Three things: <\/p>\n

1.) Happy Mother’s Day<\/span> to all you moms out there.<\/p>\n

2.) The picture of the day<\/span> is entitled “hand of God waving”. I have an arbicola plant<\/a> that I inherited from my ex-wife many years ago (1986), and I’ve managed to keep it alive somehow. Every now and then it starts a new frond, which looks a little bit like a tiny hand waving (well, to me anyway). When I’m in a pan-theological mood, I think of it as the Hand of God. This is what it looks like . . . . the plant, anyway.<\/p>\n

3.) The Big Kiss<\/span> on The Office<\/span>. I “picked up” on NBC’s Office (TV show) during the winter, so I had to watch the season finale this past Thursday. It featured a typical forbidden love scenario: nice young guy with a future, while biding his time in a backwater town, falls in love with a cute local girl. But local girl is engaged to a local barbarian who could pound the stuffing out of nice young guy. Nice young guy and cute girl get along well, really in synch, but guy doesn’t cross the romance line; until season finale, of course. <\/p>\n

However, the really interesting thing is the acting chemistry between John Krasinsky (playing nice young guy) and Jenna Fischer (obviously playing the cute local girl). They really do seem to click; they know exactly when and what to laugh at together and how to finish each other’s jokes. They actually make flirting look like fun. It really would be great to find someone of the opposite sex that you could laugh with like that, so easily, so naturally. I’ve never experienced it, and never knew anyone else who did either. Wow, if only real life were like TV . . . . (although that kiss is gonna mess up the laughter for a while; it was no laughing matter!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
