I made this one inspired by the quote from the TV show, Louie. I thought I'd have a bowl of rice because it is kind of the universal food often supplied for hunger relief. I already had the photo of quinoa, however, and most people probably won't recognize unless they look really closely. Quinoa is better anyway!

 This is the first Meme I made. It is in response to a quotation of Kurt Vonnegut, but the original is full of "don'ts" and I prefer to hear and try to use positive speech. I may try to redo this one and attribute "adapted from Kurt Vonnegut," but I didn't know who it was when I made this.

I made this to use for a photo on a Facebook page I made to put the Memes on.

Bacon Meme

I've really enjoyed making "Memes" this week. This is my third one. I've only made them using my own photos because I don't want anybody feeling like I shouldn't have used their photo. I've had this quotation (I also want to always attribute quotations properly) in my head all week. This is the first photo I have taken specifically to make into a meme.

Twenty Dollars

Last week when we did dinner in the park I heard a couple of the "Parkies" talking. One of them said, "If I just knew I would wake up every day with twenty dollars in my pocket that would be the good life."  I think about how much I have and how much I waste and feel humbled. I will admit that there are times I don't have $20 in my pocket, or even in my bank account, but I wake up in a house every single day. I get in my car and drive every single day. I have (too much) food to eat every single day. All that is worth millions.

Leaving, on a ...

well, the guy said it would most likely be an Aveo or a Cruz... I am taking a journey tomorrow to go see a comedian Louis C.K. in St. Louis (and you know I LOVE that!). He has a TV show and the first 2 seasons are on Netflix and I have watched many of the episodes repeatedly. He's true and amazing and raunchy and honest - my kind of guy. It's ended up being some kind of epic birthday trip. I am frankly abashed at the expense I have paid for this trip, but it grew one little thing at a time... It's probably my annual retreat for 2013, a couple of months early!

Somehow, I think FNB is going to be pulled off this weekend and I am happy for that. Last week seriously at the last minute, Ross posted that he had acquired a load of food and he and I cooked and got it to the park about 6:30.  We need to get a routine established and enough regular people so some of us can go on trips, or study, or work, or be sick, or sleep and there is still dinner at the park for those who need it. We still need equipment to make it work when it's cold, too. I think I am going to ask a local attorney for some money for equipment, because the parkies respect him and say he talks to them. We'll see.
