This may be my last post

I woke up with a head full of ideas that were driving me crazy. But since I was asleep when I woke up I forgot most of them. So I decided to use one of those misleading headlines like you see way too often on Blogit. The truth is, there is a grain of truth to that headline. You see, I am getting a...

To smoke or not to smoke

We all make a choice whether to smoke or not to smoke. The question posed syndicated advice columnist Carolyn Hax was that of a daughter seeking advice on how to make her parents stop smoking. The surprising (to some) answer was along the lines of, “it’s not really your business, it is after all... Sign in to see full entry.

What is in a name part deux

Who you callin’ furrin? A usurper steals in amongst the ranks of the All-American in the most American of American sports. Last Sunday, several Toyota Camrys competed in the Daytona 500, something that at one time would have seemed beyond imagination. A Japanese car mixing it up with the muscular...

What’s in a name?

New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Coeur D’Alene Idaho, all names that evoke clear images in the mind of a city of skyscrapers, a city of oil derricks, a city of movie stars and a small city by a breathtaking lake. Except for the last, one doesn’t even have to give the state, those towns are all... Sign in to see full entry.

My cat says

Today winter’s icy grip was finally broken as the sun smiled down from a mostly blue sky and temperatures edged slightly over the 50 F degree mark. We were driving and even invoked the air conditioner a time or two, so acclimated to the colder temperatures we have become. From our mountain valley... Sign in to see full entry.

Drug use in America

Local basketball stars busted for marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms. They were not just any students, they attended Gonzaga University, a Jesuit school in Spokane Washington. There are two schools of thought on drugs. The first is the rationale the people who use drugs employ, “I use drugs, most of... Sign in to see full entry.

A double header movie review

Two films that most likely went straight to DVD, John Tucker Must Die and My Life Without Me are both worth a look. John Tucker Must Die is at first blush one of those sappy high-school romantic comedies that proliferate like bunnies. This one examines the all-star athlete, most popular boy who is...

The world according to me.

e have made it to Friday once again. For some, that is quite an accomplishment. For others, like Anna Nicole Smith, making it to Friday is no longer a problem.

The daily grind.

As winter wears on it’s while overcoat wears out. What was once fluffy white snow that soothed the nerves and made everything into a wonderland has now grown grey and scruffy under an endlessly cloudy sky. The spirit sags. Warmer days, it seems, will never arrive. Cars all look like they rolled in a... Sign in to see full entry.
