How was your holiday weekend? How was the 4th or Canada Day for you? To paraphrase Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes, the time of my life was had this weekend. It started Friday with time alone with the husband. Saturday was the farmer’s market in the morning and the pool in the afternoon. Sunday was…

If Weekends Were Idle and Work Weeks Were Busy…
It’s happened again. I’ve come back to the work week happy for the break in activity. The stepdaughter came for a three-day visit, so we were happily preoccupied from Friday through yesterday. We had time to work in the garden, though. It was wet at times and warm – high 70s – but the humidity…
Things That Make My Head Explode Redux
What I’m reading: Inishfallen Fare Thee Well by Sean O’CaseyWhat’s on the iPod: The Sweetest Thing by U2 It’s Friday, and it’s time for my semi-regular brain dump of all those things that just singe my eyes and fry my brain cells. I’m talking about the things that make my head explode – the usual…
Things That Make My Head Explode
Ahhh….. Lent is over. I will now resume my usual level of skepticism and pointing out of major stupidity and disgust. I was getting used to the kinder, gentler life, but some things just ache for outrage and complaint. For example: AOHELL: Kathy Kehrli over at Screw You! pointed out this move by AOL, in…
Meltdowns and Ensuing Mayhem
By now I hope I’m sporting my “eh” lingo and fighting off the urge to eat peameal bacon. I’m also hoping we were able to score hockey tickets while in Vancouver, but I’m not holding out too much hope. A Twitter colleague sent over an interesting link. It’s an Internet-based meltdown of an author over…
Nice Day for a White Wedding…
Did anyone hear rumor about some big to-do over in Great Britain? It can’t be hockey, so I don’t know… The press coverage over this was a bit over-the-top, but at least it detracted from the birth-certificate fiasco. I loved the headline in the London newspaper yesterday: The Day America Took Leave of Its Senses….

What’s on the iPod: Restless by Chris Bathgate I hope your weekend was wonderful – mine was despite lots of rain. I drove back home and spent time with the parents, the sister and her family, and some special visitors. My dad’s brother, his wife, and stepdaughter were back from San Diego. It was the…
The Finish Line
What’s on the iPod: Summertime by Kenny Chesney Got a great deal done yesterday despite a slightly interrupted day. I managed an interview, a resume, an article (800 words), and an oil change (paid for it this time – drat!). I wanted to do more, but I needed to pack. I’m going back home for…

What I’m reading: Inishfallen Fare Thee Well by Sean O’CaseyWhat’s on the iPod: Roll Away Your Stone by Mumford & Sons How was your weekend? We managed to get nothing done on Saturday (amen) thanks to heavy rains. Our trip to Macy’s for their sale proved to be the repeated thought of thousands of other…
Randomness on a Friday
What I’m reading: Inishfallen, Fare Thee Well by Sean O’Casey What’s on the iPod: Sweet Sophia by Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers Yesterday was gorgeous. Sun was out, birds chirping, flowers in bloom…. too bad I was stuck inside working. I did manage to get to the park at lunchtime and put in a mile…
