Scared Awake
Ellie and I fell asleep in the recliner tonight. When I woke up Letterman was on, and in my groggy mind it looked as if he was interviewing a tanned skeleton that was wearing a wig. I grabbed the remote and hit “info,” and I found out that the creature in the chair was not […]
Edwards To Drop Out Of The Race?!
This news is still developing, but apparently John Edwards will announce this afternoon at 1 P.M. EST that he will be dropping out of the race. An “aide” inside his campaign claims that Edwards will not immediately back either Obama or Hillary. Another says that whatever he does he will not be supporting Hillary. Those […]
A Virtual Planetoid
I did not watch the Presidential address last night. I was gonna, but the flounder episode of “Good Eats” came on, and AB will always trump Bush (and no, I do not think my priorities are askew). But I did read the transcript of it this morning while I was drinking my coffee. Coffee which, […]

A Fly In The Ointment
So here’s the thing: I’ve obviously been gone for a while. I haven’t meant to be, so I’m very sorry. But if it’s any consolation, I have a very good reason. During Christmas Leigh was working in Los Angeles for a States-based Japanese company. My semester didn’t end until around December 15th, so as soon […]
