Like the Ghost of Christmas Past
Lots has happened in the months since I last wrote here. But, ever forward, as they say. I found myself, the last few weeks saying “That’s funny, I have to write that down” about things the kids said or when I made yet another major faux pa...
The Future
Hi…me again. Some people have said they had a difficult time finding me on Facebook. Click the link on the right sidebar under “Hunt Me Down.” And, I’ve been playing around with a new blog. The only way to get to it is b...
This Hole’s For You
Dangergirl and I have been doing the vacation thing in Oregon the past couple days. We saw Mount Shasta, Crater Lake, the Lava River Cave and Lava cinder cone outside of Bend, and a bunch of other stuff, culminating in a visit with one of my favori...
A Great Testimonial for FOX News
Victoria Jackson - remember her? Saturday Night Live alum from about a hundred years ago. Since then, she’s decided she’s a political commentator. Why not? I think I am some days, so why not her. But, I have to say - if only all...
Oregon, Here We Come
Been working my tuckus off around here (see, hanging out with my NY Jewish Goddess is rubbing off) and will be chillin’ this weekend. Headed to a barbeque at Legal Eagle’s just like last year. My Dangergirl will be off with her pups at ...
Creation Museum, Let’s Go Play With the Dinosaurs!!
I have to admit, the first thing that caught my attention was the sock/sandals guy in the photo. I thought for sure he must be some kind of nutwing fundamentalist—it had to be that or any white man over age 65 living in Florida, but noooo, he’s ...
Thought for the Day: The News and Jacko
I just can’t help but think if we invested even an iota of the concentrated energy we’ve invested in Michael Jackson this week on something else, we’d have already come up with a cure for cancer, figured out how to put a lid on Kim ...
10 Pounds of Shit
Move one weekend. Clean the old house and check out. Flip off neighbor for fun. Fly to Texas for a graduation the next weekend. Wonder why in the hell you can’t find anything on your desk. Have trouble squeezing the laptop between the junk an...
You Know You’re In Texas When…
Movin’ On
T-minus I dunno’ - about a day. I move. Again. The workmen are done for now - still a new project to finish in a week or so. But, after the carpet is laid tomorrow we can move in. At last. I put the bid in before my surgery. I can hea...
Shame on You California Supreme Court
At Last!
Champagne Lunch
I have worked with a team of consultants for the past three or so months on a special project. Today, we hope we are mostly done. I have been twisted every which way but Sunday and so have they. Our fearless leader broke out a bottle of bubbly ...
Spamalot
I’ve noticed a trend lately that the spammers are playing the blogging game. I know they were just sitting there trying to figure out a way to get SOMEONE to pay attention to them, when they happened onto the idea that if you appeal to the ego of t...
A Word About Marilyn Chambers
One of my friends likes to recount her unusual dreams to me. So, tonight, while we were talking, she laid out, in graphic detail, the course of her dream. It was a very juicy sex dream. It made me wonder if other people’s friends share this kin...
Reader Appreciation Day: You Rock!
Readers. What are they exactly? A person who surfs the ‘net and just happens upon a page full of words and stops for a minute? A person who comes to the page full of words day after day looking for more words? Skimmers? Those who read way more in...
Slippers Are The New Strappy Sandal
I may have mentioned I work at home. I had to go into the actual office two days this week and I really didn’t like it – one I had to pay to park in a garage that doesn’t take credit cards. Never heard of such a thing. So, there I am each ...
Weekend Wrap Up
I need a vacation from my weekends! Friday night sushi with Uncle Doreen, Saturday night birthday day with Viv (Happy Birthday, Girl!), and today, I got up at the crack of dawn and drove to Oakland to pick up my pal Bonnie and BART in to SF to line ...
Two Heads Aren’t Always Better Than One
Uncle Doreen and I went to a local hospital today to visit our friend Cardte Hicks, former ABL and European League basketball player. Cardte also runs a fabulous youth organization called, The Legends-Kids First here in Sacramento. She’s in the ho...
Yet Another Asshat
I am not a klutz. Never have been. About a week ago, Dangergirl and I were walking the dogs to the park about 6:30 am. It’s a nice few blocks and then we get to a place where we let them cut loose and chase a ball. She has two also, by the way...
Happy Dances With Wolves…Or Contractors
I got a call today…the one I’d been waiting for. I got the house. After I get the work I need done on it, I’ll be moving out of my terribly bland, Republican HOA run neighborhood to my own house. End of May will find me lounging ...
The Mom Survey
I stole this over at Trop’s. In the case of these two kids, the twins, they collaborated. I wouldn’t let them get back on the computer until they did this! 1. What is something mom always says to you? J-Man: “Hurry up, we’re leavi...
Get By With A Little Help From My Friends
When not feeling oneself, it’s always good to let your buddy drop by to cheer you up by mocking you. I was looking pretty good by Thursday. Although when Uncle Doreen came to visit, she launched into the “Why are you wearing an athletic...
I Knew You Were Going to Say That
“Everything’s going to be fine.” I knew they were going to say that, but that is not what my fevered mind was telling me in the weeks leading up to the surgery. I told myself I was merely holding it together until that inevit...
Citizens, Lend Me Your Ears
I mentioned a while back that I was concerned about what was left of my hearing. Last week, I went out and picked up yet another hearing aid (decided originally that it didn’t help enough for a buttload of money to make it worth it – my ability t...
Slow Motion With Tony Soprano
I had a date last night. Going to meet DangerGirl in Davis where we would shift around and finish the drive to the event in Berkeley in one car. It’s Friday night in Sactown, so I knew the traffic would be crazy. And by crazy, I don’t think mo...

This little piece of fun fluff from Jess. You can do it too at The Hero Factory....
Our House Is A Very, Very, Very Fine House
I’m a pro mover. I’ve moved probably 20 times in 30 years. The military, civil service, following somebody or headed toward somebody else. Then, the kids needed stability. Friends wouldn’t be made as easily. Education goals nee...
Taking A Break
I’m taking an extended break (but I’ll be wrapping up some outstanding business along the way). Hope you’ll visit the many fine blogs on the Blogroll in my sidebar while I’m gone....
Dear World
Dear World: We, the United States of America, your top quality supplier of the ideals of liberty and democracy, would like to apologize for our 2001-2008 interruption in service. The technical fault that led to this eight-year service outage has...
