Bottom Feeding

I wish Britney Spears all the best. I hope Heath Ledger’s family can grieve and heal from their loss as time allows, and I even hold out a good thought for Tony Romo and his new girlfriend. Mazel tov!
But the onslaught and constant Chinese water torture of teasers, promos, gossip, “news,” and muckracking is just [...]

Miracles Exist!

One of my bloggy friends – a woman I know only because I like her writing – is a walking miracle. And I love a good story.

Clean

Everyone knows what happens to a clean litter box, a clean diaper and a clean countertop. In the case of the first two, as we say in Arizona, caca pasa. And for that countertop? Matter will be created to clutter it up. This is known as TigerWillow’s Law of Flat Surfaces. (I’m working very hard [...]

Good Slippers

How do you know if your Christmas slippers are indeed a great pair?
I left the house today – in the car and half-way down the alley to the street. Uh oh! I still had my slippers on, so I had to go back, pull into the driveway and go inside to put on shoes.
