Well, Tom, for just a few dollars more than a swiss army knife, you could have a folding Ka-Bar that fits in your pocket, scores torts and maintains your image. A bread knife...yetch!

Today's mail delivered a package from Swiss Colony from my Mother.
Sometimes I'm good and actually wait to open these early gifts.
However, this one was clearly marked "REFRIGERATE IMMEDIATELY !  PERISHABLE ! ".
Well heavens, we don't want the goodies to perish so I immediately refrigerated.
Then I got thinking, wow, it's 2 weeks till Christmas.
What if we lose power ?
What if the Mayans were right ?
I better consider the well being of what turns out to be a Tort.
The instructions say, "To cut Tort, lay on side, score frosting with heated serrated blade, repeat."
I know in threads on knives that I have mentioned my distaste for serrated blades.  Hmmm , what to do ?
The only serrated edge I own is the saw blade on my Swiss Army knife.
It ain't pretty, but it sure is tasty 
ADAPT - IMPROVISE - OVERCOME !

You made the right critical decision, Tom, but how did you manage to do all that while laying on your side?

I assumed they meant to lay the cake on it's side, since I had no frosting on me to cut and the hot blade would have hurt.
You really need to apply some critical thinking to deal with these situations.

Okay, not to change the subject, but this is the only one I'll be getting as far as I know.
I got it this morning, and I think it's lovely.. You can have some too..

A gift I witnessed today got me to thinking that there is hope for America.  I was in the local gas station/convenience store when an elderly lady was struggling to put a small quantity of gas in her car.  A younger guy was at the same pump filling his truck.  The young man took the nozzle from her, filled her tank, and told her Merry Christmas.  The fill up was on him.  His act of kindness and generosity nearly brought tears to my eyes.

This flash mob video has been out there awhile and always brings a smile.

Truly a great thing to hear of....thanks. After the last few weeks (several funerals and sickness), something like this is moving to to the spirit to read.

We should all try to endeavor to perform some random act of kindness for others.
