Welcome to the Dr.Draw Companion

That uncompromised List CAN BE DONE IN 30 Minutes and/or 1,800 Seconds of pure, uninhampered, unadultered Time. Undoubtedly, with that Top 10 List firmly secured in place, there is the Distinct Possibility that the next Phone Call I receive will be from the revered Staff at the Guinness Book of World Records…because…to me, at least, that’s a pretty concise and WBR:

World-Breaking Record of THINGS TO DO. Things Accomplished. And, Things Done. Taken, of course, from a busy type of Gal’s Mandatory “To Do List.” After all, this thAng called LIFE is NO Dress Rehearsal.

Actually, I did not know I was “that swift.” How this new Talent came about is simple. I obtained and attained a Job…in the Real World, in the Work World, in Corporate America. Except, it was NOT typical. I say that because it was NOT located in the Heart & Pulse of “The City” – “The City that Rocks, Chicago, Illinois, my Turf & HomeTown.” This particular Job is located only 7 blocks away from the Homestead or 5 Minutes via my preferred MOT: Mode Of Transportation, My Bike…possessive as I most definitely am.

“My Bike.” I love “My Bike.” She is like an Appendage of Me. A limb, a leg, a finger, a hang-nail. She is a vital Necessity in “My Life” and in my Existence. I must tell you that there are only Three (3) Speeds on “My Bike,” my preferred Vehicle. Those are: Slow, Slower & Slowest. In other words, it’s not a fancy English Racer or Mountain Bike. I get “there” when I get “there.” IF I am pre-fuelled on something sweet, HIC – High-In-Calories & naughty, I bike faster, but during the HOTS: Heat Of The Summer (which Chicago is notorious for), sometimes, Peddling is and can be a tremendous Challenge. This is not to take into account RRR: Rampant Road Rage on the part of Car Drivers and the Pot-Holes We “Biking Machines” must peddle around or leap over. Personally, I ‘peddle around.’ No wheeley popping or flying over them with the GOE: Greatest Of Ease. Nothing fancy here – I’m not as ruthless as I was in my earlier and former Days of Life on Planet Earth.

I feel privileged and I feel especially “blessed” I found this Job so close to My Home. It’s a Win-Win Situation for both my Employer and myself. My Top Ten Reasons are listed above. Hers are somewhere in my Personnel File. So far; so good! So, hopefully, IT (ie: that sITuation) will stay that way.

Recently arriving upon my 48^th Birthday on Wednesday, August 9^TH, an advancing Birthday makes a Person automatically realize that Life is NOT going to last forever and making the MOST of it is tantamount. Being gainfully employed is important in many e¢onomi¢al ways. But by having the Freedom to “check in” and be “in the Hood” allows a Person, as myself to “check in” and DO a few things “for myself.” It lets “Adrienne” be ADRIENNE again. Alone in my Little World:

Koopersmith’s Kreative Kingdom & Kalendar. This is where I really shine! This is where I DO ATT: All The Things that refreshen me so that when I return to work, I’m not jaded; tired, bored or just longingly staring at the Clock waiting for the 5 PM Happy Hour to arrive.

Now, I’ve been on this Job for slightly over a Week now and it’s still ANE: A New Experience, but that’s part of the FUN. Perhaps next time, when I get home, I’ll prepare a cake, have it in the frig & then bake it during that time. OR: Maybe, I’ll wipe down the kitchen floor. Maybe I’ll begin writing the next BAN: Big American Novellette. Maybe I’ll mow the back lawn (luckily, for the sake of my Employer: it’s small). Maybe I’ll peddle over to the Lake (Lake Michigan, that is) and go wading. Or maybe I’ll just take a nap, being tired of ATT: All The Things I plan TO DO in this 30 Minute Time Slot!

Just think what I could DO in 35 or 40 minutes! Marvels never cease.com!

Now, TAP: That’s A Plan. I better make sure the Alarm is set…

This week’s attempt at humor

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses.

She started her class by saying, “Everyone who thinks you’re stupid, stand up!” After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up.

The teacher said, “Do you think you’re stupid, Little Johnny?”

“No, ma’am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!”

During his visit to the United States the Pope met with President

Clinton. Instead of just an hour as scheduled, the meeting went on for two days. Finally, a weary President Clinton emerged to face the waiting news media. The President was smiling and announced the summit was a resounding success. He said he and the Pope agreed on 80% of the matters they discussed. Then Mr. Clinton declared he was going home to the White House to be with his family.

A few minutes later the Pope came out to make his statement. He looked tired, discouraged and was practically in tears. Sadly he announced his meeting with the President was a failure.

Incredulous, one reporter asked, “But your Holiness, President Clinton

just announced the summit was a great success and the two of you agreed on 80% of the items discussed”. Exasperated, the Pope answered, “Yes, but we were talking about the Ten Commandments.”

Why we ran out of oil.

There are a lot of folks that can’t understand how we ran out of oil here in the USA.

Well, here’s the answer: It’s simple.........nobody bothered to check the oil.

Didn’t know we were getting low.

And of course the reason for that is geographical. All the oil is in Texas, Oklahoma, and Alaska and all the dipsticks are in Washington, D.C.

Enough chatter for this week,

lets go and read some funny cartoons
