happy to have his picture taken with Cathy-on-a-Stick. (Don't pay any attention to that look on his face. That's his "extremely happy" expression. Trust me.)

It's What's For Dinner

Just got a call from the Juniorest Hall (Oooh, a little poem for your enjoyment!) which reminded me that Cathy-on-a-Stick saw an awful lot of deer on the campus where Juniorest Hall now resides.

You have no idea how fast a deer can sprint when the dinner bell rings.
