Up Creek? No paddle?

Do you ever just have ideas that stick in your brain that won't go away? Even when you know actualizing them could get you in to big trouble? You still can't let go?

Well let's put that aside for just a minute okay?

We've been  visiting  my sister Brenda in the Oakland hills. That's her on your left chatting with one of her long time friends. See how she's smiling?

Well she has a great sense of  humor and a great laugh.

How do I know that?

Paul: "Hey Brenda, how's your sense of humor?"

Brenda: "Great, you know that!"

Paul: "Good! Then you can take a little humor at your expense?"

Brenda: "Bring it on mister!"

Some of you are going to see this before she does. I may need shelter.

Anyway, those of you who know Brenda, and even those who've just met her? You've seen that competitive streak. She needs to be "Top Dog" no matter what. And she'll swim that extra mile to make things happen.

[PLEASE PROCEED TO PICTURE # 2]

So Brenda just dives into the pool in front of us with all her clothes on. We all know how dangerous that can be. But Brenda  is preparing for competition. She knows no fear. She knows winning means working harder than any other competitor. She fully expects that when she pulls herself out of the pool? She WILL be wearing the crown!

Me here with my camera? I feel like a paparazzi with a printed invitation to the party. What a privilege to be allowed to  record this moment. The picture you're looking at now is just the tip of the iceberg. I may market the rest of the roll to one of the tabloids.

[We'll see what Brenda can come up with to hang on to the negatives.]

Let's ".cut to the chase"

[YOU ARE NOW ALLOWED TO PROCEED TO PICTURE 3]

I'm sure you can tell from the confident gait and the broad smile. She is victorious. No other competitor came even close. LET'S HEAR IT FOR BRENDA REINERTSON, WINNER OF THE CLASS OF '62 WET TEE SHIRT CONTEST. HERE SHE IS [sing along now] MISS CLASS OF '62 WET TEE SHIRT QUEEN.

(Come on Peggy. Quit snickering. I didn't see you in the pool.)

Anybody out there live in a compound where I can hide out a few days?
