I’m so out of whack right now I almost don’t want to discuss it.
I did say ALMOST, didn’t I?
A mid-week holiday almost isn’t worth the trouble.
I did say ALMOST, didn’t I?
It all started on Sunday, just like the calendar says it should. Sunday morning went just as planned; I went to church, came home, took a nap. Then there was Sunday night. In a way it was Sunday…
My humble suggestion for the evolving mother tongue:
Lawyer: v. (slang) to answer a question or inquiry in a manner which suggests or implies an answer (in a lawyer/client relationship), but which also avoids responsibility for explicitly stating or advocating the implied response. syn: obfuscate. Similar to: being cagy, or maintaining “plausible deniability.”
Used in a sentence…
Cut someone off in traffic, poke your head out the window, smile and wave… what’s up with that?
One: the gentleman was a vistor from New York City, understood my eye contact as a stipulation to yield, interpreted car lengths like we humans interpret dog years, and was thanking me for my generous nature.
Two: the gentleman knew he had cut me off and was thanking me for not making his…
You would never read the ending of a book first, because it spoils the rest of the book knowing what happens. Now imagine you just read the first book in a series and there was a teaser chapter at the end for the second book. This book had such a chapter, and it was o.k., so I went ahead and bought the second book. I got about a third of the way through the second book and there was no sign of the…
I just wanted to say that the new site design you are enjoying required a lot of effort, particularly the part where I copied the design from another site. Oh, it’s not as bad as the title suggests… the design was offered as a template.
Lest you think it required no effort on my part, I spent a good two hours tweaking the CSS file. HAH! Take that nay sayers of the world!
So what do you…
What American homeowner hasn’t had the pleasure of a door-to-door cold call from their friendly neighborhood Mormon? About a month ago I was home early from work when a couple of missionaries came a knocking. I was home alone with some extra time on my hands, and I was genuinely curious, so I engaged my two Mormon captives in a full-tilt interrogation.
You may already know this, undoubtedly…
In my line of work, purveyors of insurance are given ALL kinds of opportunities to hawk their wares on the company dime. This afternoon one such huckster was in the office… with a sweetened pot: free gifts in return for “a moment of your time.” It was like I had been transported to Daytona Beach and someone was trying to sell me a timeshare condo, only instead of a free day at…
Imagine you were sitting at work with little to do, knowing all the while that you had a TON of stuff to do at home. Geese-a-Louise! It’s enough to make a grown man weep.
Speaking of weeping, can you believe The West Wing ends this Sunday? It is (was) a show on TV that gives (gave) me optimism… and not just because it portrays (portrayed) a Democrat in the White House. Whether it was…
I was driving through an area of new development, no easy feat in my neck of urban sprawl, when I spied the ironic name of a new development: “Restoration.”
What are they restoring? I’m glad I asked.
I’ve heard that this previously wooded hill was once the site of the world’s first known, concrete foundation dwellings, constructed by an off-shoot of the Seminole…
