According to a government investigation, senior employees of the SEC were watching up to 8 hours a day of porno on their government computers while our economy imploded. Some of these people were earning up to $222,418/year. One accountant was blocked 16,000 times in one month from visiting sites classified as “sex” or “pornography”. I guess it was more amusing than watching the porn occurring on Wall Street.

Do other people periodically wonder if the molecules that make up their body once made up the body of Michaelangelo or DaVinci or Elizabeth 1?

Did I really just say that out loud? Oh dear. I think I finally had one of those sixties’ flashbacks I was promised so long ago.

There was a minor incident recently concerning a child on my caseload who went to school without any shoes on for a variety of bizarre reasons. Bottom line… no one was hurt and his houseparents know now to look down at his feet before he leaves the house.

My reaction to this incident could be considered by some to be way out of proportion to the problem But those people never knew my Uncle Joe and his foot fetish. In his world, no one went without shoes – ever.  You either had shoes on or slippers on but what you

Stir slightly under the warm blankets. Slowly open your eyes. Find yourself staring into the faces of two dogs who sit right next to your bed in unblinking sentry pose waiting for you to get your lazy ass out of bed and feed them. Smell their fetid breath as they inch imperceptibly closer to the bed upon noticing your eyeball movement. Chose life over one more inhale of their exhale. Get up.

Blue is getting too old to really want to do the outside steps from the deck to the yard. She prefers the inside steps which have carpeting that acts as a brake when she starts sliding down. Sliding occasionally happens when you combine the bad back legs of an old diabetic dog with the dramatic downhill decline of the normal household flight of stairs.

In the winter this is not a problem as Blue is just as happy to pee in the snow on the deck upstairs as try to go to the snow downstairs in the yard. After the

If politicians don’t already know what makes the general public mad, try wasting money at a time when most of us are looking for change in the couch to pay our electric bill. The $10,000 the Anchorage Assembly voted to spend on investigating the pay out of a life insurance policy to the estate of George Sullivan is a classic example.

Let’s take a look at some facts without using the prism of political game playing.

Sometime back in the early 80s, the city assembly voted to provide the former mayor with a life insurance policy. No one seems to

… when you are chilled by the freezing rain instead of the freezing snow.

My old Mac went tits up after six years of hard labor. I went to the Mac story and bought the newer version of iMac. They took my old one, resuscitated the fried hard drive long enough to transfer all data and programs to my new one and by that evening I was sitting in front of my new Mac with everything from my old Mac right there where I’d left it. AND…. when my AOL wouldn’t work and I called Apple support, they answered my call with a live person in less than five minutes and sent me the

I try to be nice to all living critters. I don’t want to kill anything unnecessarily. There’s enough killing that’s considered necessary in this world.

So when I heard the banging of some little critter in my dryer tube that vents my dryer to the outside, I knew two things. One, I didn’t want to kill it. And two, I didn’t want it to die in the tubing as I suspected the smell would get pretty ripe after I ran the dryer the first time.

So I did what I always do in a panic. I called Lenny. I would

My poor baby sister is stranded in London due to the Iceland volcano erupting.  Poor baby. Couldn’t she have found a nice place to be stranded? Oh wait, that’s right. She’s in London. She found the nice place.
