This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever [...]

Dressed In Black

Well, it’s finally official…..
Fred dropped out of the campaign.
I know his mother is ill, and I cannot imagine focusing on anything else.  But, he left a big hole in the campaign.  If nothing else, I hope that his comments and thoughtful approach to the office he ran for will inspire those remaining in the race [...]

Back to Politics For A Minute

This just in from Real Clear Politics:
Fred Thompson is not the most inspiring speaker in the GOP race for President. Nor is he the best looking or the smoothest talking among the candidates running. He doesn’t have Mitt Romney’s hair or Mike Huckabee’s glibness. He isn’t as aggressively positive as Rudy Giuliani. And while his personal [...]

Catching Up

Weird week.  On one hand, I thought things might slow down a bit after the end of the year.  On the other hand, if things slow down too much, I worry that I might be out of a job soon.  So far, so good. 
In other news, we have SNOW this morning!    I don’t [...]

Happy Birthday to Me!

I ordinarily don’t like a big deal made of my birthday.  It’s a day, and while I like to be with my family and have cake, I’m at an age where I really don’t need presents – cake, yes, but not so much with the presents.  I really prefer spending time with my family and [...]

Political Optimism – Take Two and Call Me In the Morning

My sister, who is currently serving in the U.S. Army for the 19th year in a row, sent me this link:  http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/01/hey_gop_cheer_up_chin_up.html 
It’s good reading for the political doldrums, whichever side you’re on, because it highlights what has been accomplished for the good in this country.  I don’t know about you, but I get really tired [...]

Yes, It’s Monday

Thankfully, the billable hours clock reset on January 1, 2008.  In celebration of that event, I promptly lost a document that I need to file by tomorrow.  Thankfully, God answers prayer – and taught me again how much I struggle with pride. 
I called the agency with which I was supposed to file the document to [...]

Belated Happy New Year

I’m a lot late to the party, but happy new year to all!
I spent New Year’s Eve with my uncle on Belle Isle in Detroit at a 4-mile fun run/walk I’ve done off and on (mostly off) since 1983.  It’s usually a fun time, since it’s held early enough in the afternoon that we finish in [...]
