Soon it will be time to do some trimming around here. The lists are getting long and some in the link lists have gone on to other endeavors.

My buddy John has two new members of the family.

Here’s to my daughter, Kendra.

Congratulations on being a wonderful human being!
And here’s to the next phase.

So, it’s time to move on. I must say that Obama and Hillary are two excellent people. They both know how to play the current game. Although it is hard for spectators to understand or infer the rules. Media news and online information about the political process is almost impossible to put together. [...]

Sure, sometimes I yearn for the desert.
I still have no idea how to write New England.

I just walked by a commercial for an electric pepper grinder. I can think of a few cases where this might be a necessity, say someone with sever arthritis.
But it was also advertised with a hundred dollar grinder. Now that no one needs.
Theme: Americans are entertaining themselves to zero. Hm, that may be hyperbolic, [...]
