The bad news really is when the grizzly hasn't eaten for a while.

The good news is that most bears are hibernating right now

The bad news is they sometimes wake up during the winter.

The good news is that there are enough goofballs in the world that own a gun and can't stay out of the woods to keep us all safe around here

The bad news is Mt. Ranier might explode, too!

The good news is that my children return to school this weekend.

The bad news is that means they won't be home to "help you." :)

The good news is that there is always the weekend for them to "help out"

The bad news is they often find other things going on that they want to do.

The good news is that my cold seems to be going away.

The bad news is that the cold usually finds it's way back eventually no matter how far you run from it

The good news is that Vicks, cough drops and Tylenol are usually available to help control the symptoms.

The bad news is that I was optimistic.

The good news is that being optimistic is always better than being pessimistic

The bad news is when the optimism is unfounded.
