Show Oh I wouldn't worry about Sound smarter than I am I came home the other day and told my wife, Ive been thinking... and decided that I want to sound smarter than I Ml She didnt even look fTTy ' up from dishes merely 1091 ?hadt by Gary Torres shouldnt be too hard dear! And then gave me that endearing look that she gives to the dog. Something like, poor dumb animal... but at least youre happy... but only because you dont know that you are... a poor dumb animal. I didn't even hear her but continued, Not that I think I am dumb or nothin, but I want to sound like I am more smarter. Oh, hoooneeeey they never do... think they are dumb... but really you dont need to use more with smarter, I think using smarter would suffice. She looks over the top of her glasses at me as she washes another dish and smiles. Exactly, see what I mean. I don't sound nearly as smart as I think I am. Oh, I don't know if that is even possible, she quipped then makes eye contact to let me know that she loves me and sets the plate in the drainer to drip dry. Exasperated I exclaim, Exactly. See. Even you can tell that I am smarter than I sound. We can only hope so. Besides can you imagine sounding dumber than you are? Here. Can you put these dishes up on the top shelf? She smile and pats my hand to reinforce the request and grabs the broom to sweep. Now quit teasing with me. I am serious. I need to work on sounding smarter. There are people out there that might be reading this column of mine. What if they think I am smart or something. that., thinking you are smart, most of these people know you! Besides, what are you worried about Bill and Dawn do a great job of making you sound smarter than you are. I even find myself reading your mlnmn Not that I believe it Oh and by the way my mother called and said she is going to dismember your body and bury it the back yard if she ever reads about her familys singing abilities in the paper again. She crinkles her nose in a sort ofcute Way and scoops the dust into the dust pan. Yeah. Like I haven't heard that before. Everyone wants me to write but nobody wants to see their name in print. I think I am going to start writing articles about people in Monticello starting with the first name I can find in the Phonebook. Look right here! And I grab the phone book (I have no idea where the new one would be). First name from Monticello is Anna Adair... who is that... isn't that Kent and Chriss kid. You got any dirt on her? one-year-o- ld M ICcsai fc! 9900 County Road BB & I Road 10 Approx. 20 Miles N. of Cortez, CO on Hwy. 666 6 Miles W. on Hovenweep Road Saturday, March 31st at 10:00a.m. Hectors tBslers 1 ton Mir 4910 Hanlon 4900 Hmton 7230 FWA 1 ton baler Cau H. trador 3917 hr.

I think maybe we better work on that 'making you sound smarter than you are thing and dont you be saying anything bad about La Sal. I used to teach out there and so did Michael Holyoak, Scottie Boyle, Dee Hoagland, and Barb Bennett. She pulls the filter from the dryer and cleans it, puts a control static cling fabric softener into the dryer and pushes the button. Mr-taught out there...

She looks over her glasses again at me, Its not Anna Adair... it is Anna Thayn now and she lives out in La Sal." She gives me the I have explained this a million times to you look and pulls the clothes from the dryer out and puts clothes from the washer in. With my usual befuddled wonder he talks like a hill- billy and wears those goofy hats. Hes not that baaaaaaad (like a sheep, HA HA HA) Anyway, exactly! That is what I have been saying. You know sometimes I wonder if you are even listening to me. I look to see if she is still in the room, but she has moved to the TV room where there is a pile of laundry and starts to fold clothes... so I follow her. Oh I am listening alright, but I am always astonished at what I hear coming from your mouth. You really have to learn to tame your tongue and start saying nice things. Here! Fold these towels! Hey, Billy-Bo- b says that nice saying things don't sell newspapers. You gotta have juicy stuff! Thats what sells papers. Juicy stuff! You could write about the commissioners briefs again, that should get people going. She hands me my pile of clean clothes and says, "Can you take care of these? "I already did that... wrote about the commissioners in their briefs. And it is one of those word pictures that you can get carried away with. Just imagining our commissioners in their briefs, although entertaining, is not a pretty sight to dwell on. My too kind and loving wife Btarts the vacuum which tells me our conversation is over. Besides watching her work so much is getting me tired so I decide to go outside and talk with Turbo as he is napping, which is something I can probably help him with.
