Someone's in the kitchen with Larry...

And it's not me! It is Colin the dog and Ted the cat, they're keeping a close watch in case something falls to the floor. Tomorrow is my 60th birthday so Larry is cooking up beef stroganoff and Hungrian goulash for dinner tomorrow night. We're having a dinner party for... Continue reading

Let's see, they nearly bankrupted the country

but they're thinking about suing the government. That would be AIG. Read it and weep. It somehow seems the more things change the more they stay the same! Continue reading

Brave new world?

I came across this link on Facebook. It's about sexting, young women and young men. It's also about self respect on both sides of the equation. I can't explain it nearly as eloquently as the writer of the piece so go read it. Continue reading

I fear Romney/Ryan being elected, it keeps me awake at night. I fear for my health, safety and happiness and that of my family and friends. I fear what could happen to the Supreme Court, especially with Robert Bork as an advisor on the Court. I fear my 21 year... Continue reading

My mouth swooned...

We spent part of the afternoon at the 2012 Sonoma County Harvest Fair. It is a showcase for the county's agriculture that features an extensive winetasting.

The debate - in summary

Borrowed from Gil Gross, Newstalk 910 radio: Hi, I’m Jim Lehrer from the News Hour, which if Mitt Romney gets a hold of it would be the News Ten Minutes, much of it a Waltons’ special where the family reunites and eats a holiday dinner of stuffed roasted Big Bird,... Continue reading

What is it about facebook?

I am continually amazed at the foul language and outright rudeness of many of the posters. Don't get me wrong I can swear with the best of them but to me it lowers the level of discourse. Then again I don't suppose you go to facebook for intelligent discourse. Continue reading

Leaves me speechless

Or rather the speech I have should not be published. I talking about Todd Akin the current Representative from Missouri and his "legitimate rape" comments yesterday.
