Letter to AT&T

Dear AT&T,

Wow! Thanks for the $5 “courtesy” adjustment on my cell phone bill!

That really helps compensate me for weeks of missed calls, dropped calls, and voice mails delivered five and ten hours after the call.

Just because this has been going on for several weeks now, I can understand why

Our day trip on Aaron's birthday

Yesterday morning, Alicia folded 13,000 copies of Coffee News while I did other stuff and went to a BNI meeting.

Then we raced around doing I-can’t-even-remember-what.

We rented a car so we wouldn’t experience being stuck in the middle of nowhere in one of our 200k plus mileage

Interesting and not surprising — most scientists are Democrats

This is interesting. Most scientists are Democrats. Few are Republicans.

I’m guessing (not scientific at all) that most business owners are Republicans.  I know the US Chamber of Commerce endorsed Bush for President.  Not sure if they endorsed McCain.

I admit it. I watched Michael Jackson’s funeral.  Every bit of it.  And I watched the clips repeatedly replayed and all the commentary.  I spent many, many hours watching TV today.  I guess it was like a holiday.

Did everyone else do this too?

Volcano cloud

Walking to my Mom’s house the other night, I encountered a magnificent cloud.  It looked like a volcano at the end of East Corriher Avenue.

I was reminded today, by a woman who spent most of her life in Wyoming, that the sky is rather small around here.

“So many trees,” she

Poodle Puppies

I have new respect for pet photographers.

Carol Archie in China Grove is advertising her puppies in our paper, Coffee News.  I went to her house to see the puppies and organize the ad.

I wanted to offer a trade — a puppy for the ad.  My wife said no way.

She’s

I like drama okay.  I love humor.  My favorite passages in books are those moments of irony — usually toward the end when you’ve lived with the characters a good while — when humor and tragedy collide.  This is what makes a masterpiece:  a work that makes us laugh, love,
