Lessons from the earthquake

Home again
Busy, but home again. And I see the terror groups still think a cease-fire includes firing rockets at Israel. Don’t worry, the MSM will declare that a “lull” as well. More later.

Just read a few of the news sites and my blood pressure about doubled. So I’m sticking with my decision to not write about the news for the foreseeable future. It’s my very own watermelon-rind helmet. (You’ll have to click … Continue reading
A mile wide and a foot deep
There’s a saying about how a person’s knowledge of a subject is a mile wide and an inch deep. I say that my knowledge is generally a mile wide and a foot deep, because I am fortunate enough to retain … Continue reading

Retro blogging
Yeah, I’m totally going to ignore most of the news and post personal bloggy things. For instance, I’m glad I didn’t really want to see a midnight showing of Harry Potter DH2. I’m tired enough to go to bed now; … Continue reading

I can see clearly now
Okay, so I had Lasik surgery in November, and I don’t need glasses for anything but reading and close-up work now. In fact, I can actually blog without my glasses (though it feels a bit weird). And lately, I’ve been … Continue reading

Oy, what a day
