So, uh…how was everyone’s Memorial Day? Mine was good. Reno at Dear Old Dad’s put the kibosh on our usual holiday Roast Beast Feast, but the family managed to get together anyhow. That’s always a pleasure. I spent most of the time, however, doing homework (not a pleasure) and then rewarding myself by watching my [...]

High-Security Bits

So, has the security insanity taken over your life? Did it make your commute soul-crushingly awful? Or don’t you care at all? Maybe you’re not in DC, and you don’t even know what I’m on about! If I were First Lady, my “Signature Issue” would be: Reining In The Secret Service. To demonstrate my commitment, [...]

I’m excited! MC is going to come for a visit! She’s one of my very favorite folks. So, huzzah! We will enjoy the sights, eat delicious food, commiserate about BigLaw life, generally enjoy ourselves, as we always do. I can’t wait! I love visitors. Seriously. This is the number three tourist destination in the U.S. [...]
If stuff this idiotic can be published by a NYT columnist, then I am obviously getting short-changed on the reader count for this blog (not that I don’t love you guys! I do!). Or, I chose the wrong line of work when casting about after the USSR collapsed. Oh, wait. President Obama is older than [...]

You know, I don’t actually read comics, graphic novels, whatever, though I do enjoy the films. Why do I need to read them when there is dorky commentary like this just waiting in my RSS reader? So, so awesomely dorky. I don’t understand all of it, but love it anyway! To me, that’s the perfect [...]
Senior Night Bits

It’s an early day: Basketball Senior Night for the Dance Team. Zoikes. Just as I stopped feeling old from the Football Senior Night, here comes another one. Plus, I have to take my car in for repairs tonight. (Have I mentioned that it is completely awesome having a mechanic in the family? He’s totally trustworthy! [...]
Black Sky with Alpenglow
Posted in Posts, tagged sunset, tidbits on January 26, 2010 | Comments Off
Yesterday was one of those odd winter days…the January Thaw. 65 blonking degrees, sort of rainy, and very windy. The wacky barometric pressure made my hands ache. It was all very odd. The oddest of all, though, was the light when I left work. Black skies! But still there was alpenglow on the tops of [...]
Tidbits en français

I was so jazzed-up writing about the big games, I forgot your tidbits. I even had a whole français theme ready to go, in celebration of the big Saints victory and the natural alliance between France and Scotland…it’s Burns Night tonight, after all: Lyric of the day: “dis à quoi tu rêves, rêves, rêves, quand [...]

Hole-y Rusted Metal, Batman! It’s been so long, I almost forgot your tidbits! Lyric of the day: “I’m not blind, and I know that you want to want me but you can’t let go, c’mon, let go” Flashback of the day: Seeing that star destroyer fill the screen for the first time. That blew my [...]
Welcome Back, it’s Snowflake Season
Posted in Posts, tagged football, thanksgiving, tidbits on November 30, 2009 | Comments Off
Did everyone have a great Thanksgiving? I know I did. I decided at virtually the last moment to take last Wednesday off from work, and drive all day to mom’s house instead of all night. It was a good decision. I left early, and though there were a few slowdowns, for the most part the [...]
