The Cruz Missile On the Budget Battle?

The beginning of the turning, Color creeping day by day, Green is going, disappearing into gaudier array. Maybe the "green" took a detour to the Senate floor in the form of the Dr. Suess children's classic Green Eggs and Ham. As for me, I do not like politics. I do not like it, Sam-I-Am. I can do...

You cannot remain forever a good egg. You must hatch, or go bad. Below is a fantastic, amazing, the absolute best nature documentary and birds-eye view tour of Europe that I have ever seen. It takes my breath away. I've already watched it full length twice, and i intend to enjoy it again and again.... Sign in to see full entry.

I like that. I like sitting in the fresh air, reading, watching nature do its thing, whatever passes... Sign in to see full entry.

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive

What Do I Do With This?

Grandson Phil is a very good worker. There are just not very many things it has been found that he has the capability of doing. But, when he understands his job, he does it surprisingly well.

EXASPERATING

LATE AGAIN! "No concept of time," you always give for an excuse, with a nonchalance impervious to criticism, not caring that another may need to meet a deadline, or keep an appointment, might miss an opportunity that knocks only once. Blood pressure rising, and you don't even see, or care, that... Sign in to see full entry.
