An older dragon is showing a photo album to a young dragon. The older dragon says, "This is your great Uncle Smaug, and this is Puff, but we don't talk about Puff much since his arrest."
This joke is from a new comic on GoComics webpage.
I am having a mini vacation, since it is August. I will try to see some of my favorite San Francisco Bay Area things. I again recommend the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and new museum, the Monterrey Bay Aquarium, the Oakland Museum, the Tech, the Exploratorium, all the stuff at Golden Gate Park, the ocean, Muir Woods, Big Basin, Skyline Drive, Gilroy Gardens.
And of course, you should get your costume together for the Renaissance Fare near Gilroy coming in September. You can get an inexpensive sword in Chinatown in San Francisco.
Now is also the time to look in Salvation Army and Goodwill Stores for costumes for Halloween. These are also great places for boots to go with your swordperson's costume for RenFaire (the short form of Renaissance Faire for us horrible spellers). The proper footwear is SO important for the total effect. For women, the Chinese Mary Jane slippers work well. (Black flat ballet shoes with a strap across the ankle.) Please remember that you need to be able to WALK in your costume shoes. Faire is no fun if your feet hurt.
For those of you going to Burning Man, have a fabulous time and I am SO jealous. Too bad I HATE heat and blowing sand.
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." This saying means that not going on vacation makes you LESS SMART because all machines, including your brain, need down time.
