Mister and I were a bit busy this past week, and then there were the danged Oscars to boot. Because we love the Oscars (me a bit more than he), we decided to try a creative endeavor with…
Troubled Waters
I don’t usually write about politics, as I just don’t want to. It isn’t that I don’t have thoughts or feelings; I most certainly do. But I try to keep that out of this forum, as I…
Boots and Pants and Boots and Pants and Boots and Pants…
If you live in America and have a television, perhaps you’ve seen the Geico commercials featuring a talking pig. My current fave of this oeuvre shows the pig dealing with his on-line insurance business then re-focusing on his…

Until We Meet Again
Another Olympics Games, closed. I relished these winter sports, as I do every 4 years. Not only do I admire watching the athletes display their skills (skills they’ve honed for-practically-ever), I also love-love-love the sportsmanship. For though examples…
Harold Ramis – Rest In Peace
I had a crush on him. I did. It started with “Stripes.” He was cute, sure. But what I liked about him was the brain. No matter how dorky his character may have been, that brain was…
