Symbolism, car talk, being read to, and a good night’s sleep…

by

In the spirit of the iconic symbolism and cryptology frenzy around The Da Vinci Code, I offer:

Written across the wall of the cave were the following symbols:

It was considered a unique find and the writings were said to be at least three thousand years old!

The piece of stone was removed, brought to the museum, and archaeologists from around the world came to study the ancient symbols. They held a huge meeting after months of conferences to discuss the meaning of the markings.

The President of the society pointed to first drawing and said:  “This is a woman. We can see these people held women in high esteem. You can also tell they were intelligent, as the next symbol is a donkey, so they were smart enough to have animals help them till the soil.

The next drawing is a shovel, which means they had tools to help them.

Even further proof of their high intelligence is the fish which means that if a famine hit the earth and food didn’t grow, they could seek food from the sea.

The last symbol appears to be the Star of David which means they were evidently Hebrews.”

The audience applauded enthusiastically.

Then a little old Jewish man stood up in the back of the room and said,

“Are you Idiots?, Anybody knows, Hebrew is read from right to left. This is Hebrew, and it says:

‘Holy Mackerel, Dig The Ass On That Woman!'”

I saw all three of these bumper stickers on the same pick-up truck today:

Stop Global Whining

Give War a Chance


I received a call today from the library that my copy of Memoirs of a Geisha is available. I’m not ready to read it yet, as I’m in the throws throes of The Da Vinci Code.

I took Joe to the airport mid-afternoon. He’s purchased a new backpack, which has a padded area in the very middle of it for a laptop. Very cool.

I made the big mistake of exiting the airport

to Route US-70 intstead of Interstate 40.


It took me at least 15 minutes extra to get to Helios taking that route. So many lights. So much traffic in the middle of the afternoon. Don’t these people work?

At Helios, the music was driving me freaking nuts, so I turned on my iPod and listened to music that is slated to be played at my memorial service.

I listened to several more chapters of The Da Vinci Code on my iPod today. I’m actually getting a little bored with it. I hope it picks back up for me.

I uploaded the 12-CD audiobook of In Cold Blood to iTunes on my laptop.

I worked a little on this week’s Indy crossword puzzle (far too difficult), and fell asleep with my earbuds in listening to Lucia Micarelli.
