Butt-cheek stew and the unexpected visitor

I just watched the Palin-Biden debate while getting stuffed with vanilla malts, hamburgers in homemade onion buns, and fresh cut french fries. Mmmmmmmmmm. After listening to her spew her folksy garbage and stupid colloquialisms, I was reminded of a dinner we made the other night. Probably because of her stance on Roe v. Wade… One … Continue reading »

Complaining

This is my cat, Madeleine Albright, in her official sleeping position. She chivvies under my arm while I read my catalog, then sleeps there all night. She’s seven years old and only weighs about six pounds. And she’s spiteful. She gets me. First, let me say this. I am having a hard time not being … Continue reading »

Because my blogs have been only about things that anger me, and while those bouts of irritation with the general populous are frequent and all-consuming, I find that frequently I am blogging about the same topic. Usually that topic … Continue reading »
