    Thanks for your posts, Oubliette and LisaRose!

    Excellent!

    Nice comment about inspiration toward creativity, Lisa. A little student of mine has asked to be taken to an art museum in order to become inspired!

    Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read

    Okay, I'll play.

    Beside a dog, a book is man's best friend. But what about in front of a dog, or behind it?

    Welcome, piztjw!

    Good one!

    Interesting re beside/besides:

    Beside -- as noted above -- means "at the side of," yet besides similarly means "along the side of." However, besides may indicate "in addition to." Therefore, "Besides (i.e., in addition to) a dog, a book is a man's best friend," makes more sense grammatically, but what you offered is a humorous twist that carries the day [how does one carry the day?].

    THANKS!

    I would suggest a nice Day Bag. Macy's has this beautiful leather bag from Kenneth Cole:

    It's stylish and very practical.
