(Post # 1996!!)
And so it begins....
Despite enjoying a particularly healthy Peter Pan complex, I fear that I am slowly succumbing to adulthood.
For example, the other day my parents called, long distance from Winnipeg. As we were chatting, I began to wander around, and putter - picking up newspapers, straightening the vitamin containers (labels facing forward)...and then I noticed that the phone base was empty, so I began to hunt around for the phone.
As I was agreeing with my mother about some sort of comment on weather or nuclear disarmament, I was getting really baffled, wondering just what the hell I had done with my phone!
Well, the conversation ended, I hung up, and placed the phone on the coffee table.
It was at that moment that the light went on. Literally. When you end the call, a little light displays on the phone. That was also when I realized I maybe should have been looking for scattered marbles, and not the phone...
Chow for now!!

I have not located your marbles in over 2 decades, dont bother looking for them now! Ah, I believe you may be the only grey-haired Peter Pan I know. (I like both of those sides of you though) Shoom-shoom!
Oh, my Mrs TDG! You are too funny sometimes.
Bro, I must tell you that I had a similar incident. I use my BB for texting,email, and my calendar. I rarely use it as a phone. So the other day when I was talking with a colleague, I said to her, "Just a second, let me check my BB." I looked all over my desk and the surrounding environment to no avail. "How weird!" I uttered and then the light went on. I was talking on it. The fact that my colleague, who knows I only have a BB and not a landline, did not clue in had us both in hysterics. Sigh.
On another note, I post my 200th blog tomorrow. How cool is that as you get ready for your 2000?!
I had marbles once. I'm sure of it...
Runs in the family??
