Being really bad at remembering jokes and given that this was a very bad joke, I lay awake for a while pondering why this joke, and why now. That thinking led me to some other childhood memories with some curious [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jimpfitzer.wordpress.com&blog=3793129&post=138&subd=jimpfitzer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was once a young monk who ran across his master on a meditative walk. As he approached trying to be respectful and quiet, he saw the master spit on a statue of the Buddha. Seeing the student&#8217;s alarm, the master turned to him and said, &#8220;it is only a statue,&#8221; and walked on.

So when my many dog-owning friends (most of whom are also artists and travel a lot) are on the road, I end up with dog duty.

It’s funny how perspectives change. In August, the thought of late February, conjures of images of darkness, bare trees, a chance of snow, and mostly cold—a climate I have long associated with Russia, not the balmy southeastern United States in which I live. But today, the twenty-seventh day of February, all my thoughts are on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jimpfitzer.wordpress.com&blog=3793129&post=41&subd=jimpfitzer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Four days have passed since I posted my “what Jim needs” list on my blog and I thought I would try the experiment again. There were a few of the same pages, but a curious surprise came in at number 9.
