Mastering the fine art of gummi bear surgery.

At last, some creative new ideas for home-grown Saturday night entertainment! If you’re a senior citizen shut-in with a sharp X-acto knife and a lot of time on your hands between meals I’d like to recommend mastering the fine art of GUMMI BEAR SURGERY* as illustrated below for your possible interest. (There are other procedures, too, so please let me know if you’d like to see more.)

Incidentally, diabetics (like me) should consider practicing only on sugar-free patients in case you decide to eat your mistakes. You can stock-up with a convenient five-pound bag here on Amazon.com.

I’m delighted to report that it’s been raining here in the Dallas area since the wee hours this morning and continues to rain steadily as I write this post. Sam is asleep in the family room, and I’m seriously contemplating a large volume of food as I think I forgot to eat dinner. Since it’s getting late I might begin with one of those cute yet tasty Schwan’s frozen breakfast omelets — microwave perfection in 2½ minutes! — of which I’ve grown exceedingly fond.

My favorite is the garden vegetable omelet but they also make a really nice ham and cheese variety, provided you like ham and cheese. (I like ham and cheese.) Thank you for reading this and don’t forget to shut the light when you’re done.
