I like to roll my eyes. I roll my eyes at a lot of things, and a lot of people. I suppose it just comes down to the sheer amount of ridiculousness that I have to encounter on a daily basis. Take, for instance, that one of the “houseguests” on Big Brother 9 is a […]

Since my daughter stayed home from school today, I took her and my mother this really great Chinese buffet in the north part of the county. The best part about the buffet is that all along the back wall, they have the more authentic Chinese dishes. While I enjoy the steamed buns and few of […]

We don’t have it often here in Florida: sweater weather. In fact, this winter has been milder than most. Although we have had our share of cold days and nights, they rarely come in blocks of more than a couple of days. I never even stopped wearing sandals this winter.
So, it’s encouraging that here in […]

Spring Break means a lot more around here than you might think. To me, it means I need to avoid the beaches for at least a month and a half each year, because we are inundated with college students and vacationing families. The bridges are blocked, the roads are clogged and every condo hotel, and […]

Somehow, yet again, we have ended up with too many televisions in the house. Three TVs are just too many for a household with only three people living in it. Plus, I have three more in the storage unit. I’m not sure how it even happens. And, I know I have two away on Freecycle […]

I watched Jericho when it first came on last season. It was compelling, but it quickly turned convoluted and difficult to watch. When the show was cancelled, I was not terribly surprised.
Fans campaigned, though, and the network picked up the show for a second season. I thought perhaps with a new push of enthusiasm, it […]

I’m a blog-a-holic. I love reading blogs, because it allows me my daily fix into a world where anyone can be a journalist or a commentator. That’s my kind of world.
The Armand Rousso Green Business Blog has an article on British Columbia’s consumer based carbon tax, which will start in July. There are a lots of […]

I got prepared to scan in all of my tax information from 2006 and the documents I need to file for 2007 when I realized my scanner was no longer working. My dad had agreed to do my taxes for me (he is a tax professional) and wanted everything by tonight.
I checked all of my […]

It is common knowledge that the foolish boys who strap on bomb vests and blow themselves up in the name of religion are simply misinformed fluff-heads who actually believe that when they die they will become martyrs and be given 72 virgins. Nothing in the Koran specifically says anything at all about 72 virgins. That […]

Wow, it seems like you just can’t go through the morning paper anymore without reading how yet another teacher has become sexually involved with a student. The newest local case is that of 28-year-old Stephanie Marie Ragusa and a 14-year-old boy.
Let’s not even debate whether or not this is wrong. The kid is a minor; […]
