Last week The Daily Show & The Colbert Report were on vacation. I felt an unusual TV deficit in my life. I rely on these funny guys to keep me laughing at the ridiculous foibles of all politicians.
So, today, I scanned CNN online while at work. I prefer this to watching the regular news. I [...]

To Kill A Mockingbird
To revisit a book you read only once over 40 years ago, but still remember its impact, is a great experience! We rented the B&W movie yesterday and watched it again too. I highly reccommend re-reading To Kill A Mockingbird! Borrow or rent the movie also.
I recently discovered Before Green Gables by Budge Wilson of [...]

SOL’s/ Middle School Update
What pranks will they think of next? A student purposely jumped out of a trailer window at school today. He wasn’t hurt. A stink bomb was “detonated” in the halls. Could this be end of the year “stuff” or reactions to the testing environment? Fill in the dot – all of the above!

Where in the World is….????

This week in Richmond, federal authorities arrested 30 illegal aliens who were on the construction crew for the almost completed new Federal Courthouse. I find it troubling that its OK to let these people work in the elements for unscrupulous construction companies and then when the job is almost finished, to do a “round-up”. Give [...]

Daughter K convinced me to visit The Body Shop. I had visited one across town a few [...]

Good Humor Ice Cream Truck leads MD police on chase
So, here it is Friday and I wish to share a bit of “humor” aka stupid crooks.
“Charles County, MD sheriff’s deputies arrested two men this week who say they stole more than $500.00 worth of soap and shampoo from a CVS store and lead police on a chase in a Good Humor Ice Cream Truck. [...]

Explaining
So here goes the explanation for discussing feminism. I returned “that” book to the library after giving it the 50 page limit. Sometimes I give books 100 pages and if it hasn’t grabbed me, it’s done, finished and outta my life. This combo biography/women’s history just didn’t grab me.
Women like Carly Simon, Carole King and [...]
