My November and December tweets of the month featured more than 65 items each. For eight weeks, I was on fire. Alas, the fire has extinguished. This month’s 8days2amish haul is just 24 and, really, they’re not that great.
Ah, Twitter muse, you are fickle damsel.
I tried to weed out the really crappy ones and most of these are decent. Still, when I have a down month like this I always buoy my mood by reminding myself that no one really cares.
Afterall, it’s only Twitter.

• Really popular all-you-can-eat buffets are places where the crowd never thins.
• 138 years ago today, A.G. Bell was issued patent for first phone. Tell friends and speculate how they'd have sounded had he been named Horn.
• Many of us have love/hate relationships with our smart phones. We love having them, but hate knowing that you’re allowed to have one, too.
• Call me reactionary, but I have to figure they use one hell of a lot of hand sanitizer in a place called Germany.
• This is about the time of year when I always begin wondering why we have an Easter Bunny instead of an Easter Chicken.
• Malaysian air official says they're looking for a needle in the haystack. Seems to me they're still looking for the haystack.
• If I ever have money burning a hole in my pocket the first thing- I'm gonna do is rush out and buy some flame retardant pants.
• I’m so cheap I wish Latrobe had a Dutch restaurant so I could invite my wife to dinner and say, "Let's go Dutch!" and get out of paying.
• I’m so cheap my idea of taking my wife to a fancy restaurant is a place that does NOT have the robber-height tape on all the door frames.
• Made the bone-headed mistake of telling 7 year old my new garment is called a “Pea Coat.” Now she asks if I’m also wearing my Poop Pants.
• True dreamers fly kites with no strings attached.
• Remember, it's okay to cook on a spit, but never spit on your cook.
• I wonder if dentists ever feel sheepish resorting to occupational jargon. "Work today was really tough. Kind of like pulling teeth!”
• I hope someday to persuade Derek Jeter to draw me a little stick figure cartoon just so I can justifiably call it a Dandy Yankee doodle.
• I told a friend that careful mimes can be safe, but never sound. He accused me of thinking inside the box.
• I remember the good old days when all the airlines lost was your luggage.
• A clear, sharp mind is a brute impediment to enjoying so much of life's wonder and whimsy. I'm glad that's not one of my problems.

• How come only people entitled to blither seem to be idiots? Heard plenty of blithering newscasters. Been known to enjoy good blither myself.
• One of the great joys is watching 7 year old daughter playing and her unaware I'm watching her every move. Well, me and the NSA.

• US needs to appear strong in face of Russian aggression. I propose we invade ... Canada!
