  • Go home Garrison

    I got this email today that was purported to be a copy of an article written by Garrison Keillor. I don’t know if the man actually wrote it, and I don’t really care if he did – I happen to have been a fan of his since childhood, and I think that he’s entitled to Continue reading

  • Matt

    In the (getting to be) time honored tradition of speaking to my brother through blogs, here’s what I’ve got to say today: I hope you’re having a lovely time, and that you find everything that you’re looking for there. I also hope that you get by Chinatown, and get me a couple of the things Continue reading

  • Car thoughts

    I just got back from a focus group on Kia cars. I was a last minute add in (someone cancelled and Brigitte always looks after me), and I got paid well…. But that doesn’t change the fact that Kia’s are crap cars. I mean, you can’t fix them, and the maintenance cost to stay within Continue reading

  • Update

    Well, the job’s doing ok, and is a little less scary than I imagined. I think, once the dust clears, that I’ll be able to do this pretty much without too much trouble. In fact, I think that I’ll be able to do this, and still have time to help out with charge entry (my Continue reading

  • Shiver me Timbers!

    Ok, quick note to all of you that don’t know: I got a promotion!!!! Actually, I got it last Wednesday, about the same time that I got a really nasty chest cold, so I was absent the rest of the week, and didn’t have to deal with it. Now, all the new stuff is going Continue reading

  • Saturday Ramblings

    Well, howdy folks! I’ll bet you’re wondering where I’ve been…well, just here. I’ve been part of a carpool since May, and that’s pretty much limited my website/email/genealogy/blog accessability to about an hour every Saturday morning. Now, anyone who knows me knows that my brain function is pretty non-existant between the hours of 6am and 10am, Continue reading

  • Stolen from Faeriekissed

    Thanks, girl! This is cool! And timely, I guess…. WAIT! How did I get D&D, and a Buffy star??? That’s just too bizarre… In 1974 (the year you were born) Gerald Ford becomes president of the US Hank Aaron hits his 715th home run to beat Babe Ruth’s record Impeachment hearings are opened against President Continue reading

  • Genealogical Distress

    I came across a problem when my new cousin was born: I accidently uninstalled Family Tree Maker off my computers and linkstation, and therefore erased my family tree. Over 500 names and 10,000 data records….gone. J says that there’s a guy at his work who can retrieve it for me, but I have to wait Continue reading

  • Movie Reviews

    I would love to write full reviews, but I don’t have much time this morning. I also don’t wanna spoil these movies for y’all. I saw the Chronicles of Riddick last night. It is one of the most beautiful movies that I’ve ever seen…however, it was not as good as I thought it would be. Continue reading

  • Just a little bit of fluff

    Well, I didn’t want y’all to think that I had slipped off the face of the earth. I’ve been hugely busy lately – as anyone who has tried to communicate w/ me over email well knows. I have news aplenty, just not a lot of time to write it down in….I’ll do that later. I Continue reading
