I woke up this morning with a very, very, old commercial tune. "They're off and running at Hollywood Park." I don't ever remember going to that park.

I don't remember the tune, but I do like the way Trevor Denman calls the races @ Hollywood Park. That's his catch phrase " they're off and running......."

Sometimes when I'm trying to get out of the house and I can't get off the phone, I find myself singing that commercial "Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go!"

One time when I was listening to a chronic whiner I found myself singing a line from "Stop your Sobbing." As in get the hint, honey? Not sure if she got the hint, or if she thought I was listening to my i-pod. But it made me feel better.

If I try to sing in public, I might get arrested...

I've prepared for a lot of presentations this way. It's amazing what crazy things you can say to yourself just because you're holding a cell phone. And nobody will give you a second glance.
Just make sure it's turned off! Might be embarrassing if it rang in mid-speech.

Anyway, like I told my cat, if you have a pet, you're never really talking to yourself!

Sing it? Are you kidding? All the crazies on the street corners downtown sing little songs to themselves and end up in the drunk tank.

No thanks.

I'll mutter to myself and end up in the nut house. Better food. Better drugs.

Hmmm. . . Well, usually when I "talk" to myself out loud, it's usually some nasty name-calling from anger. So to add a lilt to "You stupid . . . . . " Ain't gonna type the words here!

I cannot sing at all so if I started singing in public people would just run away from me!...LOL.
