• Jammies and Cakesters…..

    Today’s Fortune: For a good cause, wrongdoing may be virtuous. Hmmm…. I don’t know about that one. I think doing the wrong thing is wrong, no matter what. I would be tempted to follow this advice and keep Dharma here, because that would sure be a good cause, but it would wreck the TSM adventure for everybody, including Dharma, so I have to let her go, no matter how much I want her to stay. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. We are very much enjoying our last few days together. My Mom made us some very comfy clothes…

  • My First Kiss!!!

    Today’s Fortune: An opportunity will present itself to you.  Seize it. Last night was my official last date with Dharma. She will be leaving for her next stop on the TSM tour later this week.  I am already missing her, and she has not even left yet. We went to Grand House for dinner. Dad let us order whatever we wanted from the menu. We decided to wear our new karate suits, since we have been wearing our sweaters for a while.  Everybody really seemed to like them.  People kept looking at us like they wanted to know where we…

  • Dharling Dharma……

    Today’s Fortune: You will be invited to an exciting event. The exciting event is that Dharma Marmalade is finally here!! She arrived yesterday, just as my Mom was leaving to meet with one of those people she calls “Client”. Dharma did not have to wait on the porch, but she did have to stay in her box on the bar in our kitchen, because I could not open the tape by myself. I kept her company until Mom and Dad got home. Dad got home before Mom did, and he helped me open the box. We used a thing called…

  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • Twisted Sisters…..

    Today’s Fortune: Avoid focusing on the negative aspects of the past. That is pretty good advice. I have been seriously rethinking my decision for us to make sisters for me to play with, but I guess now that they are finished, it is too late to do anything about it, so I should just look on the bright side. After all, they are very……..um………entertaining? Early last week, we went Target to shop for sister socks.  They had a very nice selection, and I got to hang from one of those plastic things that they put socks on.  (I thought it…
