Yesterday was my parents’ 35th wedding anniversary. Wow! Thirty-five years! That is an amazingly long time. I’m proud of their commitment to each other, and their example to me of how a loving, healthy marriage should look. I hope that if/when I get married, I can be as successful and wise as they are. Congratulations, [...]

Finally. The big day is here. I hope you were all able to vote. It will really be nice to be done with this election - it seems as if it’s lasted FOREVER. The good thing about this specific election is that no matter who wins, history will be made. We will either have the [...]

My apologies…I couldn’t resist the wordplay.
Well, I watched the entire debate last night, and I confess myself disappointed. I was waiting, no, hoping for some comedic gems from Gov. Palin. She did a lot better than I thought she would.
Now before I go into my thoughts about the debate, I have to say this: I [...]

This election, please don’t vote for John McCain. Pretty please. Pretty, pretty please. I don’t say this for political reasons (though now I think of it, I’m not voting McCain for those reasons, too).
No, the reason I ask you not to vote for him is that I heard a clip of him speaking on NPR [...]

My friend “L” is one of the most down-to-earth, level-headed, straight-forward people I know. She is very knowledgable about a wide range of subjects, and anything she doesn’t know, she researches studiously. When she makes choices - whether it be about food, shopping, life decisions, etc. - they are always well-informed and well-researched.
You’d think a [...]

I’ve added a Dilbert comic viewer to my site (thanks for the widget, Scott Adams!)- if you scroll down the page on the right-hand side, you’ll see it. Dilbert is one of my all-time favorite comics, and perhaps it will become yours, too! Scott Adams is the author of Dilbert, and also has a blog [...]

It’s mid-year review time for most of the people in my department. We have a system here where the employee writes their own review, then meets with their supervisor to go over it and make changes and get approval. The format has ten areas on which the employee reviews himself/herself: change, results, collaboration, customers, people, interpersonal, strategy, [...]

Ah, yes, Cinco de Mayo. The day when Americans celebrate some sort of event that probably happened someplace south of Texas, and had something to do with mayonnaise. Many people will use this holiday to get ridiculously drunk and eat too much Taco Bell. It’s kind of like a spicy St. Patrick’s day.
Me? I think [...]

This business with the cyclone in Myanmar reminds me of the 2004 tsunami and Hurricane Katrina - it seems like the death toll goes up each time you hear about it. First, 351 people had been reported killed by the cyclone. Then the toll jumped to 3-4,000. Now they think that over 10,000 may be [...]

I’ve got a spiffy new design, a caffeine-imbibing squirrel, and the determination to update my blog more often! What a trifecta! Hopefully I will be able to win back your readership after my semi-hiatus. Let me know how you like the look!
