The performing arts department of Lincoln High School is having a car wash tomorrow. If you have a dirty car and are in the area you could drop by! Unfortunately Jameson didn’t manage to get any pledges, but oh well! (The car wash is, as far as I know, free, and the kids will earn [...]

I just find it so hard to believe that anyone could say something so stupid and wrong. But I just read these words:
“If you wanted to reduce crime, you could — if that were your sole purpose — you could abort every black baby in this country and your crime rate would go down.
“That would [...]

My hands seem to be improving. I’m relieved! I’m not using the computer as frequently, and I’m sure that’s helping.
BUT … there’s always something, right? … my “acid reflux esophagus”, which I thought was improving last week, is bad again. Sigh. Maybe I just HAVE to cut out all coffee and chocolate. I was using [...]

So … opera went well tonight. After my whining about wishing we didn’t have opera I was pleased with my reed, played well … AND I saw a friend at the opera, too! Cool!

… for opera to be over. I wish, in fact, that it was over already. There’s something about this final week — I think it’s because we haven’t had anything since last Sunday and it felt over. Sigh.
Of course it doesn’t help that I broke my favorite reed AND I just want to sit [...]

Brandon had a very quick trip down here. He flew home yesterday afternoon and he, Dan and I loaded up a truck today. At about 5:00 he and Dan drove away. (Sadly I was teaching then so I could only say a quick goodbye.)
He has an apartment in Seattle now. The timing was perfect [...]

If the Atlantic region reaches the letter P in 2006, the name Patty will be used. In 2009 the Eastern North Pacific will use Patricia. (Six lists are used in rotation for both the Eastern North Pacific and Atlantic regions, so I guess those names could appear every six years.) I don’t recall hearing Patty [...]

Sad game. Rotten score. I hope last week wasn’t a fluke. This is really embarrassing. It’s the “most lopsided victory since 11/8/81) Ouch. It’s now 42/3, in favor of the Eagles. Double ouch.
I do hope the Giants fare better. MUCH better. Game begins in about 15 minutes, so I’ll manage to catch some of [...]

In the competitive world of stand-up comedians, Mr. Stine, 45, has found a niche as a conservative Christian, riffing on topics like gay marriage, judicial activism and judges who cite precedents from foreign courts.
You can read more here if you really want to.
I just don’t think that what this guy is doing is funny. Nor [...]

Yep. It’s been years and I just haven’t been able to admit it, but I did so today.
I can no longer do needlework. Period.
I actually haven’t been able to do needlework for years, but I was hoping things might change.
I occasionally get nostalgic about the things I used to do and I enjoyed [...]
