  • WANT / Do not want

    WANT Gary and I were on the road Saturday and we saw this: A 2012 Mini Cooper S Coupe. Come. Come to me baby. Sweet baby. You get your spoiler into my garage. Ah, but I have a car, and it’s paid for. Whore car! Tempting me. Pasta You know how I get in to…

  • Meat

    I was out on a futile errand Saturday afternoon, but it gave me a chance to listen to Prairie Home Companion. I was taken by a message from Meat. It occurred to me I’d never called in my Valentine’s Day gift: dinner out at a Brazilian place where they serve meat on swords. It has…

  • March of the Tornadoes

    I appreciate that the National Weather Service can now let us know that there is a “90%” chance of tornadoes. It’s kind of exciting they described it as a “perfect storm of tornadic activity.” Kind of interesting how the red area is slowly pinching St. Louis between its thumb and forefinger. CNN told people in…

  • Revolver

    Yesterday, I was with a number of people walking past the lovely TeddyJ landscaping on my way in to the building. The woman directly ahead of me was “pedeconferencing.” As if to say: we are walking and talking and making plans and cutting through the B.S.. She went in the revolving door ahead of me.…

  • Things I Hide

  • Drain Bump

    Here is the state of everything in my brain, not at all organized. Did I dream the F16 plane crash from this weekend? Where’s the black box? What did the pilots have to say? What happened there? April 10. Mom died in ‘2008 – four years ago. Friend 4 tried to get a little LobSlau…

  • Stick a Fork In It

    This is my laptop at work. Yeah, that’s a fork stuck in it. That bastard is done. Now matter where I sit, I slowly lose connection to the network. I can watch directories disappear. I called IS and finally got someone to say,”Well, that’s your network card. Let’s get you a new laptop!” and moments…

  • The iLiving iBible

    Today we celebrate Christ’s resurrection and Wilma’s birth. About a month ago, Wilma said to Gary, “I was wondering if Doris Day ever got married. Would that be on the Internet?” “We can Google it on my phone.” “Oh! I’ve heard of Google.” Any guesses as to what Wilma is getting for her birthday? Any…

  • Nothing to Report

    I went to bed on Thursday night at 8. Got out of bed Friday night at 7. Going back to bed now. Not dead, not sick, just really wiped out.
