Do you have useless information stored away in your brain? Things that you know, but that you have no reason to know. Things you will never need to recite. But, still, there it is, locked away in the personal computer you carry around in your head. Things like this:

***Cr*st has been shown to be an effective decay preventing dentifrice that can be of significant value when used as directed in a conscientiously applied program of oral hygiene and regular professional care.***

I do not know why I would even want to know this…no matter…it’s in there.

BTW: I searched for a picture of my favorite flavor, COOL MINT GEL, which is not available anywhere near me anymore…which makes me very unhappy. More useless information…

…just like this whole post…

Can you believe that it is almost Thanksgiving? Of course, to be in the stores…you would think we didn’t even celebrate Thanksgiving anymore. I even went in one store where they had a big clearance table that had all the Halloween mess and the Pilgrims and cornucopias on it! Hello-O! Thanksgiving hasn’t even gotten here yet. It’s very sad to me. Anyway…in case you feel, like I do, that Thanksgiving is an important day, and should be celebrated as such, I have gathered some pics of lovely tables and centerpieces that I think you may enjoy seeing.

Hi World, John Thomas Bush here! I’m still a little sleepy…it is hard work getting born!

They’ve had me all wrapped up in this hat and blanket ever since this morning! I’m ready to stretch out a little!

Daddy, can you help get these blankets off of me.

Whew! That’s better! Now, hurry! Look, there’s that nice lady.

I don’t know who that old man is…but he looks nice too!

Come on, nice lady…I’m ready. I want you to hold me now.

Now, what did you say your name was? That’s right…GiGi. That’s a nice name.
I think I like you.

Now, I KNOW I do! I like snuggling with you!

Now, who is that old man over there watching me?

Oh, he’s your Daddy…so he’s my Pop! Hi, Pop! You look pretty nice, too!

It’s OK, you can touch me…I won’t bite…yet!

Ohhh! I like your hands! They are big and strong! I bet you can teach me to shake hands one day!

Hey Adam! That tickles! Aren’t you supposed to be taking pictures?

Look! Here’s a good pose for you! Now how about passing me off to the Pop. I think he and I have got some talking to do!

Yep, me and the old man are going to be big buddies…I can just tell.

While sitting at the hospital this morning, before and after the birth…I needed something to do since the doctors and nurses obviously didn’t want or need my expert advice. I decided to tell the story of my sweet grand-nephew with the newspaper and a magazine I had brought to read. Yes, some of the pics are a little fuzzy. Chalk it up to my excitement. Here, then, is the story of the day…told in words and pictures.
