so. 2012 is here. and with it, a new opportunity to show what we are able to do. below is a shot at my wishes for this new year. that i am able to start, and finish things in a more timely manner, and limit my distractions as much as possible. you would think that [...]
wtf?
the legislative let down…
from cnn today… Members of the “super committee” charged with coming up with $1.2 trillion in budget cuts are focused on how to announce failure to reach a deal, Democratic and Republican aides confirmed to CNN Sunday. While aides said no final decision had been made, they acknowledged that barring an unforeseen development, an announcement [...]
over half way through…
first. as a smoker, i have to ask… what are class ‘b’ cigarettes? has anyone ever seen a pack? we are into our second day of garage sale-ing. so far? it’s been ok. what’s left heads to goodwill this afternoon. my moms boyfriend passed away a couple weeks ago. leaves my brother in a tight [...]
comark promo video…
done a long time ago (as I still had hair!) here is a blast from the past. folks like denise p. phil c. ray w. jim p. stephanie s. carolyn p. mike b. lots of folks… the music was an add by me. the original was worse… trust me… those were the days. weren’t they? [...]
my thoughts on the mid-terms…
i’m a registered democrat. yes, i know, not a good thing during the mid-terms. but the problems talked about in main stream media and the republican broadcasting partner fox network, aren’t really telling it like it is. the following is my take on where we are, today. health care hasn’t really had time to kick [...]
cats…
really, kittens. michele missed having more to do around the house, so we now have 2 kittens. magnum and raven. brother and sister. they’re kind of cute, except for their claws. my legs are suffering those consequences. pictures should arrive shortly. they aren’t in one place long enough to get them right now! peace…

memorial day…
i felt sorry for the president as well as those that expected him to speak today in elmwood, il. the weather in illinois changes every 10 minutes, so to some extent it must have been expected. i hope that everyone had thoughts of the men and women that protect us 24x7x365. i know that i [...]
insurance…
sucks. illinois approved a rate hike that started at the first of the year for home owners insurance, as well as others. i have had a home, and therefore, insurance for 15 years. in that time, i have never had a claim. i have certainly had the opportunity too, with a couple floods and the [...]
not enough time on my hands…
hi. been a while huh? there just isn’t enough time in the day. so. i listened to some, but not (as yet) all of the health care summit today. i was quite taken with the passion that the president and the rest of the democrats during what i heard. i was, as usual, not impressed [...]
