I Deny All Charges

My dear wife has been pestering asking me to post this; so, to get her off my back because I’ll do anything for her, here it is. Please bear in mind that she has been under a great deal of stress lately and may not have been thinking clearly.

Thirsty caught cheating

Yes, as terrible as it is to have your illusions shattered, it is true.

The Thirsty Theologian has been caught red handed, in the act, hand-in-the-cookie-jar caught! I, Mrs. Thirsty, was casually strolling by the office tonight and happened to stop in only to see a computer page quickly disappear and be replaced by another scholarly looking page with writing and computer language that we novices don’t understand. It was only through my superior powers of observation that I noticed a minimized tab at the bottom of the computer that read DVD Player. Then the jig was up. I knew that he was guilty. That’s right, guilty.

We had recently been watching the first season of The Andy Griffith Show, and it was a family event. Once in a while, when the work was done, we would gather round and watch an episode or two. Then, today the second season arrived in the mail and that’s all it took. While I was slaving away making tater-tot hotdish (tater-tots were on sale), he was on the computer with the sound turned down low, sneaking a few episodes while I thought he was working industriously at his blog. All I can say to those wives out there who have husbands who blog is, “Beware! This could happen to your man, too. It is a good thing to be on guard. Sin could be crouching at the door.”

It’s not like it sounds. I was doing research.

She was working and you were surreptitiously watching Andy Griffith? Have you no shame?

Research indeed... its a good thing she came by when she did. These things have to be nipped in the bud!

Is no one on my side? Can't I get the benefit of the doubt?

You have a good wife to keep your feet to the fire.

Man I love Andy Griffith. I don't know if like country, but have you ever heard this song?

Mayberry
Sometimes it feels like this world is spinning faster
Than it did in the old days
So naturally, we have more natural disasters
From the strain of a fast pace
Sunday was a day of rest
Now, it’s one more day for progress
And we can’t slow down ‘cause more is best
It’s all an endless process

(Well) I miss Mayberry
Sitting on the porch drinking ice-cold cherry Coke
Where everything is black and white
Picking on a six string
Where people pass by and you call them by their first name
Watching the clouds roll by
Bye, bye

Sometimes I can hear this old earth shouting
Through the trees as the wind blows
That’s when I climb up here on this mountain
To look through God’s window
Now I can’t fly
But I got two feet that get me high up here
Above the noise and city streets
My worries disappear


Sometimes I dream I’m driving down an old dirt road
Not even listed on a map
I pass a dad and son carrying a fishing pole
But I always wake up every time I try to turn back

Bye, bye
(I miss Mayberry, I miss Mayberry)

I think I have heard that.

One of the great things about Andy Griffith is that, while the rest of America was caught up in Vietnam, Mayberry was a completely peaceful world, without hippies, where the only mind-altering substances were produced in illegal hillbilly stills.

David, you were studying up so you can review that "Andy Griffith Bible Study" they have out now right! Yep, I knew it ... you're as solid as a rock. Just stay away from www.mayberry.com please!

Oh, the shame, David. Truly disappointing.

I wonder how Andy would handle the discipline you so rightly deserve...

Sounds like something my husband would be caught doing. But then again, if that's the "worst" thing you are looking at on the internet...you're okay!

David - does this help at all?

Yeah,that's me. I've learned my lesson.
