More Miscellaneous Rambling If you haven't heard, it's election day. Get out and vote. The more people that vote, the more people that vote. Somehow, that's supposed to be a good thing, though for the life of me, I can't figure out

Miscellaneous Rambling Well, a good weekend comes to a close. Middle daughter, Meg, placed 12th at the state cross-country meet on Saturday, garnishing her attention from an assortment of D1 and D2 colleges. Michigan rolled over the Pedophiles at State University, a program that shouldn't even exist in

Miscellaneous Rambling Whew. Food poisoning Sunday night. It was rough . . . really rough. I started to recover late Monday morning, but I was groggy the rest of the day. At least it gave me a chance to clean my study/office/library/gardening-supply-center/recording studio. I'm lobbying Marie to

Brews You Can Use Unwind. Brutal week at the office. It promised to be a light week, but that promise was broken by Tuesday afternoon. After I rolled into my house at 11:00 on Wednesday night, I decided to work half days on Thursday and Friday. I crashed for
