I'm listening to the Brewers game in Pittsburgh. Adam LaRoche, the Pirates 1b, was just traded to the Red Sox ( Read more... )

What is wrong with me? I got a cactus plant at Lowe's down in IL - and now have left it at my mom's house not once - but twice. Good thing cactuses are hardy. And my mom is nice enough to sprinkle some water on it ( Read more... )

I probably just had one of the most powerful nights of my life. And I can hardly talk about any of it due to confidentiality. I can say that what I was expecting to do tonight (introduce myself to a new group) and what I wound up doing are two vastly different things.

Ah, old Sanford and Son reruns. Always makes me think of the "boys club" in-jokes from the bank days in Baltimore. Someone (not me) earned the nickname of Fred due to his scavenging of old computers that were put out for salvage. Although I am not totally immune. I have 2 working computers, an ancient laptop (that probably still works but won't ( Read more... )
