Don’t Gopher McCain
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 […]

Raincheck Days and Wednesdays Always Get Me Down
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.

The World’s Gone Crazy
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 […]

Welcome to the Grand Re-Opening!
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!
