C’mon, Begich. Surely you are better than this. Running commercials accusing Sullivan of freeing a sex pervert to rape and kill again. It was horrible when Bush Senior did it in the late eighties against Dukakis and it is beyond horrible now. It’s plain stupid. Whether anyone likes Sullivan or not, let him stand or fall on his real merits. This is beneath your campaign. And if it isn’t, then shame on your campaign.
How is it possible?
How is it possible my dogs don’t hear me yelling for them to come downstairs to go out before we go to bed but can hear me four closed doors away unwrapping one of their treats? I need to get me some hearing like that.
Happy Labor Day…
from my family to yours. May today be as restful for you as BuddhaBubba’s are for her everyday.
Is there anything more miserable
Is there any animal in more misery than the dog getting his head petted who keeps nodding off and falling over only to then be out of reach of the hand that was petting him. So he jerks awake each time he starts to fall over only to have his eyes go to half mast within seconds of the head petting starting again. My poor Snowy. I thought he was going to have whiplash last night trying to keep his head within reach of my hand.
There’s always something with meaning
Why is it whenever someone’s tv parent dies there is always some item of monumental significance that brings back memories of the loved one. Sure, I have my Aunt Ida’s soup ladle but on NCIS, Gibbs has a boat his dad made with his mom’s name and then he starts building one and then he remembers building the original with his dad while music swells into past visions in the distance. I look at my aunt’s soup ladle and think of the soup with the tiny meatballs that started every Christmas meal. I don’t remember what the people around me
Being a health care pioneer
I was recently invited to a Pioneers in Health Care in Alaska event. I suppose it was inevitable that at some point someone would call me a pioneer. That didn’t stop me from feeling forty more gray hairs popping out of my head or my neck’s turkey waddle from shaking even harder. Then I stopped to think for a moment and the picture of the young woman who first came to Alaska and got involved in health care delivery in remote locations popped into my head. I realized she looked a whole lot younger than the person staring out at
The Emmys
Until such time as they give an Emmy to Leroy Jethro Gibbs, I will not wear my formal bathrobe and tiara while watching the show. It simply doesn’t deserve that much respect.
Do we ever?
Do we ever get so old that our upper range hearing is so damaged that the sound of our teeth being scraped during a cleaning doesn’t make us want to leap out of the chair and run out of the room?
Here’s some truth in advertising
I guess I’m getting more than a little tired of hearing people gripe about how many vacation days Obama takes. Let’s look at a comparison of him and Bush… Bush who was president while two wars were going on and the economy was tanking…
“On Aug. 8, 2014, Knoller tweeted that Obama had taken 19 vacations totaling 125 days so far while in office. Those numbers have risen a bit due to the Martha’s Vineyard vacation, but that’s still many fewer than George W. Bush’s 65 combined trips to his Texas ranch and his parents’ home in Kennebunkport, Maine, which
Get cold, dammit!
It’s the end of August. It should be colder. I am done with bugs, summer and heat. So let’s get a move on it winter. I have missed you greatly.
