One Moment In Time

In the vast number of tributes and reflections today, this is just another. I remember walking into my office, here in Miami, when the first plane struck the World Trade Center in New York, thousands of miles away. The sheer implausibility and ridiculousness of even the possibility of that act made even the concept that [...]

Read This Before School This Morning

With all the back and forth nonsense about President Obama’s speech to kids, this morning, read it now. Then decide. Now, I ask you: Why wouldn’t you want your kids to hear this? I’ve read the speech, and I just can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want their child(ren) to hear it. Well, yes I can. [...]

They’ve Got Stones, Man

I’m not a huge fan of Greenpeace – they’re frequently reckless, dangerous, and frankly, violent. And I stand by what I’ve said before, that I brook no extremists of any stripe, even when I agree with the cause. So you won’t find any links to their website here. This time, well… They managed to get [...]

Survivor: Republican Edition

History! – Part 2

Photo courtesy PDPhoto.org Its… Finally… Almost… Over…. Where will you be when President Obama takes the oath of office? Me? I’ll be at work, dammit. They say they’ll have TVs available, but no cable. Sucks. But, as the faux Time Magazine cover I posted last week states triumphantly, our national nightmare is nearly over. Well, [...]

But Wait – There’s More

No, don’t start here – scroll down to the next post and start there. Then come back. You know, when I sat down to write this, I knew everything I wanted to write. And then it left me. So forgive me if I ramble a bit. It might come back to me. Or not. So, [...]

Bits ‘n Pieces

There are so many potential posts rattling around in my brain at the moment that it’s difficult to pick one topic. But there are lots of things that probably don’t justify an entire post to themselves, or maybe do, but right now I just want to throw some stuff out there. And so, the first [...]

Rahmbo

On Rosh Hashana (the Jewish New Year), several weeks ago, MJ and I went to my brother’s house for the traditional holiday dinner. I discovered several nasty things about my family that evening. Not about my brother, mind you, but his wife, her sister, and her husband. Namely, that my sister-in-law’s sister’s husband is a [...]

We went over to the Shoes’ last night for a little viewing party with Miz Shoes, the RLA, Star, the Surrogate Daughter #3 (hers, not mine), Yogi and BooBoo (don’t ask – they chose their own names). We ate. We [...]
