So what do you do when your mind is just a blank and it is time to write a Ravings!!! A number of things are going on, but are still a little too fresh at this point to write about. They need to simmer and stew a bit before serving up to the public. Many years ago (nine maybe) I was able to use a brilliant article by an Australian writer on how to get your adult children to move out of the house. It was very witty and funny as heck!!! Unfortunately, getting good substitute writers to fill in for you is pretty hard to do. That Musings lady has offered to fill in from time to time, but I wouldn’t want her stuff printed anywhere. So ... out of desperation I called upon my best friend to see if he might be able to help me out and being the good boy that he is … he said WOOF!!! So here he is!! Hi there, my name is The Jet, and I belong to a wonderful man called Mikie. I also live with a strange little old lady, who has this even stranger liking for three fat creatures that I have to share the house with. Mikie is my best friend ‘cause he doesn’t like those fat creatures either!! Mikie is so wonderful because ... “Hey that’s not a full dish” ... “You got to put more food in there than that!!!” “ You could stand to lose a few pounds yourself!!” If he wasn’t my best friend, why, I would gladly chew his leg off. Even when they are on a diet, the fat creatures get three meals a day and I only ever get two!! What about that, big shot friend??” Although, Mikie is a real tight wad with the kibble, he does regularly take me for walks in the woods. I love walking in the woods!! “Hey slow poke ... why are you stopping and just looking at trees?? I have squirrels to chase and I can’t just hang around in one place while you snooze!!” I’d just leave and go off on my own, but the coyotes might get him. More importantly, the coyotes might get ME!! The kibble police can look after himself!! The other nice thing about Mikie is that in the winter time he likes to light fires. Don’t worry ... if the kibble doesn’t improve the Fire Marshall is definitely getting a call. I just love sitting right in front of the stove with a blazing fire going. I am so happy that I even let one of the fat creatures share some of the space. “Hey Mikie ... the fire is dying down ... get over here!!” My best friend Mikie would be just about perfect if it wasn’t for the Strange Lady and the Fat Creatures!!! “Thanks Jet”. The end!! 800

Mike’s job entails keeping the computers up and going, keeping the office up and going and keeping our spirits up and going. Most of these jobs are done exceedingly well but when you imagine Scrooge at Christmas, that is what we get 365 days of the year. He is quoted as saying “I love to be around charming, personable people but don’t seem to find any to work with”. Bah humbug! When Mike is not at the office he can be found at home tending Debbie’s gardens, splitting wood, working on furniture and coming up with more stories for his Ravings. No one is safe, especially his two daughters.
