In response to last week’s
question, "Do you have a shadow at night?", my birthday bud Jon
replied, "I think so, but I’m paranoid." To this, my
engineering friend Steve offered "Let me get a flashlight and I’ll
check."
My writing friend Stan
shared, "I used to. But now he's old and sleeps through those times when I
wake up."
My sailing friend Norm
explained, "Of course you have a shadow --it's just too dark to see!"
to which my writing and friend Rich concisely noted, it's "a Dark
Shadow."
My dad's beach buddy Bob
pointed out, "Always in the moonlight," to which my feline loving
friend Tracey declared, "Absolutely! Cat Stevens said it best, 'I'm being
followed by a moon shadow.'" My dog rescue friend Kate
expounded, "Last night, we watched the sun set west of the big
Island as we concurrently watched a full moon rise in the
north. Two shadows."
And my BBQ friend Alan
responded, "If his name is Punxsutawney Phil, and it’s Feb 2nd, he always
sees his shadow" even though it's oh-dark thirty when he is pulled from
his habitat.
Please share your thoughts about this
week's "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:
Can you be too romantic?
Live. Love. Learn. Laugh ..
Lighten up!

Was anyone else
required to memorize Robert Lewis Stevenson's My Shadow (http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/171951)?
Thanks to Demetri
Martin, Steven Wright and George Carlin for the inspiration for Hmmm. Stop
