Is It Wrong To Hate Him?

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was ticketed Tuesday for his role in a wreck involving four cars.  Fortunately or unfortunately there were no injuries except to the vehicles — including Scalia’s, which had to be towed. According to U.S. Park Police, Scalia was driving south on the parkway approaching Roosevelt Bridge when he rear-ended a car that had stopped for traffic, triggering a chain reaction. Accidents happen all the time.  People fail to pay attention and because they're behind the wheel of a two-ton monster, innocent people suffer.   I'm a little guilty....and perplexed by my own reaction when I read...

This...Was Moi' This Morning

I'm in the middle of a sex dream involving Alec Baldwin, Rush Limbaugh and Jimmy Kimmel (don't ask) and just as it's getting to the good part...my bliss is broken by a scream in the distance, "GEEEEOOOOOFFFFFF! There's a bird in the stove!" I woke with a start, not quite sure of where I was.  But it all came flooding back.....I'm spending a week at moms, and thanks to the wind storm last night I now had a job to do. My parents house came with a beautiful old wood stove, that they never use.   They tried it once but the house filled up with smoke, and since that day it's been 'decorative'.  It's also been...

Foodie Sunday

Every sunday is "Foodie Sunday" in our house, and today we made a baked Tortellini Casserole.  We've found if you portion right after cooking you can have some during the week, freeze some for whenever, and have a better success rate of NOT overeating!

Apparently I Have Been Doing It All Wrong

I just had a great shower.   Not just because I needed one (which I did), and not because I did anything naughty (damnit).  It was just one of those awesomely enjoyable showers. Plenty of hot water.....the feeling of getting clean....relaxing....invigorating.  "A Shower To Remember" as it were. I've never been a tub kinda guy.  Since I was a kid showers have been king.  I remember Rosie O'Donnell on The View, talking about showers being a great help for her depression, and apparently she showered around five times a day.  (that's a lot of water and time).  I don't think showering solved all her...

Rest In Peace Elizabeth

I was never a huge Elizabeth Taylor groupie but I was definitely a fan.  Her beauty was inescapable, her work unarguable and her friendship coveted. After her longtime friend Rock Hudson died from AIDS, Taylor helped found the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) and started the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. Her star-power was such that she not only survived championing a cause such as AIDS but she helped to change minds and raise money over the years....thus saving lives on both counts. Rest in Peace Elizabe...
