So back in late November Kenny decided to switch to AT&T U-verse since it was finally available in our area. A month later we switched back to Comcast. I know, sounds crazy, right? After all the U-verse hoopla and knowing many satisfied friends who rave about their U-verse, we were simply underwhelmed with the service [...]
As we finish November and slowly recover from eating all that turkey last week, I’d like to post a few things for which I am thankful…
> Kenny – What can I say? He is an amazingly patient and supportive husband who doesn’t baby me and let me get away with too many things. He was [...]
My favorite childhood author, Madeleine L’Engle, passed away earlier this month. I read her Time Quartet when I was in late elementary/early middle school and devoured several more of her books that were not in the series. I had Kenny buy me the series again a couple of years but they had been collecting [...]
The sculpture in the mosaic is called The Sphere. It was situated at the base of the World Trade Center and survived the collapse of both towers. Its temporary home is in Battery Park but it will be moved back once the new towers are built.
It stands as a testament to the strength of the [...]
This will probably be my only commentary on the Virginia Tech tragedy but I wanted to post it. Robert Siegel, an NPR host, gave this two minute commentary that completely hits the mark on an issue that has been on my mind as I have heard and read the enormous amount of articles on the [...]
I am not a Beyoncé devotee nor have I ever even listened to her music (I only recognized 2 of the songs) but I had a chance to attend her concert last night via a friend who is a Rodeo volunteer. I must say that she is a wonderful performer. Her dance moves are athletic [...]
Seen on a bumper sticker this morning…
{insert name of school} Elementary…
…where all our students are honor roll students.
OK, this is too much. How much protecting do our children need? Life sucks, some kids are smarter than others, deal with it. We aren’t doing them any favors with this type of hand-holding and the kids need [...]
I watched Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life once again this weekend and have decided that I completely agree with their conclusion at “The End of the Film”… I truly believe that this is my life philosophy:
“Try and be nice to people,
avoid eating fat,
read a good book every now and then,
get some walking in,
and try [...]
Eight years ago when Kenny and I got married I actually had him OK with the idea of combining our family names to create a new hyphenated family name. He was fine with the concept and willing to do it but when we found out how difficult it was for a man to change his [...]
1) There would be a law put in place that mandated twice as many bathroom stalls for women as men in all new buildings.
2) There’d be a TiVo in every home!
3) Pets would count as dependants and owners would get tax benefits. Not as much as kids but they should get something!
4) Spammers would be [...]
