A grapevine it's not

Pleez, pleeeez, if you are not already, go here and get registered. It’s your right as an American and more important than ever this year if we want to effect any sort of change. Our country can’t continue this way, and you can have a say in it. Don’t procrastinate, just do it. Register to [...]

TS Gustav expected to make landfall in LA as a Cat 3 hurricane sometime early next week. Poor people haven’t even finished cleaning up from Katrina. I hope they get a lot more help from the government than our illustrious moron gave them the last time. Hmm, just thought of the face he made in [...]

back from a beautifully sunny beach side to a very messy property. Thankfully nothing dramatic happened. Everything’s very green and covered in twigs and branches. The widowmaker finally fell, smashing into 4 pieces upon meeting the driveway. A couple of plants felt the impact, but all will recover. The camphor across the driveway dropped dead [...]

The Red Sox game was washed away but we did get to consume beer and peanuts under the bleachers while chatting with some pretty cool people. Russ should definitely not have driven home but, try telling him that. The party was yesterday and, though we got a little rain in the afternoon, it gave us [...]

If that ever happens, just pull the plug.” She got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine…bitch. Spent the weekend [...]

Being a person who doesn’t get sick all that often (must be all the clean living I do ;) I had cold meds, including DayQuil and NyQuil, leftovers in the cupboard until recently. However, having ventured out of the house to a concert last weekend, I seem to have contracted a bit of a cold. [...]
