Life in the Banana Patch

A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.

"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell

Work today was interesting. I answered several calls for people wanting gift certificates and wondering if they will get them in the mail by Christmas. It's like the husband was sitting around the house for the wife to get home to ask, "Hi, Honey. Christmas is in four days. You think we should get your mom something? Great will get 'er a bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg!"

Yeah, I waited till the last minute. But at least I thought of my Mom first!

I did a bunch of generic gift certificates, but I did one for Jenny's Cabin, one for Country Quiet, and two for Homestead at Becker Vineyards.

Only two and a half more days, then I get 4 days off. YES!
