Person of Color
Herby at first wasn’t sure what to make of his stunning colors as he grew to adulthood. He just hoped he wouldn’t be mistaken for a traffic light or Elton John . . .
Bed of Roses
Ginny had been looking for one of the new Sleep Number beds but had to settle for a bed of (Cherokee) roses . . .
No Fly List
Charlotte (pictured) was both amused and yet troubled; her recent trip to the Greek islands had been cancelled; it turns out she had been put on the “no fly list” by TSA. The trouble came about when a midlevel TSA bureaucrat read an article in The Scientific American during lunch where scientists had demonstrated mathematically that it was impossible for bees to fly, and, he wondered, if bees couldn’t fly, how would that affect the rest of the passengers and plane. . .
Missing Emails
When the Queen bee had been asked for hive emails, not just the work related ones but the “private” ones that left big gaps in the record, she instructed her chief of staff to tell the Justice Department, the Right side of the aisle, and the media to “Buzz Off” . . .
Goldfinger
When Lucy’s cousin asked if she wanted to see the all day marathon of James Bond movies, she jumped at the chance. Curious, her cousin asked which Bond film was her favorite–“Goldfinger!” she replied without hesitation . . .
