My new pet rabbit

Okay, not really. She's way cuter but she is a biter!

A question for the marketing directors at Red Robin

My sister is in town for the week of spring break and since she has never been to Red Robin in her entire 16 years of life we thought that it would be a good experience. All was well and good, but there was one problem that no one could solve. There was an fold up paper advertisement on out table much like many restaurants have. It was designed to look like an old style car but with information about Red Robin products on some of its sides. Just out of curiosity, either my wife or I had decided to look the entire thing over so not one iota of information would escape our attention. This curiosity would soon take us to the bottom of this colorful advertisement and deliver an answer to a question that never entered my mind. "61, Chevy" was the answer Red Robin had chosen to give me for any question I had for a cardboard box. Looking it over and over for several minutes we decided that there truly was no question given. This trivial answer was perhaps more profound than just announcing the model of car the advertisement was designed closest to. My wife's inquisitive nature took her mind to a far off place where answers are the questions and questions are the answers and she explained her philosophical conundrum by saying that there was a purpose to an answer without a question. And that purpose was indeed to get us to question the necessity of answers at all. In truth it is the questions that we seek and causes us to expand our minds to possibilities outside of a single persons answer to any one question. We asked the waiter if he knew where the question might be... not on the coaster, not on any other boxes... nowhere to be found. In fact, he was not even aware that there was an answer on the bottom of this box. Looking around he found that some boxes had answers and some didn't. Could this be a reflection on the broad spectrum of people who would be dining at this restaurant? Are some people presumptuous enough to think they have the answer your looking for? I don't know but I'm wondering if maybe there is a lesson to be learned here... or several of them. What is your Question? What is your Answer. Next time life throws you a curve ball just remember, the magic eight-ball only holds the answers... YOU HOLD THE QUESTIONS.

Case of the Mondays

I've decided to take this Monday off in order to catch up on some the things I've been missing out on. Housework has taken the biggest hit lately. With the rabbit stuff to take care of the other things take the back seat until the weekend. The last couple of weekends my boss has had me working so Saturdays went from clean up days to more exhausted days. I anticipate the summer sun to increase productivity. The winter cold forces retreat under a blanket and hours of TV watching. Jess and I have begun watching several TV shows on a regular basis. This accounts for most of after dinner hours until bedtime... Perhaps a springtime lightening storm will blow up our TV and then we can get something done... Then again many shows are available online. Only Time will tell.This Monday is unlike most, Tuesday will be my back to the grind.
