Beltway Babies
Don't you just love all of the modern-day paraphernalia that grocery stores present with at the shopping cart section these days--ones you can ride like a scooter with a basket in front, ones that look like some kind of bus or truck with a place for a child to think he is driving. They are getting...

Pill Games
My monthly trip to the pharmacy yesterday netted me a new supply of pills which my doctor seems to think that I must take religiously if I wish to remain on this earth, and in veritably good enough condition to enjoy life. At the end of each month, I look at the pretty pink, blue, white, and...

My Baud Units Gone Wild
This is one of those days where blogging and emailing is moment by moment, and could be quite exasperating if I allowed it to bother me. There must be a broken or loose wire blowing in the wind. My telephone has been out since yesterday afternoon and my DSL comes and goes momentarily. So, I am...

My New Project - Learning Czech
One of the first things that I learned on www.livemocha.com, thanks to elinjo is "J á jsem tlust á." I learned how to say it, how to spell it, and what it means. I don't think that I will be using that sentence much though as it is really no body's business. It sounds like something you would say at...

A Vote For Tricycle
When I went to the airport to pick up Sis arriving from San Francisco on Friday, I was not prepared for what I saw walking toward me. Her face/chin had healed from the horrible staph infection that incapacitated her while she was there and took her to the SF hospital ER two different days. Her welts...

That's My City!
The Kansas City Missouri Police Department’s (KCPD) budget adopted by the City for fiscal year 2010 is underfunded by $15 million. The effect of this cut is the inability to operate at full staffing and maintain service levels. The KCPD commitment to the people to "protect life and property while...

My Veteran/My Son
Today is Veterans Day in the US. Throughout the years, since World War I (1919) it has also been known as Armistice Day, Remembrance Day, Poppy Day, and is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war. Son Mark is my veteran of 1989's Operation...

I Tried It Once Myself
It has been a while since I have seen hackysack going full blast, so when I looked across the parking lot and saw five young people going full tilt, for just a moment I thought they had gone nuts. It was far enough away that I could not see the little bags at all and there was no music playing so it...

Just Peter And I
I can't even recall the last time that just Peter and I spent time together. That's what happens when grandchildren grow up, get girlfriends, have their own money that they earn at their jobs, get a car, get involved with friends and activities. Our one-on-one time, that we had so much of when he...

Everyone Knows
Thinking about my loved ones who are always here within reach of my needs and wants, but are at the moment elsewhere enjoying other climes and good times, made me feel the need to bake bread. So, while the loaves are rising and the flour from the kneading is on my belly, and my nose, and the yeasty...
