… when there is so much news going on and so many interesting things to read but you just can’t seem to make the words come out of your brain and onto the screen?  I’m having one of those days.  So I’m doing a post-Valentine’s post with the Three Dog Night in lieu of true… Continue reading

I’m not one for Valentine’s Day particularly.  I don’t like flowers–I think they are prettier in-situ than sitting on the table where the cats can eat them and then throw them up somewhere else.  I’m not one for cards since I can never seem to find the one that speaks my heart (or to buy… Continue reading

Obama, who apparently really has no idea about American culture, not being raised here and all, said something about Gibbs (who is thankfully leaving the White House) ‘taking one for the gipper‘ (by giving up his tie).  Now anyone familiar with American idiom and quotes knows that a person will “win just one for the… Continue reading

So please forgive me a little whine with dinner (I’ll get the cheese later).  Bottom line, I hate my job so I’ve been seeking employment elsewhere.  Interviewed for a job that looked like they read my resume before they wrote the job description.  Found out today I didn’t get it.  Not a happy camper but… Continue reading
