So This is the New Year

… I don’t feel any different. Well as I’d like to make it my tradition, I wanted to mention my favorite things of 2006. Looking back, I don’t know whether I didn’t really do anything last year, or if I just can’t remember what I did. I suppose you can read through my trip diaries …

Hallelujah, It’s Raining Men

I have to work at the only place in the world where you can walk through the “warehouse” section of the building and here It’s Raining Men.  It’s also not odd to hear Private Dancer, My Heart Will Go On, or anything by Cher.  For anyone who has worked anywhere near a warehouse, you’ll realize …

Crummy Church Signs

There’s a church on my drive home from work that consistently has bad/cheesy/confusing sayings on their marquee. For example here’s the most recent: “No shots fired — Democracy works” I’ve been racking my brain to figure out what on earth that means. And here’s one they had several months ago that also perplexed me: “No …

Voting Day

Well I hope you all went out and voted for whatever lesser of two evils you decided on. I’m so glad it’s over because I’ve really had enough of the negative add campaigns. Both DeVos and Granholm in Michigan have been pretty ridiculous. I think the one that pissed me off the most was the …
