Vacation: The Road To Adventure

It seems that TV shows go on hiatus earlier than ever these days, and in the past few weeks several of my favorites have concluded for the summer. I mentioned this to Mrs. C. and she reminded me that Chubby Chatterbox was doing the same thing since we were flying off to Turkey. The hope that my favorite TV programs will return is matched by my hope that you, my fellow Chubby Chasers, will flock back when we return. If Istanbul and the rest of Turkey live up to our expectations, I promise to reward you with some interesting tales. And if Turkey doesn’t live up to our expectations, the stories will be even better.


A few weeks ago I wrote a post that I thought would be appropriate for Memorial Day, and my son CJ has promised to post it for me. It’s called That Damn War! and it’s a true story about the one and only time I ever heard my father swear. I’ve also included seven links to my favorite posts that I think you might enjoy while I’m gone. These are personal favorites and not those that have received the most comments.


Well, I guess that’s everything for now. Time to go help Mrs. Chatterbox fill the suitcases. She’s an Army brat and lives to pack, but I can at least toss my toothbrush in a suitcase.

I hear camels spit; well, so do I. See you all in three weeks.

  1. Have fun on your vacation. Just try not to end up in a Turkish prison; I hear those are pretty rough.

  4. Oh, my, can't wait for the tales. And yes, camels do spit, but generally only if they are upset. Of course, if someone is swatting them, telling them to kush, they might not be in a great mood... Enjoy yourselves!!!

  6. Hey, I don't want to unduly worry you about something before your trip, but that's SEVEN posts, OK? Are we supposed to pick the best six from those seven? I'm confused now. You'd better not go.

  10. I'm just curious. You're not posting on vacation because 1) you don't have a smart phone? or 2) you just want to take a break from entertaining your blog fans? In either case, have a great time. Bon voyage ... or whatever the equivalent for that is in Turkish.

  11. You have some nerve, taking off and leaving me even more alone. Camels spit if they're taken away from their mothers too soon. If a camel spits at you, then you should feel sorry for that camel.

    Love,

  20. Morning/evening/hullo fellow bloggers,

    SORRY< SORRY< SORRY<SORRY

    I decided to change my blog name because sarchasm2 was confusing me with my other local blog sarchasm and I seem to have inadvertently deleted the name sarchasm2 but the blog still exists under comedyincrisis.wordpress.com

    I am going to try to reconnect with all the blogs I’ve followed so please bear with me and follow me back.

    I am still pretty new to wordpress and I got too clever or stupid for my own good.

    Sorry again

  23. the bbc are famous for messing around with programmes that you like - i think they see it as un british to produce anything that people actually want to watch, so as soon as people tune in they move it
