Cosmic planets It's ba-a-a-ck. Ya, this is more "me". I think I got used to it. Really busy day today. At any given time at work, there are anywhere from 3 to 6 or 7 people in the office. For much of the morning, there were 10 - 15. Bosslady and 2 co-workers were in various stages of meetings and renewals, there were people waiting and the phones were ringing off the hook. The good news is the day raced along nicely. Well, as a few people pointed out today, we have lost a planet. Well, we didn't actually lose it. We know where it is, it is just no longer a planet. Now I will never remember them. One would think that if there is one less, it would be easier to remember, right? Not so. As a kid, the way I was taught to remember them in order was by the simple sentence: Mary's velvet eyes make John stay up nights, pining. Ergo: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. So much for that. Now we won't know WHAT John is doing up all night. I guess that sentence was kind of old fashioned anyway. Maybe we should come up with a new one. How about: Mary's Vodka Extraordinaire Made John Sleep Until Noon. It's funny, last night we were watching TV and whichever show we were watching was talking about the great lakes. I remembered the missing one on their list by rembering the word HOMES. That was another trick we were taught to remember in school. Do they even do that anymore? Sometimes I feel so old. Getting back to the planets for a minute. Wouldn't you think that if they were going to eliminate a planet, they would keep the name Pluto and rename Uranus? And think about it. What if they ever get so techno and advanced that they colonize that planet. I can just hear it now. Everyone is standing around waiting for the shuttle. "Hey, I see you're going on a trip. Where are you spending your vacation?" "On Uranus." Booking a flight will be interesting. They really should have renamed it Pluto. Well, I think some Pogo is in my future tonight. Have a good one! Later,
Cosmic
