Counter Productive?

Between door-to-door solicitors of lawn maintenance, house cleaning, marketing BS, dog sitting, and God knows what else, we now have the potential of Census taking knockers. Just what we need.

I think I'll have Titan open the door for them.

"Welcome number crunchers. Do you REALLY want to come in?"

Probably not. So don't count on me.

PS. I did fill the form out, and said I had 15 members of a Tijuana mariachi band living with me.

$8.5 Trillion Deficit by 2011?

It could happen, the way the government is going.

I say we turn the Congressional Budget over to Titan.

He can balance anything.

Just a thought…

Why is "28" better than "61"?

"61" was a wonderful movie about the 1961 New York Yankees and the internal team competition, and friendship, between the M&M boys, Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. Maris went on to overtake the home run title held by Babe Ruth since 1927, with 61 of his own. The Yankees then won their 19th World Series Championship over the Cincinnati Reds.

So what is the significance of "28"?

• Well for one, it is the number of chapters of the Gospel of Matthew
• A Catholic Priest does 28 signs of the cross during Mass.
• 28 is the atomic number of nickel.
• It is also approximately the number of grams in an ounce.

But to me, and many others this baseball season, it is the goal of the Yankee empire. That is 28 World Series Championships.

So, as Titan and I gear up for baseball season, I hope all of you enjoy the Spring, have a wonderful Summer, and I know, Yankee's fans will have a long, enjoyable Fall season.

Boston.............. bite me.

72,000 hits

This photo of Titan, by my son Jim, has had well over 72,000 internet views world-wide. And this is what started the Titan craze. His link is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/themightyjimbo/

I have had offers from European Sports teams to use his image. I had a Japanese television station want to come to my house and video Titan for a special they were doing on dogs. National Geographic's Dog Town contacted me and wanted some video and a write up on Titan for their show. A Canadian artist, created a one and only water color of Titan, which was auctioned off for a charity.

With all of this notoriety, Titan has maintained his composure, and is still a down-to-earth Mastiff. The hell with the bright lights of Broadway, or wherever fame would take him.

To be honest, I just didn't want to deal with the crap that comes along with it. I have to work for a living. For a little while longer anyway.

We just have fun around here with Titan. No lights, cameras, action for us. Oops, wrong on that. LOTS of lights, cameras, and plenty of action, as you can see.

But moving on, spring time is here. And I just love the smell of Yankee's baseball in the spring. It smells like........Victory.

Later folks.......

Conception

Creation. Beginnings. A new birth.

Welcome to the first posting of Titan's Tale. Long over due.

I have been contemplating Titan having his own blog for some time. Many people have asked for it, and wondered why I didn't create this sooner. Others, well, didn't give a crap. Personally, I didn't think I would have the time, or the inclination, or even the writing ability. I still may not, but we shall see.

If only I could get Titan to write this stuff. Although, he will provide lots of input.

My thought is to regularly post the daily happenings around Titan's domain. It can be quite entertaining around here, and it's usually centered around this big, orange beastie. Oh, and one of his many, multi-colored bumpy balls.

Family, politics, running, the military, are all on the agenda. Nothing's sacred.

Just don't blame the editor.......
