pontificate at 6 am

I made Bub get up early this morning to help me proof my paper for class.   I stayed up last night, well past midnight  and have an all day class again today.   I often read my papers and writings to Bubby so that I can hear what I have said and also so that he will catch my typos and mistakes.

Did not think Bub would want to listen to me last night, so when I was making coffee at 5:45, I heard him get up too.  We had a quick conversation and I knew he was actually awake and in perfect time to get him to help me.

He whined, but eventually complied and got some coffee and joined me. Which is a good thing, cuz I had missed a bunch of words in my paper and had a couple of mis-speaks.

Then Bub started to be the philosophy king, pontificating all the way to the kitchen to get a second cup of coffee.  The subject?

Porcupines.

Seems that I have a huge amount of hits on the blog because there is a link from a google picture of a porcupine to this site.   I didn’t take the picture, I only downloaded it from the web several months ago and used it in a blog.   But now, if you google porcupine, and a picture comes up and you hit on it, you can link to this blog.  Go figure.

Bub wanted to know how I had managed to do that and thought that if I could get another picture, say of a red balloon, then I would get a bazillion hits.  Then google or Disney would pay me a tenth of a penny each time someone linked to their add from my site and then I would be rich and then I could stay home all day and write my book that he wants me to do.   whaaa-hoo!

I laughed at what he said and he replied, ” well that is what you get when you get me up this early, I pontificate and am the philosopher king”

thanks.
