Geezus and Goofus find a dead body encased in ice from head to its kneecaps in a cargo elevator in said warehouse. Goofus: Wow, look! A dead body! Should we wonder who it is…

H.o.p. Didn't Get Pics of the Inauguration From His Uncle As His Uncle Had a Purple Ticket

My brother-in-law, Rob, and his boyfriend, Ray, were two of the individuals with purple tickets who never made it in to the inauguration. Ray chronicled the experience with a video that is housed in the Facebook, Videos from Survivors of the Purple Tunnel of Doom Group.

In Which I get Justice John G. Roberts’ Number Pegged

I was reading on another blog a post asking if readers’ kids had watched the inauguration and events at school. The most common reply was yes, they’d taken a 1/2 hour out of studies and they saw nothing wrong with it as it’s history. A half hour? Hell, we took the whole day. We started…

We’re Going to Need Some Good Music During the Long Walk Back

Yesterday afternoon I spent quite a long time talking on the phone to an old friend who lives half this continent away while H.o.p. was with Marty touring the Jim Henson exhibit at the Atlanta History Center. She was adamant I bring up NPR on the radio and listen to the concert at the Lincoln…

Photocopied Drinkware

When I was in my 20’s I did a lot of hand tinting of photos. Then I started going to the library and photocopying images from books and most frequently working on them with pastels and colored pencils and ink. The photos were always old black and white ones of things like the Lion Gate…

Drinkware as Comedy

P.S. Every day this happens at least once. I open the refrigerator door and the mustard (or tabasco sauce or cheese or butter dish) falls out of the side door and lands on my foot. “OUCH!” I think, if I don’t say it. I bend to pick the fallen object up and as I straighten…
