The White House Correspondents’ dinner was last night.  This morning, the media are crowing over Teh Won’s funnies at the expense of Donald Trump.  Now I really don’t give a fig about Trump, but am under the impression that one of the dinner’s purposes was much like a roast, with the President on the hot… Continue reading

My sister just finished her first marathon.  She’d only really trained to 10 miles but finished at a very respectable time, which put her in the top forty percent of all females in the race.  What was really nice is I was getting text updates at various points during the race so I could keep… Continue reading
