Tête-à-Tête-Tête

It has been seven years since I have had to deal with this.
I have almost forgotten how to do it. I have spent a good deal of time staring out the window and watching the wind blow and listening to the rain fall.
My favorite Dog blog has locked comments and I don’t blame him.
It was [...]

My Thanksgiving was made yesterday when my sweetie brought me home a one dollar DVD from the bargain bin at the grocery store. It’s Jewel, Live at Humphrey’s by the Bay. My goodness, but I can’t get enough of Jewel.
One of my all-time favorites was a recording she paired up with Merle Haggard [...]

Top 10 things you can only say at Thanksgiving!
10. Talk about a huge breast!
9. Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist.
8. If I don’t undo my pants, I’ll burst!
7. That’s one terrific spread!
6. It’s a little dry, do you still want to eat it?
5. Just wait your turn, you’ll get some!
4. Don’t [...]

Since before our own Zach Wamp got into the game, it was easy for me to predict how the right would explain the crisis in the auto industry. It turns out that it has nothing to do with the big 3 making crappy cars that no one wants to buy, that the economy sucks [...]

What type is yours?
And how did the tete-tete-tete analysis come out?
The charming and trend savvy type. They are especially attuned to the big picture and anticipate trends. They often have sophisticated language skills and come across as witty and social. At the end of the day, however, they are pragmatic decision makers and have a [...]

I just wanted to pass on a nice article from the latest UUWorld.  Hold on, by William F. Schulz.  It reads a bit like corny self-help psychology, but the more I read, the more I realized the thoughts are on the money, and useful to people like me and mine.
So I am not suggesting for [...]

Interesting interview with Cathleen Falsani held back in 2004 just before Obama became a Senator.
I was surprised to see him refer to his mother in the interview as being a Christian when in his book “The Audacity of Hope” he says she was an atheist. In the book he does say that she was one of the most spiritual [...]
