It occurs to me that men once wore the high heeled shoes. But they wised up quickly. Could that be why they still dominate the world? Or is it that they don’t have to struggle with panyhose five days a week?
It’s better than a typewriter
As I struggle with lap tops and desk tops and internal and external hard drives I have to keep reminding myself…it’s better than a typewriter and white out.
I fear the world is spinning too fast
So I’m sitting here with an external hard drive that is smaller than my little finger and holds what used to take four hundred floppy disks. I think it’s probably significant that the clerk thought to use the floppy disk analogy rather than a CD analogy. He probably thought I’d be more apt to relate to the older model. Now my problem is I can’t figure out how to plug it in. Sigh.
You lost. Get over it.
Just when I thought I could put the recently completed political season behind me with a minimum of annoyance, the two major political parties decided to go that one step too far. And now I’m not feeling quite so charitable towards them.
Let’s start with the Republicans. You lost. No matter how much spin you try to put on it, you lost. And I, quite frankly, am getting a major headache listening to talking heads trying to twist this around into a scenario in which it looks like you lost but not really.
From what I can glean from the
In case you were wondering
In case you were wondering if Christmas was on time this year, I think the glut of commercials for children’s toys that have suddenly sprung up may be a good indication it can’t be that far away.
Traveling East
I arrive in Atlantic City today, home of my misspent youth. It’s too bad that now that Atlantic City has so many more ways to misspend my youth, I have no youth left to misspend.
Please buy a ticket

Onboard GPS
My sister and I once took my mother with us on a road trip. As we wandered around outside some city in Utah trying to find our hotel, my mother got nervous because we were lost. My sister’s response was, “How lost can we be? We’re in America.” Half the fun of road trips can be the odd, out of the way places you find when you get lost. But now cars come with GPS onboard and all you have to do is ask the computer to tell you where to go. You’ll never be lost again. Though in not
You just have to be mechanically minded
I bought a doghouse for Blondie who likes to spend her days outside making sure no squirrel or bird tries to take over her yard. I called on my young friend Paul to assist with it. He took the doghouse out of its box and laid its pieces on the floor. I lifted the box upright and started reading the instructions on the back. I turned to tell Paul what step one should be. He already had three of the four levels attached. It’s got to just be something in your genes. On the one hand, I was confused by
The proof is in the crumbs
Blue wandered into the bathroom as I read the morning paper and I noticed something all over her head. It was bird food, a mixture of seeds. birdy cornbread and so many other things. And I realized that she has taken Mr. T’s place at the trough known as the bottom of Abdul’s cage. She grazes there each day while Abdul showers her with crumbs. My little circle is truly becoming complete again.
