Recently as I was coming back home from a day at Longwood Gardens I passed a sign I had seen before. Though I had seen it before each time I pass it, it makes me laugh. The sign is for Christ's Home for Children. I am sure that they are a good organization but their sign makes me laugh. It says "Christ's Home Office". That always makes me wonder if Jesus is sitting right off of Rt 30 in Paradise, PA.
The other one I saw recently is on the outside of The Village in Lancaster. The sign is advertising that they will be closed for the upcoming holiday and upcoming bands. But if you glance quick it looks like it says, Closed July 10 No Apology. OK you're closed but I don't need your attitude. But in reality it says:
July 3
Closed
July 10
No Apology
Still it made me look twice and get a laugh out of it. So for that I say thank you.

Woody's Movie Review 41
Here we go again, more movies for your perusal.
First is the long anticipated movie "Blind Side" starring Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. I may be the last person to see this movie but that's OK. It was pretty good. However I was hoping for more football and less drama. Bullock plays a New Orleans woman who invites an underprivileged young man into her home and her life. 4 penguins.
Next is "From Paris with Love" starring John Travolta. Travolta plays a spy who is in Paris to stop a terrorist plot. He does have the help of a budding spy. The bullets start fly almost immediately. The body count goes up. But to me the story is lacking. 3 Penguins.
"The Road" is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie. Viggo Mortensen plays a father trying to get his son to safety after some event has killed off many of the population. The ones that survived are no cannibals. The story was weak and the acting was too. Some of the scenes were a bit much to take too. 2 penguins.
Lastly we have "Pirate Radio" starring Philip Seymour Hoffman. It is the true (?) story of a bunch of ships off the coast of England broadcasting radio signals. The music they were playing was not allowed on regular radio, hence the name. It is interesting but somewhat crude. 3 penguins.

My New Book
I have decided to write a book. It will be titled Kevin Wood's Guide to Emotions: Good, Bad and 98 others.
It has recently come to my attention that (hold on to your hats men) there are more than just 2 emotions. I know! I was shocked too. And apparently hungry may not be one. Any way the subject of my book will be to inform people (mostly men) about these other 98 emotional words. I will also delve into the myth that OK, Fine and Great are all synonyms. Now I also have come up with a brand new communication system that uses numbers. What man can't use numbers. You come home, you've had a hard day and your wife says "How are you?" And instead of just saying "Good, I'll have a cold drink." now you can say "Good, 83, I'll have a cold beer.". See the difference, fantastic. If I can help just one man, it will be worth it. I will with each book include an easy to read wall poster and handy laminated pocket reference for easy emotional communication. After reading my book you will not only be better equipped to communicate with anyone but you will also be $39.99 poorer. Laminations aren't cheap my friend. So all in all everybody wins. So run out soon to your local bookstore. You know the one it's next to the beer distributor and across the street from that place that sells fried dough on a stick. Man I'm hungry now. Well happy emotions, and if my system doesn't work for you you can take comfort in the fact that I still get to keep the $39.99.
