I admit it. I am. But times are hard and you take your laughs where
you can find them.

So Dear Daughter and her beau were over for dinner and were out back on
the trampoline, much to Zane's delight. Zane is our big male border
collie. He has a tennis ball fetish. And a trampoline fetish. His
favorite thing in the whole world (apart from flyball) is seeing my
daughter put her headphones on and roll up her jeans. This means she's
going out to jump on the trampoline, which means he can jump with her,
and bring her tennis balls, which she kicks or throws for him to retrieve.

The presence of Boyfriend adds a new dimension to the game. The pair of
them throw the tennis balls at each other as they bounce, in what I can
only interpret as some sort of bizarre courtship ritual, and Zane
retrieves them after the ricochet.

I consider Boyfriend either foolish or in love because there's no way
anybody with an ounce of common sense would allow DD to peg a tennis
ball at them at short range. The girl has a hell of an arm on her, and
dead accurate aim. And sure enough, she hit him in the eye with one.

Inside, I dug in the freezer for a package of frozen peas to apply to
the emerging shiner. Only, I didn't realize there was a split in the
plastic bag and as I was getting it out, a handful of frozen peas
spilled and bounced all over the kitchen floor.

It was funny enough to watch Scully scrambling around the kitchen,
scarfing up individual frozen peas. Seriously, what kind of border
collie is mad for frozen peas? But when Dear Daughter added in PacMan
sound effects... "WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA"...

It ranks right up there with the whole "peanut butter on the roof of the
mouth" thing.

I had a girlfriend who had a cat that went nuts for olives, jarred
green olives. If you gave her a chice between wet food and olives, it
was hands down olives. She'd jump 3 feet or more into the air to try
to snag an olive.

I might or might not make an effort to catch a thrown green olive. But
you'd only have a chance to throw one of them. After that you'd be flat
on your back on the floor with my knees on your chest and I'd be prying
that jar out of your hand.

Me and the kitty would share a nice snack, no leaping involved. And
maybe, *if* I were in a good mood, I'd throw down a handful of frozen
peas for you.

I'd happily hand over the jar. I like ripe olives, but can't stand
green ones, and I don't like peas either. The only enjoyment I've
ever gotten from green olives was playing with that cat. Her name was
Pluff.

I've always liked the green ones well enough... Or at least no more or
less than any other sort of pickled item.

But I wish you could've sat outside at a street side cafe in Madrid with
a glass of Cruz Campo, a little dish of green olives and another of
salted peanuts, watching a parade of motorcyclists protesting the lack
of guard rails along dangerous curves going past in their neon safety vests.

If you'd been there, I bet you'd share an olive with Ms. Pluff.

I'm no expert (although there are a *lot* of olives grown north of me),
but ripe olives can be either green or black. Olives are not edible
unless cured. Some curing turns them black, some curing leaves them
green. The really cheap olives taste fine, but are green with black
blotches that look like bruises.
