Yes, it is Paczki Day here in Metro Detroit! Honestly, it’s the only thing I celebrate about Lent, which is either a reflection on my true lack of spirituality or merely a nod to the temptation presented by these delicious treats. Either way, it’s a wonderful day!
If you don’t know what a paczki [...]

Apparently, the last couple of days have been the universe’s message that all is not really right. I base this conclusion on the following:
1. I have the flu – really. I got drugs for it, but I still have the flu. Which means that, on a day when I really need to stay home and sleep, I [...]

I am just sick today – I had my carpets cleaned on Saturday, partly because my mom is coming for a visit next week, and partly because they hadn’t been cleaned in a couple of years and were overdue. I had to put Tanner into the basement while they did the upper floors, and then [...]

With great thanks to Larry Elder (who, BTW, specifically said that there was no charge to use these ), I, too, am asking that the President answer these questions [I include the ones I would most like to see answered, so I replaced the numbers with asterisks]:
* Mr. President, tonight you criticized those who argue [...]

I should have my new home computer by this Friday!!
I am SO excited!
Please note: the last time I bought a new computer was in October of 2000. Yep. That’s right. 2000. That’s, like, 162 in computer years. My old computer still runs on Windows 98.
This new one will be just like the new one I [...]

Boring. Yes. But it’s back to my favorite topic, which is politics.
