Happy Christmas, Everyone
Wednesday, 24 December 2008 8:08 A GMT-06
It's been kind of tough this year as everybody knows. And I think it goes beyond reduced retail sales. I've gotten fewer Christmas cards this year and the truth is that didn't get around to sending Christmas cards either.

Brilliant TV Finales
Thursday, 18 December 2008 10:21 P GMT-06
Sunday night I watched the finale, and reunion show, for Survivor Gabon. Without a doubt, the jury members - Corinne and Randy in particular - were some of the nastiest Survivors yet. In fact, they were so unpleasant, and held such a grudge against t

Recently, my sweet cat Princess and I have been engaged in a battle of wills. Sadly, I think she's winning. Now I wish I could claim my Princess is as talented as Sandy's Rufus, but that's just not the case. While she loves to play with t
