| My Night |
[Nov. 23rd, 2009|09:32 pm] |
I had to go to the store; we were out of ice cream. I was walking past the cereal aisle when I had to stop-- a shopping cart was zooming around the corner right at me. It stopped just inches before crashing into me. It was being pushed by a little blonde girl, barely tall enough to see over the handle, wearing a green and red sock cap. The mortified mother was rushing up the aisle trying to catch up to her. The little girl looked up over the handle, smiled a big, cheerful smile, and said, "Sorry, Person!" She rolled the cart on past me, the mother chasing close behind.
I picked up a gallon of chocolate. |

I'll be heading out to Kansas City here in a little bit on my last road trip of the year. I probably won't be back in time for pub night Sunday evening, so you crazy kids go have fun without me. |

I'm looking up fried potatoes. The recipe says to peel & cut them up, then cook in a greased pan until they're browned, about 10 minutes, then reduce heat & cover for 20 minutes. What gets me is that the recipe calls for 4 potatoes, and then says "serves six." Whoever wrote that recipe's never been to my house... |

| Book Fun |
[Nov. 15th, 2009|08:08 am] |
Bookstores are my comfort zone. Whenever I'm feeling blue or down, a walk through a bookstore always cheers me up. Even when I don't buy anything, just being around books makes me feel better.
I was thinking about that this week while browsing through Borders when I noticed Sarah Palin's book is coming out on Tuesday ("40% off!"), and I thought, you know, it would be funny if people went to the bookstore, picked up copies of her book and, as they were browsing through the store, just casually replaced them in the "fiction" section... Not that I would suggest anyone really do that, heaven forbid. |

| Veteran's Day |
[Nov. 11th, 2009|02:47 pm] |
A big, grateful salute to all the veterans of this country's armed forces. Your service is greatly appreciated.
As we celebrate Veteran's Day, it's sad and embarrassing that Oklahoma's own Senator Tom Coburn is currently playing politics with soldiers' lives by holding up a big benefits bill (S 1963, the Veterans' Caregiver and Omnibus Health Benefits Act of 2009) that would provide services for veterans, including caregiver assistance, health care benefits for vets living in rural areas, medicine for newborn children, and services that would ease veteran homelessness: http://www.vetvoice.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=3347 |

YouTube asks the musical question: What if Carl Sagan played Agent Smith in "The Matrix?" I think it would have looked something like THIS... |
