Farewell, Pink Floyd / ValenTina Turner!!
Today’s Fortune: You will witness a special ceremony. My fortune cookiesa are right again! Today is the official day for the “Boxing ValenTina” ceremony. Today is the day we pack her up for the trip to California. She will be traveling by Priority mail. I found out a while back that Priority means “very important.” Even though she is difficult, I am glad she will get Priority treatment. I was very sweet to her today. After all, she is my sister, and it will be quite a while before we see her again. We gathered all of her things together,…

Meet the Geezers (Part One)…..
Today’s Fortune: Your greatest fortune is the large number of friends you have. Wow! Another fortune is right! I have so many friends now that I can’t even count them all, and it seems like every day I make some more friends! I am even starting to grow on the geezers here, which is good, because they were not very nice to me when I first got here. Most of the sock monkeys here at my house are very old. Mom has been collecting them for a long time. They live in our kitchen, because there is a lot of…

I Get Creative…..
Today’s Fortune: Your artistic talents win the approval and applause of others. I sure hope this fortune is right. I have a lot riding on it. My girlfriend Dharma will be here sometime next week, and I am very excited about that. She is coming to visit as part of the sock monkey exchange student program called “TSM.” That stands for Traveling Sock Monkeys. We will be sending ValenTina to California, and Dharma will be coming here from Connecticut, which sounds like a pretty bad deal for California. My friend SassylePoof! will be going to stay at Dharma’s house, and…

Official Monkey Business….
Today’s Fortune: Let there be magic in your smile and firmness in your handshake. That’s a pretty good fortune. I think I have a magical smile already, but I might need some practice on the handshake. I just found out that a good handshake is very important. Especially now that I am ready for Official Monkey Business. I have noticed that when I am out and about, doing the stuff I do, most people seem to want to know all about me. It’s probably that magical smile thing. Every time people ask about me, Mom tells them about my blog,…

Dear John Deere……
Today’s Fortune: You are quiet, adaptable, and sensitive to others. Today was not the funnest day ever, but I did not complain. I was just quiet and adaptable. This morning, Mom went to see another person called “Client”. This one was different from the one she saw yesterday. They all seem to have the same name, and when I do get to go, I have to stay in the Suburban, so I never get to meet them. Staying in the Suburban is no fun at all. When she was finally done with her meeting, Mom took me to a place…

Collection Notice…..
Today’s Fortune: Wealth is a state of mind. That is an interesting fortune for today. I let Calvin Klein open the cookie, so we are sharing this fortune. I think he did a good job of cookie choosing. I spent a lot of the day hanging out with Calvin Klein. I introduced him to everyone. Even Valentina. I did not find out anything about his gang yet. He doesn’t seem to want to talk about it much. We played with the new sock monkey Jack-in-the-box that Dad got for Mom a few weeks ago, and then Dad spent all afternoon…

I meet Calvin Klein…..
Today’s Fortune: The time is right to make a new friend. This is my best fortune so far! Today we did a lot of boring stuff. Mom went to meet somebody named “Client” and did not take me. Then Dad needed to shop for some special stuff for making “backdrops” for his photography. Mom went to the paint store. I had to sit in the car a lot today. It was not much fun, except for when we went through the car wash, which was good. We went to the fabric store, but we did not get sister stuff this…
