I kinda had a thing for Spock, but to quote him: 'After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.'

Adopted a mini Schnauzer from a rescue agency a couple of months ago. We named him, 'Also'. He was added to our family to be a playmate to our old Schnoodle, but our dog was having none of that. Set in his ways, I suppose. Meanwhile, he wasn't letting the new guy have any fun either, and learning to use a leash to go out for exercise is hard work for a dog who has never been on one before.
I decided the leash could wait. I needed to see this guy smile, unfettered by leash and curmudgeon-y attitude of an old dog. Today we took him down to the dog park for the first time to let him run with the Big Dogs. He was grinning in under five minutes!

One of the best opening lines I've ever seen, from an article written in the Denver Post years ago:
'Daisy McAllister was a large, boisterous African-American woman whose smile revealed a tender heart and tendency to chew tobacco.'

When I finished reading the article (which was excellent reading), I realized he had my attention from the first sentence, and I'm rarely aware of paying much attention to the opening line, but that was an immediate attention grabber.

I did notice right away and said that it's removal took ten years off his face. He looked almost boyish.

If only there was something I could shave off and get the same results.

I've had the most interesting conversation with fellow diners precisely because I was dining alone and so were they. The above arrangement assumes no one wants to talk to each other. More like grown children who are taking 'a time out'.
