The Girl’s two and a half year old nephew goes to some sort of nursery school. Apparently, all the kids built a snowman and then they all had to come up with a name for the snowman. The Girl’s nephew named him Garbage. I thought that was funny.

I got a fire going in the fireplace last night and forgot to open the flue which may be spelled flu.

Anyway, it was like Backdraft in our house and The Girl wouldn’t come downstairs and she didn’t like me anymore for a bit.

The only part of this story that isn’t completely true is that it isn’t that I forgot to open the flue…I thought I had opened it but I actually shut it. I think that might be worse than forgetting to open it.

Dear The Girl – Sorry about it and I have never loved you more.

The happiest of birthdays to Lynda. With a Y.

My eye is twitching and I’m sick. None of the herbal medicines The Girl has given me have made any difference although one of them tastes good. Also, I thought I was only allowed to take one Sudafed a day instead of two pills every four to six hours so I’ve been suffering unnecessarily. I wish my Sudafed was a masseuse. This would be a great time to have special powers. Zan or Jayna would even be fine. Hi boring…have a nice Tuesday. You don’t deserve a nice Tuesday. I don’t even believe in the concept of deserve in an unjust world. Okay. Okay.

A neighbor came over last night to ask us for dog food. The second I opened the door I began preparing for the worst ten minutes of my life. All that talking…”Hey, I’ve never been in your place. Is that a picture of you at Machu Picchu? We should do some gardening this Spring.” Amazingly, none of that happened and the neighbor person really just wanted to get some dog food and leave. It was actually better that it happened and I thought it was going to be terrible and then it wasn’t terrible then it not happening at all. Please see that Econ guns and butter graph for more information.

Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts.

I might do Pilates today. I don’t like group activities but I am working on a deal with The Girl that if I go she gets to be in charge of all lunches for a week. And, not just lunch for us…lunch for the world. I just changed my mind and I will not be doing any Pilates. Thanks for having me though.

Jeremy Grey: Have you ever shot one of these things before?
John Beckwith: The whole 17 years we've known each other I've been sneaking off to go on little hunting trips around the world. No, I don't even know what the f*ck a quail is!
Jeremy Grey: I look totally ridiculous. Like why do I have to be in camouflage? So the big bad quail doesn't see me?
John Beckwith: I know. Why can't we hunt something cool like a hawk or an eagle, something with some talons?
Jeremy Grey: That'd be awesome. We could get something like big game. Even like a gorilla or a rhinoceros or a human being! That'll get you jacked up.

• I watched Idol last night DVR-style. Did you see Hottie Von Oregon with the horses and everything? You don’t have to pretend you don’t like the show. I imagine that if I needed a girlfriend I would pretend I didn’t like it. Or maybe I’d go all contrarian and like it. That would really go going contrarian twice because I do like it. I’m a contrarianist.

• Emergency…there is a bug on my screen right now. Hi bug.

I want the garbage men people to take the garbage as well as the cans so I can get all new cans. Last week I left a note but it was ignored. I got a poster for this week. No really, I did. I hope it doesn’t work again. Why don’t they make fitted sheets with the corners marked so you can get it right on the first try? That’s all.

On January 14th in 1900 Puccini's opera Tosca premiered in Rome. I took a course about Puccini at Michigan. The course was called Puccini. I learned that, in addition to being a wonderful composer, Puccini was a significant force in the movement to get lobsters all over the streets of Rome, Milan and Florence. Shortly after the turn of the century, lobsters were extremely active in Italian politics. In fact, by the time World War I broke out crustaceans dominated Italian politics. The lobster’s influence eventually reached the US and culminated in Harding’s conversion to being a lobster just before he was elected president in 1922. So, it is my honor to announce that I, too, am now a lobster.

What was the second national park established in the US? Today is an auto-reply day. In addition to the answer, today’s auto-reply will include three quotes from people who are regarded as being really smart and one quote from Marie Antoinette. Please email me at Trapper@moosejaw.com for this important auto-reply.

• The Girl and I saw Juno last night. If you haven’t seen it and don’t want it to be ruined please don’t read my review. Here’s my review.

• "I thought the character development was tedious and not remotely thoughtful. The cinematography looked like a home movie and the costumes were awful."

• Really, I made all that up and I have no idea what any of it means. I liked it a lot and even though I have a couple real comments I’ll keep them to myself.

According to my people Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau were responsible for creating what? Today is a special auto-reply day. Special for no reason whatsoever though.

• I got new shoes today for the first time since the last time I got new shoes. They’re Sanuks and I feel exactly like Bodhi. The only reason I’m telling you is because I have nothing else to say today. In fact, I even said to the lady across from me that I have nothing to say today. She said ‘good.’

• I was just thinking that I should give the Bodhi reference but then decided not to do so.

• I almost end the previous sentence with Not To instead of Not To Do So. Then, I figured it was better to go with the Do So and talk about it. Might be a nice topic for your group work.

• I think it’s odd that I think I could have gotten more votes than some of the candidates in New Hampshire. Is that wrong? Am I too cynical? Or, am I really a ghost?

* I had the most beautiful lunch today and I forgot it at home. Second time this week. I am going to eat nothing and pretend I’m on Survivor. Actually, I am going to try to eat every bag of pretzels at Moosejaw.

* I’m not that good at Excel. People at Moosejaw talk about a V Look Up every once in a while. I pretend I know what they’re talking about but I don’t.

• A friend asked me and The Girl to go to a museum with him and his girlfriend. Here’s what I said…"No, thank you."

• "Hey mister, why don’t you try a little tobasco with the remark today."

• "Why don’t you mind your own business."

• "Why don’t you try using a question mark when you ask a question."

• "You missed it first."

• "You’re totally right."

The Girl got some new granola and it comes in a milk carton type thing instead of the typical cereal box and it is the best invention ever and every cereal should follow suit. I imagine that milk was at one time served from a cumbersome rectangle box too. Not only could this change the way we eat cereal, it will change the way we get cereal into cabinets and therefore revolutionize kitchen design forever. I love the world and I would have included an exclamation point here but I don’t use them.

Emergency…I have changed fonts from a 12 point, navy, Times New Roman to an 11 point, navy, Verdana. Please know the change was necessary but came only after several hours of agonizing review with a full team of linguists and graphic designers. If you need any advice regarding any font changes please let me know or contact anyone named Rodrigo.

I don’t think the system I use for the Daily Remark changes fonts so please ignore that previous emergency paragraph.

Dear Girl Who Doesn’t Like Me Anymore,

I didn’t push you away when you gave me a hug goodbye at the party yesterday. I was in the midst of asking you a really important question and I was trying to pause everything so I could actually ask the question. I don’t blame you for not liking me anymore. Remember when you said "you really are so weird?"

Fondly,

I’m sorry to announce that the Jefferson City Daily Remark Group is the first remark group in 2008 to shut down. Apparently, they found my New Year’s Day poem "ludicrous, and wonderfully offensive." I don’t really get their commentary but I couldn’t get anyone to talk to me so it’s out of my hands. If anyone knows someone who goes by the name Pinkerton in Jefferson City please ask him what "wonderfully offensive" means.

Amazing Michigan win.

Less importantly, I ate a pepperoni last night.

Ahhh, 2008…The Year of Enrichment.
The year we learn to forget about the fleeting present and worry about the past or the future.
The year we minimize our risk for the fear of rejection is all too great.
The year we purposefully augment our suffering hoping our unjust world turns.
The year we use ‘augment’ as often as possible whether it works grammatically or not.
Yes, it is a time for all of us to learn to take up more time and space.
And, let us not forget about love.

I hope you enjoyed that poem.
