keeping it together

overheard convo.
john doe: "hey man what have you been up to?"
joe schmo: "about 350."

"Remember those monk chant cds they would try to sell you on television? Talk about keeping the band together."

So the other day I noticed a sunflower in a crappy corner with a telephone pole surrounded by trash (beer cans, wrappers....a tv) and naturally I assumed it had no home or owner and decided to well...take it with me! I went back, grabbed the shovel, ran back again, dug it out, and walked successfully home with a shovel in one hand and a living sunflower in the other. That day I adopted my first sunflower ..and looked slightly ridiculous doing it..but now it has a suitable home and I have a pretty flower. ( I just hope it wasnt some memorial plant or something)
