I have determined that God must be Swedish. Why else would there be the wonderland for mankind that is IKEA??
At the risk of a product placement of sorts in today’s blog, those IKEA stores are absolutely CRAZY, man!! I defy someone to ever get in and out of one in less than an hour. They are the retail equivalent of a Lay’s potato chip…
And I can’t eat just one of those…
Never mind that you will likely never see every product offered for sale in an IKEA store, no matter how much time you spend in one. Never mind that you WILL find things you would likely never, ever need over the course of your life, in that store. Standing ultimately at the checkout with an industrial-strength buggie, you will be giddy with excitement. You will run to your car, anxious to return home and begin what will likely be 3-4 hours putting together wood. Wood that may one day resemble a book shelf - maybe even a canoe. It’s a crapshoot whenever you use instructions printed in Swedish…
God, while clearly Swedish to my determination, has also likely never moved. I seem to recall his address as being Heaven, ever since I was a kid. Moving, I suspect, is the devil’s work…
Chow for now!!

Just a handful...
One for the living room, one for the TV room, one for the "reading" room down the hall.
Oh yeah, and one for the car, for while we are stuck in traffic.
That's what the new Paris Hilton cd is for, although I do leave it lying on the floor for them to use, whenever nature calls...
Wasn't she at least NOMINATED for an Oscar??
I also smell Grammy next year!!
