Nope, I’m not talking about personal health or political endangerment, I’m talking about the everyday world that I’m becoming more and more familiar with. Here’s what I learned today from three very different comic strips:

That’s Layla demonstrating her place in the pecking order. Fortunately, situations like this only occur six or seven times a day. In other words, “YIKES!”

Not so long ago I’d be able to say that the convo above occurred at least six or seven times a day. But I’m happy to report that I’m learning from my past mistakes. In other words, I still find myself putting the juice in the fridge door–because there’s no other shelf tall enough–and instead of saying “anything” in a situation like this I say, “Sorry.”

Most of my current or former showbiz friends and I are pretty much in agreement with the sentiment expressed by the Horse. But when it comes to dreaming the impossible dream, I do my absolute best to keep my mouth firmly shut. As far as I’m concerned, the dream is merely a McGuffin many of us use to justify what I’ve learned is the most important thing in life, which is, of course, THE JOURNEY.

I admit, though, that what makes my journey extra wonderful is the love of an exceptional partner, AKA Gwen the Beautiful. Without her, there would be nothing worth dreaming about.
