C’mon, sing along with me:
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn’t belong?
If you guessed this one is [...]

THE PAINTER
The painter stood before her work
She looked around everywhere
She saw the pictures and she painted them
She picked the colours from the air
Green to green, red to red
Yellow to yellow in the light
Black [...]

Four years ago today, I got the call telling me that my dearest friend was brain dead from post-partum hemorrhage; the next two days were a blur of grief and pain as I waited for the call telling me her life support had been disconnected. Today I will celebrate Karen’s life, and the beautiful [...]

With Edwards officially out, I have lost the little sliver of hope that we could somehow get this country even marginally close to back on the same path. You might have noticed that I have been staying away from much political blogging. I feel that cynicism is something that shouldn’t be shared or spread around. [...]

Too many calories in that box of chocolates? Too many Ben Franklins to get those diamond earrings? Don’t want to give roses because they only last a few days?
Give a purtty present instead.
The Humane Society for Southwest Washington is offering a Valentine Special through February 15. All cat adoptions [...]

Clark County tornado
Was having lunch at the Dragon King restaurant on 78th street around noon time today and luck was with me. We took one of our dogs with us and because of him, I parked as far away from the restaurant as possible in the parking lot because he has territorial issues.
Was finishing up [...]

I always feel hungover on New Year’s, despite the fact that I drink about 10 ounces of alcohol a year. (No one who knew me in college would ever believe I’ve become such a lightweight.)
No, my annual hangovers are a result of having my birthday, Christmas and New Year’s all fall in the same week, [...]

“Sorry to interrupt, but I had one of those brain learnin’ things that wasn’t there a minute ago…”
Have a great Christmas, Solstice, Mithras, Saturnalia, Hanukkah, Festivus, Holiest of High Holy Shopping Day, Stuffmas, or whatever you call it.
I call it Christmas out of convenience, despite neither being a Christian or having much of a religious [...]

UPDATE: I was wrong. Mr. Osbrink was trained in the use of weapons; he is an Iraq war vet who earned a Bronze Star for two instances of courageous action. Neither of these facts were included in the initial story I read this morning. I admit, when I read that Mr. Osbrink “shot and killed [...]
