"Wheel of Fortune" was in Hawaii this week. Look, there's Pat Sajak with a Hawaiian shirt and very dark spray-on tan!
I don't watch the show closely, but it's usually on because I turn on the news so that I can see the weather forecast, which I usually miss anyway, and "Wheel" comes on afterward.
Sometimes they have what they call "prize puzzles", and whoever wins the round gets a trip. You need to understand that, when they're in Hawaii, the contestants are usually locals. In this case, it was "best friends week", and one pair of best friends won a trip -- to Costa Rica!
Please pardon me for not understanding why people who live in what may be the ultimate tropical paradise would be excited about a trip to a second-class tropical paradise.

And his Skipper, too,
Will do their very best.
I'm sorry if my blog is usually so negative that you don't recognize it when it's happy. That is wrong of me. I apologize. I will try to do better. I'm glad you were uplifted by my (unfrequent) happy words.
(When I logged in to post this, I didn't think about the fact that my last post was about cookies. I'm posting it anyway.)
Well, the other night my wife got out the package of break-and-bake cookies, and because she didn't have her reading glasses handy, asked me what the instructions were. My reply, of course, was "break and eat".
Oh, you wanted the temperature specified on the package?
Reminds me of one time my wife asked me to turn the dishwasher on. I walked over to it and said "Hey baby, you are one fine looking dishwasher. How 'bout you and going out on the town tonight."
I think Websense is a guy. Normally, Websense blocks our access to YouTube and to all webmail sites that it knows about (Yahoo!, Gmail, etc.) Today, those sites are available. (I know this because I can see the image for the YouTube embed a couple of posts back.)
The logical conclusion is that there's a guy looking at every website typed in, and his job is to select either "allow" or "disallow". Today, that guy stayed home because of the tropical storm.
Websense has no sense! It blocks youtube but lets other video sites in. I think our IT idgets programs that thing so that they can still see sites they like. Hope it never pings Pleonast!
Ha ha! That guy either has the worst job ever or the best job ever. I can't decide. He could be incredibly bored all day, or he could be gleefully blocking things at random and laughing maniacally as you all try to go to websites you aren't supposed to be on....
Fried Mediterranean pickles...Hmmmm. If I knew what Mediterranean pickles were and if I'd ever had a fried pickle, then I'd know if that sounded good or not.
