I'm listening to Air America and the host Ron Kuby is doing a segment on the media's obsession with "flip flopping" this election cycle. Where did I hear that before? 🙂 Did I mention the mosquito bites? The ones I got Friday evening while chatting outside in the twilight? Oh, they look horrible and they... Continue Reading →
“Stupid should hurt”
The title is a tweet I received this morning from Terry (twitter name shortstack81) that made me chuckle all morning. No kidding Terry! I so GET the emotion behind that quote. Especially this past three months at work while covering the vacated job I dealt with all manner of stupid. And it *did* hurt -... Continue Reading →
I need some ginko
Right? Isn't that the stuff to keep your mind sharp? Well, I need it because mine is as dull...well...let's just say that I stopped typing right there at the word dull because I got an email here at work which needed a quick reponse, then I completely forgot I started this while having my morning...

I blame the cats
My plan this morning was to walk to complete my chores. Walk to Starbucks, walk to the PO box, walk to the dry cleaners. The dry cleaner part was going to make it a challenge because I have a lot to drop off. But, I could manage it spread out between two of my reusable... Continue Reading →
Goodbye Mi-KEY. Hello Cooperstown.
Yesterday, one of the greatest hitting catchers of all time announced his retirement. Mike Piazza. Mi-KEY to me. He started off as an LA Dodger back when I still claimed to be bleeding Dodger Blue. My love of the Dodgers was waning as I had been in San Diego long enough that the Padres were... Continue Reading →
Fascinating fact for the day
Check out this article on the analysis of the above signatures. The very last tidbit is the one that I thought was pretty fascinating: But, interestingly enough, Obama and McCain are lefties -- just like four out of five US presidents immediately before them: Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr and Bill Clinton. Lefties... Continue Reading →
Here comes the sun!
In typical So Cal spring fashion, we are back to sunshine and heat this weekend. We keep alternating between heat and cold in April/May. Makes weekend clothing planning a real challenge! At least there is no May Gray so far. A friend is in town from NY and when he was here last year all... Continue Reading →
Better late than never?
I just put in the movie Pursuit of Happiness to watch while coding grant forms. Out of curiosity I checked my Netflix queue to see when I received this. (blush) May 2, 2007. Whoopsie!
This week in politics – The (W)right Reverend Edition
Yes, I know I was going to post dueling book reviews this week, but again, something more worthy of commentary has come up. At first I had not thought I would have anything to say about the Jeremiah Wright controversy. Mostly because organized religion is not a part of my life so I would be... Continue Reading →
Another mystery for you to solve
My workplace has become very entertaining. Earlier this week we had the Mystery of the Missing Phone Chord. Last month we had the Mystery of the Scuff Mark. Today we have another bathroom mystery. It's the middle of the day, the janitors have not come around and wont until after hours. So eliminate that from... Continue Reading →
