I'm an ultra-Liberal, Obama-loving Democrat. Those words would make people hate me. It's a shame we don't have a country in which everyone feels free to express him or herself. I just realized that I didn't use the word "president" in my writing!

scout

We set up camp and began our surveillance. I sent Detective Lobster to scout around for a better vantage point. Detective Lobster was having a difficult time, being out of the ocean on land duty, but he was able to find the bad guy and gurgle, "Confess! Confess!" Instead of handcuffs, he used his claws. The guy is now in jail. Detective Lobster is doing scouting and patrolling off the east coast of Prince Edward Island.

Being prosperous and having a midlife crisis seems contradictory. I was a theater major, got scared because I'm not a self-promoter, and switched to teaching, which I hate. Needless to say, I'm exceedingly jealous of my favorite actors who are in my age range. They're prosperous in terms of material wealth, but also in terms of having a fulfilling life.

pouch

The Joey felt he was old enough to get out of the stupid, slimy, "overly motherly" pouch. He was a big boy already! He jumped out and hopped away from his mom. Feeling a little overwhelmed with his new-found independence, he hopped back to his mom, gave her a kiss, and let himself be taken over by her maternal feelings - just for a while until he could go off and hop by himself again. She let him. She supported his independence, like all good moms do.

Gasoline. The word makes it sound so inviting. Try gasoline to get lean! A new diet. No, the word belies the expense!

He was a wanted man; wanted by the police and wanted by two ex-wives. The police caught up with him, finally, and made him pay both wives everything he promised. Sometimes being wanted by someone isn't a good thing. He's now wanted in his jail cell because it's bed time.

Bach wrote inventions, but he didn't invent anything. His "inventions" were works of art, not science.

I hate sports. I've always hated sports. I was a gym nerd. You don't see sports suffering during budget cuts, do you? No. Of course not. Just once, just once I'd like to see the entire country's population sit, glued to their TVs, watching an opera!

drain

The bath tub used to give me a feeling of serenity. I'd listen to my ocean sounds CD and float in the water. Since I gained weight, however, I feel hopelessly stuck to the bottom of the tub once the water drains.

This edition of the newspaper is good. I enjoy reading it. All the articles are good. I'm a dinosaur, enjoying my paper with my hot chocolate, my old cell phone, by big TV, my large desktop computer. This edition of the newspaper is like a pair of old, comfortable shoes that no one wants to throw away, but to keep for posterity.
