I’m flattered. Not only has Dan put me side by side with Tom Tomorrow, but he’s referred to me as “famous to (my) readers.” This is the second time I’ve been accused of such a thing in a public forum (that I know of). I read Dan’s post today, the same day that Jonty IM’d […]

It’s right around 20 degrees outside this morning. I just walked the dogs. The difference between 40, where it’s been, on average, pretty much since October, and 20, is significant, especially with the wind chill, which makes it feel even colder. 20 is face-numbingly cold; 40 is go outside in flip-flops weather. 20 is too […]

It’s all about the Benjamins. Politics, like many other things in life, gets its lifeblood from money. We can all make contributions directly to the political candidate or party of choice, but think about this: Every time you go to a store, buy gas, pay your utility bills, you’re indirectly making a contribution to a […]

My great aunt Nora died last night after 86 incredible years on this planet. She lived an amazing life and had a profound effect on everyone she met. She was always the life of the party and appreciated being alive each and every day. Born in 1918, the year of the influenza pandemic, Nora fondly […]

There’s nothing that energizes me quite like snow. And not too long ago (it’s about 8am right now) the wonderful white flakes began to appear. I threw on my snow pants (which I tend to wear all winter long), coat, and ran outside to frolick. I covered our air conditioning unit with the car cover […]

I spent a good part of my Thanksgiving break and the early part of this week revamping my two PCs — backing up, reformatting, partitioning, reinstalling Windows XP. It was the biggest pain in the ass and truly made me appreciate even more the beauty, simplicity, and superiority that is the Mac OS. After much […]
