I Spy With My Little Eye....

For those of you who watch Comedy Central, you may have seen a pretty funny bit recently on the Colbert Report about Sarah Palin actually being a Russian Spy. The evidence was was pretty compelling.

That made me think about spies. While you may think that spies are only in the movies to the likes of James Bond, I'm here to tell you they are real. I urge you...in these dangerous and sensitive times, be aware of your surroundings....recognize when things just don't seem right.

Here's a perfect example of an advertisement I received in the mail yesterday from the local JCC. (Jewish Community Center for those of you that aren't members of the tribe and familiar with this organization) I think the picture speaks for itself...

When Dreams Come True...

Everyone has dreams. From the our adolescent years till our final days....we're always dreaming of something. However, often times, dreams don't exactly work out quite as we had hoped. I thought I'd take this opportunity to "illustrate" a couple of my dreams....and how they've turned out.


When I was little, bedtime was the worst thing ever. I did everything I could to avoid going to bed. I'd sneak out of my bed, I'd need a glass of water, I'd have to go to the bathroom...whatever I could think of. Having no bedtime is the dream of many kids. I don't know exactly what they are expecting, but it usually goes a little like this....

The Dream....No Bedtime!!!

The Reality....

P.S. It's a couch. I'm not an artist...deal with it.

On to the next one, the fancy car. Every teenager, even some adults dream of owning and driving a fancy/luxury/sports car. Here's how that dream pans out...

The Dream...

And....the reality.

So to everyone out there, don't be discouraged, follow your dreams. Just grab a cup of coffee on the way and don't forget your wallet.
