Uh-Ohhhbama!

Well, we knew this one wouldn’t go away quietly.  After Obama’s reference to his bowling skills being “like the Special Olympics or something”, here come the critics.  Maria Shriver, namely, who quite frankly had no alternative other than to blast him given her family’s close ties to the SO.  There’s nothing that speaks with more [...]

3/19/09: Dear President Obama,

On the eve of the anniversary of your second month in office, I’m thinking it’s a good time to take a little inventory of your performance thus far.  The expressed opinions, of course, are only mine.  ‘Nuff said on that front. So here we go.   1.  Salaries frozen for executives of companies receiving bailout money.  [...]

What a Wonderful World

Nicholas and I spent the day at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach yesterday.  He’s 15.  I’m his mom.  I’m old.  Despite those patently obvious odds, we had a great time.  Actually, we always have a good time together.  He says I nag (and I might, on occasion, but only if the situation warrants it.  Honest.) and [...]

Welcome, 2009!

Exactly 2 hours and 49 minutes are left in the year 2008. I will greet 2009 quietly alone, and I’m very okay with that. My beverage of choice this evening is a steaming mug of Hot Buttered Rum; since I hate rum, that leaves me with Hot Buttered Milk.  Spicy, sweet, soothing, and eternally boring [...]
