The Return of “Life-Part Two” By Special Request
June 29, 2007

Life-Part Two
04Apr07

I like to write, but I do so from a different approach.
I sit down in front of my computer (named Darren– a mispelled tribute to Bobby, the cool, hep-cat 60’s crooner, as opposed to Dick York) , turn it on and stare at it as it glares back at me.
This is a daily ritual.   I never [...]

The Long Ride Home
June 28, 2007

Let me begin this particular post with a joke that I think, is most fitting:
A woman was unhappy with the way her laundry was done at the local Chinese Laundry, so she wrote a note and put it in the bag with the next collection of soiled clothes: “USE MORE SOAP ON PANTIES!”
She got her [...]

The Music of Your Life
June 26, 2007

You know that old saying: “Music hath…. something that soothes the uh…uh.. savage boob or is it the left one…” I don’t remember exactly how it goes, but suffice it to say that music is a such a vital part of life.
Music along with certain smells, can whisk us back in time faster [...]

In lieu of….
June 25, 2007

Hi Kids,
Sorry. The results from your favorite songs lists will have to be postponed for one more night. I’m sorry, but The Laurie has something else to do tonight. I must wait for “him” to call.
And by “him” of course, I mean Jamie Deen…the handsome Georgian hunk and [...]

I CAN HAS CHEEZY BLOG

Doth sayeth Ali G.
Pardon the randomness of this post. I’m simply biding my time, waiting on a friend to bear thee hence to my abode (Mantua West) and from here, he’ll ferry me to ye old inn where we will sup on roasted swine, pheasant and of course, we’ll throw back a [...]

June 22, 2007

Thanks to my good friend and fellow blogger, the gifted Scott

I am giving you, my readers, something to ponder and write about this weekend.
I want to know your top three (take four if you need it) favorite songs and why they are your favorite songs.
It can be because you liked the beat, the orchestration, the [...]

For The Love of Longhorns
June 19, 2007

If people know anything about Meg at all, they’d know she has a fervent, undying love for the University of Texas Longhorns.
More specifically, the football team.
Make no mistake about it, she is a fan.

Devoted.
Rabid.
And will be until the day she dies.
Meg loves college football and [...]

I Wanted To Go Camping…God Help Us All!
June 19, 2007

Although I was born and raised in a small South Central Texas town, I never knew all that much about true rurality. Compared to some of the kids I grew up with, I was by all intents and purposes, a “city” girl. I never knew anything about feeding beasts of burden, slopping swine or milking [...]

It’s Now 37 Things I Love and Loathe
June 18, 2007

1. I love walking along the beach on cold, cloudy winter afternoons. I guess I must’ve been a Pilgrim in another life.
2. I love to lunch. Two to three hour lunches with good friends and a few bottles of wine. There is NOTHING like going back to the office with [...]

Father’s Day
June 14, 2007

June is always a difficult time for me.

Father’s Day usually falls on the third Sunday of the month. I dread this particular day. I’ve never had a great relationship with my dad and this Father’s Day will mark almost six years since I last laid eyes on him.
My brother has been insisting [...]
