Hello 8-8-08

In honor of the very auspicious day of 888, I went out to the local Chinese market to do a little shopping. I discovered all sorts of interesting food items, but my favorite had Hello Kitty on it! I just thought you might like me to share.

In the air

My philosophy (if you want to call it that) has always been that rumors should be looked at in mass and not just as one voice. This philosophy has served me pretty well over the years. But today I think I may break with my normal way of thinking and and accept this rumor [...]

Guest Appearance by…

For the next little bit I will be guest blogging for Lori over at MyWoodenSpoon.com while she is away at BlogHer Conference (hell yeah I am jealous - I wanted to go this year - oh well). Yes it is a recipe blog and yes I can cook enough to come up with a recipe [...]

Gone to the dogs

Every once in a very great while you run into something that rings so incredibly true that you must pass it along to others. Today I stumbled on this little bit of truth - just sitting around waiting for someone to tell others about it:

Tornadoes up my alley

Having spent most of my life in Oklahoma, I don’t spend too much time worrying about tornadoes. I know they are going to come here, so my house is not located in Moore (which has a 6 or 7 mile stretch that has been regularly wiped out by tornadoes). Right now Oklahoma is in the [...]

Lesbians of Lesbos

It seems that the some of the people of Lesbos are offended with anyone else being called a lesbian.
“The man spearheading the case, publisher Dimitris Lambrou, claims that international dominance of the word in its sexual context violates the human rights of the islanders, and disgraces them around the world.”
Personally, how exactly is it disgraceful [...]

More in passing

Last week my Aunt passed away. She was my Father’s last remaining sibling. She had been in the hospital for several weeks before she passed and I spent most all my free time there with her until her death. It was not something that I care to repeat anytime soon. Watching someone slip away day [...]
