Letter

Dear protestors down on the Embarcadero this morning, I don’t support this war any more than you do, but I dunno, don’t you think that waving a gigantic Iraqi flag is a bit, well . . . over the top? I’m just sayin, Jane

zzzzz

I seriously need a nap. So warm and cozy in my cube today… My house was buzzed by choppers for several hours last night, and it started up again this morning around 8. Can’t complain though, at least my street isn’t being bombed by cruise missiles, right? Sigh. I wonder what it’s like to live […]

Woo!

I could bring along my camera too and have pictures to go with whatever […]

whee photos!

Pictures of our trip north have finally been organized and posted. Enjoy! Our DSL is very crabby in the evenings. I know, quitcher bitchin. But I thought the whole idea was to have fast uninterrupted service. Ha! I am almost certain that it is a shitty old wiring/hardware issue. A windy rainy weekend is coming […]

eat the play-doh

So today I was having a good spirited discussion with my imaginary online friends about the garbage marketed directly at young children and their parents in the guise of “food.” At the risk of sounding like an old lady, things sure were different when I was a kid. So I just wanted to take this […]
