Written for February - SHORT MONTH, SHORT BLOGS Word Count: A short 209 Since I can't go to the bar until Friday (see "Andre's Pet Peeve" ), I decided to go for a short walk this afternoon. It's nice out (not nice enough for shorts) for February, but the nice weather is going to be short. Yes, by tonight we will have rain, by tomorrow night it will become snow, and by Friday, it will be colder. Of course, that's all hearsay from forecasters who often come up short and are short-sighted. Despite having a short attention span, I began to think about being barred from the bar; "I got the short end of the stick," I thought. Also, as a result of my short attention span, I started thinking about the short end of a stick so I bent down and picked up a short stick. It was about three feet in length, so yeah, it was relatively short but as for one end being shorter than the other, they seemed to be the same. One was thicker, but neither was shorter! I went home, making it a short walk, to record my epiphany: There is no short end to a stick, but you can get the thin end! Sorry for all the shorts, but Andre wants a lot of short entries.
