Klaxons - It’s Not Over Yet - Official Music Video
I’ve been back and forth with this band, like some of their stuff, not all. But I’m really liking this video. And the song is growing on me. I do know one thing, these guys are way easy on the eyes [...]

Wishing everyone a safe, dry (maybe even sunny) and happy holiday.
Not to appear unpatriotic (because I am…

I got so much crap going on with doctors and appointments and phone calls that I’m boring the hell out of myself so I’m not going to bore you with it. Except that there isn’t much else going on in my life right now. I’m tired feeling like shit and wishing all the [...]

When I first met PD, he was way into martial arts, self-defense and all that. He always stressed to me how important it is to be aware of your surroundings at all times.

I’m waiting for a couple more responses to the “two groups” question for the sake of drawing some parallels maybe… but in the mean time, I’ll share this little story.
Bit of background first: You remember the dreaded medication I was on that made me mildly postal AND increased the hot flashes a hundredfold? Well, George, [...]

Yeah, the title is lame and so is the post but I think it’s funny and I wanted to share. Parental discretion is advised…

You guys seem to like my “varying degrees” posts. I’m thinking of doing some more of those but tonight I’m in a bit of a hurry and just wanted to write something quick.

I spent some time today thinking about our homes and wanted to ask a pertinent question that would invite some “audience participation.” I thought of asking y’all what your favorite room is in your house and why. I guess that’s as good a question as any.

It’s a pretty morning, not yet unbearably hot. Had the required coffee on the porch with the birds and my out-of-control wild flowers. Happy to find some quiet Think Time. Sorted out some issues; what I do and don’t have control over. What I can change and what I can’t. Sadly found that the list [...]

Just poppin’ in to say “Hi” and see how y’all are doin’. It is a sweltering 94 degrees here and I just may stay in tonight and enjoy the AC. It’s the kind of hot, that when you’re outside it’s hard to breathe and it makes you (ok, me) nauseous. Blecch.
Enjoying having The Kid here, [...]

So aboot 150 of us gathered in the front parking lot and walked for 20 minutes (2 laps around the building) and then enjoyed a nice bag lunch supplied by the company. [...]
