Advil Calendar, Week 2
Once again, hats off to Your Neighborhood Librarian for this very fine Advil calendar. Also, why is it that every single librarian I know is such a fun writer? I must have missed something about librarians (probably a lot, really) back in school. My stepson wanted to be a librarian, but I think the tedium … Continue reading
On overeating or drinking
Whether we are talking about the next mouthful, the next drink, the next cigarette, the next sexual partner, or the next dose of whatever psychoactive chemical we might buy on the street, the concept is equally applicable: It’s hard to get enough of something that almost works. Isn’t that an amazing little insight? I … Continue reading

Oy, my vacation is over and Monday is coming in a couple of hours. Many, many things to do before the end of the year. I hope I get to some of them before January. On a positive (as in taking up more space – convex? extended? ?DIStended?) note I am still full from Thanksgiving. … Continue reading

Big Time in the Little City
Bob came home from work today, and the bar that he drives by (< a mile from our house, and I’ve never been, can you imagine??) had two CHPs and 5 sheriff cars in front of it with another one screaming up to the parking lot. It was a bar fight. I know that because … Continue reading
Question of the Moment #2
I was trying to buy some stocking stuffers and this QOTM occurred to me, because I realized I somehow don’t know the answers FOR MY OWN DAMNED FAMILY: What’s your favorite type of candy or snack?
