Reminiscing…

I’ve gone off on a tangent this weekend.
Having reconnected with so many old friends on Facebook, I opened up my cedar chest and started going through old pictures. I took some of the negatives and had the pictures put on CD to preserve them.
This is me on June 10, 1985…the night I graduated from [...]

A Pithy Open Letter to Liz Garrigan

Dearest Liz,
You said flattery will get you everywhere, so here goes…
I think we need some major sucking up.
Very well. You’re not only gorgeous, but a powerful woman. I could see the second you arrived, you were someone to reckon with…
Ok, maybe I should just do away with the [...]

Add to Resume: Roofer

A couple of weeks ago, an extremely irritating high-pitched noise began to emit from the top of my house. I wasn’t sure if aliens had begun transmitting from my chimney. If so, I would have to call Newscoma immediately!
The noise could be heard both inside my house and throughout the neighborhood. Not [...]

Made of the Same Dust

My boss shared this with me the other day, and it moved me so much that I wanted to share it here…
Made of the Same Dust
When we look through the eyes of Jesus, we see new things in people.
In the murderers, we see our own hatred.
In the addicts, we see our own addictions.
In the saints, [...]

Zombies and Meeting Maude’s Daughter!

Who’d a thunk that this weekend, I’d get to hang out at a Tattoo & Horror Festival with Newscoma, Squirrel Queen, and Hollywood Ron! I hadn’t planned on it, but after enjoying lunch with them wherein we honored Mr. Kleinheider — even though he didn’t let us buy him lunch — I decided “what [...]


More Meme

Ms. Klinde has tagged me for a meme, and I shall be happy to oblige.
Here’s how this one rolls…
You take each line and replace it with a single word of your choosing. Yes, just one word!!
Afterward, tag seven folks…
You’re feeling: tired
To your left: pillow
On your mind: lonesome
Last meal included: beer
You sometimes find it [...]

Oh. My. God.
I have got to calm down.
Belmont, you gave Duke a GREAT fight. I am so proud of you!!!!
Final score: Duke 71 - Belmont 70
Quote of the night goes to CeeElCee:
“Great. Now they’re probably gonna burn down the Pancake Pantry. Oh wait, this isn’t Detroit. [...]

Tonight’s the night…

GO BRUINS!!!

I think Lisa’s right…

Discussing the statements of Rev. Wright and how they might reflect on Obama’s own viewpoints has been a very eye-opening experience. I have read comments that make up the best and worst of what makes up the blogosphere.
There is a commenter on a thread over at Music City Bloggers named Lisa who, to me, [...]

I Want to Believe…

I need to get some sleep, but this has been weighing heavy on my mind the past few days…so here’s a quickie…
I have to admit, this whole Rev. Wright and Obama thing really has shaken my resolve that Barack is my man.
I want to believe that having him as our President will be a unifying [...]

Peep Show

Shouldn’t it be the “chicks” up on the stage? Or maybe this is the male review…

Updated to add:  By the way, the Cocoa flavored Peeps are the bomb!  Mmmmm, chocolate sugar!

Too much to articulate…

I’ve got a lot on my mind, but I just don’t have the fortitude to type it out right now.
I would just ask that you pray for my daughter’s best friend who is going through some serious medical issues right now.  We need for the doctors to figure out what’s going on, so they can [...]

An Old Irish Blessing

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

Raising my glass to Kleinheider

Today we lost a very important voice in Tennessee politics. WKRN once again bows to the god of the almighty dollar, and has closed shop over at Volunteer Voters.
I have no doubt that Kleinheider will land on his feet and be successful in whatever he does next *cough! cough!*Nashville Scene should grab him*cough! cough!*
I’m [...]
