THE COLUMN
" HOUND SENSE"

" WHEN I HAVE CROSSED THE BAR".

...Taught the Hound the other day to jump over the bar of a high fence . I Just kept tossing an old BBQ rib on the other side of the fence and raising the bar every time he climbed higher.

It was kinda like a 'Houndy
Corporate
Ladder".

I would reward him with a little better bone every time he made a higher jump. Well pretty soon that Hound figured out, as the jump got higher, that it made a space for him to just slide under the bar real easy and take that 'ole BBQ rib  without havin' to work for it.

I have noticed that Hounds in general just love passing the bar. The word Bar can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. I think I have a right good handle on "The Bar".

Anyway, I got to thinking about those fancy corporate ladders and all those people climbing and climbing and the next thing you know they can easily slide under the bar and they don't have to really work.

Then the second next thing you know is, they need a "golden parachute", just in case anyone would actually ask 'em to climb as high as they are supposed to be to obtain that bone.

Now a hound is born to be cunning on the Hunt, that is his job in life. I just don't know 'bout those other people sliding under the bar like that while to rest of us are suspiciously eying 'buy one get one free'deals.

BUT I do know THERE IS ANOTHER kinda Bar and that is the one Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote about in his poem called
"Crossing the Bar"..

Tennyson said
in his poem which is about dieing and then seeing
" I hope to see my Pilot's Face when I have crossed the bar".

Me? I am trying to turn in a good report card  for when I cross that bar. It sure ain't easy because I have so many opinions and all 'bout everything.

One of my opinions is, to my knowledge Nobody slides under any Bar set by
"The Almighty".

and I mean nobody.

so until i cross the bar please don't step on my blue suede boots.
I want to look nice when I get Home"

p.s.
Glory, may have lots of opinions, but all in all, she really is a well meaning girl with an average IQ ..

"HEART"

Glory Mae OLIVEHEART and she...
wants to know what does 'enantiodromia' mean?

SMOKIN' ED knows but he is holding out for the right moment.

They are sharing one order of chocolate covered strawberries, which is a great way to learn alot about someone without saying a word.

Location: "Delphine Blues Bistro" nestled by a small lake in the Shenendoah.The bar is sort of like a poor man's Hotel du Collectioneur. .
The Deco decor is distinguished by a brillant colored angular and
symetrical geommetric design masterfully painted on the ceiling. The Delphine's most outstanding qualities are elegance and privacy.

             >The set up<
We last left Ed and Glory at the Fearless Heart News parking lot after staff meeting. Ed has been competing to be Editor of "Hound Sense" leaving Glory Mae to write her romance column "Heart", which she writes in the third person even as we speak.

Ed wrote a couple of guest columns while he was away on a fishing trip and now he thinks he can write a better column. Most importantly,he figures working closely with Glory Mae cannot be a bad thing.
They are out after work supposedly to discuss the fact that The Editor Ambika has asked Glory Mae to use the word "enantiodromia" in a "Hound Sense" column. Glory does not have a clue what it means and Ed claims to know "all 'bout it".

Ed and Glory are wildly attracted to each other but have not really admitted it even to themselves. The competition is steep for the rights to "Hound Sense". Ed knew this opportunity to help Glory Mae understand the word 'enantiotromia' with a tete a tete away from the office required a fabulous setting like "The Delphine" Bistro..

Ed's ancient heavy Chevy car door shut with a thud, he
opened Glory Mae's car door and they went into the vintage Deco Bistro.

Glory Mae can feel Ed sitting next to her. He makes her edgy. Ed is smoking
a Jamaican cigar and watching Glory Mae in the polished bird's- eye maple veneer mirror so as not to stare too intently. Glory Mae looks down at her gold filigree etched WATCH and nervously winds it, lights a cigarette and French inhales.

Ed breaks the airtight tension by placing his hand on his heart and with a drop dead charming boyish grin sings:
" S' wonderful..."

Glory Mae laughs losing some of her edge and says:
"So you like Gershwin?"

Ed orders two vodka tonics. Glory Mae notices how fast he gets the waitress' attention. They both notice the piano player has launched into a marvelous rendition of "Rhapsody in Blue".

Ed retorted:
"I thought you just liked country music."

Glory Mae recoiled a little, placed her delicate hand on her pearls and said:
"How did you know I like Vodka and tonic? Now do not go making anymore assumptions 'bout me. As a person I run very deep, in fact I am a very complex person."

Ed with an incredibly masculine wisdom said:
"Not really"

Glory Mae turned her head down and aside, raised
one eye brow and said in an incredibly feminine way
" Oh Really?
