This has been asked before I’m sure. What is up with Pastis and the name Bob? It can’t be from a lack of imagination, he has that in spades. Afraid of offending someone? Unlikely. Someone should give him the ‘Big Book ’o Baby Names’ for inspiration. (Not a real book, I think)
My hurdle is lower: “A” house, comfortable amount of money, a decent car (checkmark!), and the ability to someday retire. I get why folks want an early retirement, but after taking a month off (bereavement leave because my mom passed from cancer), I realized I can’t stand not doing anything and not feeling productive. I like my job and I don’t see myself leaving for quite some time.

‘Early retirement’? For many, this means ‘death’. People who feel they don’t have a purpose in life tend to die early.

Good health, and just enough to cover expenses and a vacation.

Pig is not one to worry about the future seems like!

I’m not going to get that either. What’s a leftcover pizza? Leftrover? Left over? I’m pretty sure it’s a myth, like unicorns and mermaids.

No such thing as left over pizza at the Arbuckle house with Garfield around.

‘Leftover’? What s this strange, unknown word? Is it something good??

Today is National Smile Day. PBS is always good for a smile. However, leftover pizza is really hard to get. It is exceptionally rare.

Five for five. All of those 70 hours weeks paid off.

As a goal, leftover pizza has the ancillary benefit of requiring pizza for dinner the night before.

Being able to afford enough pizza to have leftovers is a big deal.

The Catch in Pig’s hopeful striving is that, in order to have leftover pizza, you have to have bought or baked a pizza to begin with….
