Sloppy Joe

To the tune of Purple Rain by Prince

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you eating
I only wanted to see you eating a big Sloppy Joe

Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
I only wanted to see you with a big old Sloppy Joe

I never wanted to be your weekend sandwich
I wanted you each day with some kind of fries
Baby I could never choose to eat another
It's such a shame my cholesterol had to rise

Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
I only wanted to see you eating a big Sloppy Joe

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you too
You say you’re thinking vegan
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to a Sloppy Joe

Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
I only want to see you, only want to see you
with a Sloppy Joe


Woo, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo, hoo-ooh
Sloppy Joe-ho,oh-oh-oh-oh

Woo, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo, hoo-ooh
Slop-py . . .

After eating Sloppy Joe's for dinner the other night, I started messing around singing the Purple Rain chorus using the words, "Sloppy Joe." My youngest daughter picked it right up. It works well. Try the full song! Also, you might try "Brush brush brush, brush brush brush, brush your teeth" to the tune of "Shake Your Booty" by KC and the Sunshine Band. I guess I like to redeem old songs for a slightly higher purpose.

My Reflections on My UPS Career on Founders Day

We were given a choice whether or not those of us who were having a milestone service year wanted to speak on Founders Day in our department meeting. Since the one consistent feedback I have gotten during my entire 25-year career at UPS was that I don’t speak up enough in meetings, I thought I would make up for the whole thing here today. No one intends to have a long career at UPS. You come to work at UPS as a temporary thing while you are planning your life. Those plans do not include UPS. We come for the benefits, the tuition assistance, the non-standard hours that don’t interfere with classes or our other real jobs. Parents don’t envision their kids growing up and working for UPS. I think these are just the basic realities of life. I worked the majority of my career in Information Services Learning & Development or Corp HR Learning & Development. I would have never lasted 25 years had I been in Operations. I know exactly how long I would have lasted in Operations had I wo...

My Prayer Life Is Like, "Whack" (-a-Mole)

 I’ve been a practicing Christian my entire adult life, and one would think that would result in a certain level of proficiency in certain practices such as what often occurs when one plays golf, tennis, or does various other activities on a regular basis. Prayer is not like this for me though. Prayer is like whack-a-mole. As soon as I knock down a mole that pops up--some sort of obstacle to my praying--another mole rises in its place. "Whack-a-mole" is exactly how I would describe my prayer life, a daily whacking away at things that prevent prayer.

The Power of Public Prayers

“Jewish law prefers that Jews pray communally rather than privately.” Joseph Telushkin, “Minyan,” in  Jewish Literacy , 719. I’ve been thinking about this notion for a few days after I read it because I get the impression that most of the Christians I know pray individually and about their own self interests more than anything else. I know this is true of me. But Telushkin, reiterating the teachings of the rabbis in connecting Jewish prayer to the concept of  minyan , where the minimum number of males required to conduct a worship service or say certain prayers is ten, says that public prayer prevents such personal expressions of self-interest. He says:  " . . . the rabbis apparently felt that public prayers are more apt to be offered for that which benefits the entire community, whereas individuals often pray for that which benefits only themselves, even if it be at the expense of someone else" (719). In Evangelical or Pentecostal services that I've attended, at some...
