January 20, 1986
Sunday, January 20th, 2008The United Kingdom and France announced plans to build the Channel Tunnel (Chunnel) and the United States celebrated the first Martin Luther King Day. Our family remembers the date for another reason: we welcomed the second of our three daughters at 9:47pm that evening.Happy Birthday, sweetie.
Raucus Caucus
Saturday, January 19th, 2008Nevada has spoken. A great majority of our Republican residents, in their infinite wisdom, favored Mitt Romney well over the other contenders. Ron Paul took second place over John McCain, then came Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson, and Rudy Guiliani. The last-place candidate turned out to be the hardly-known Duncan Hunter who announced […]
Hazy Shade of Winter
Thursday, January 10th, 2008The skies have been the harsh iron gray caused by heavy clouds for about a week now. I normally think overcast skies would be nice because we get quite a few days of brilliant sunshine here in Nevada, but I think I’ve had enough gloom for the moment. We haven’t had any rain or snow […]

Lovely Weather
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008We’re currently in the midst of yet another storm after the three that pushed through over the weekend. This one is showering us with a mixture of rain and snow that will make our roads even more interesting in the morning.
I’m tired of winter already…
Gold-Plated Globes?
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008The Golden Globes have fallen victim to the continuing writer’s strike. This year’s show has been cut down to a one-hour news conference instead of the normal multi-hour dinner gala. Who’s planning to watch?
Certainly not me. As a struggling writer wanna-be, I am behind the writers 110%. The media moguls need […]
Winter Wonderland
Sunday, January 6th, 2008We’ve had a series of storms here in the west since Friday and things went from being very soggy due to the heavy rains to very white due to heavy snow. Our little city looks beautiful with a thick mantle of white - though I really prefer not having to drive in the stuff […]
End of 2007 Wrap-Up
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008Everyone is doing them, but I don’t really remember much about my year so I’ll just say that 2007 was very interesting. I can only wonder what 2008 will bring.
You’ve probably noticed that my most recent posts are shorter than some of my older ones. I’m going to try to do a little […]
