Two For Tuesday – 298

Our Independence Day vacation was great! Except for one day when it rained (and we went to the movies) we had fabulous pool weather. Lots of sun with temperatures in the high 80s and low 90s. Since it was so hot and everyone else was inside in the air conditioning, we decided to take some [...]

Amazingly the US Women live to play another day in the Women’s World Cup after defeating Brazil on penalty kicks. The officiating was suspect; but, in the end, it didn’t matter.

I don’t even know what day it is unless I think about it. It doesn’t really matter because California Girl and I are on vacation. It’s not much fun working for months without a day off; but it’s great having so much time to relax over the holidays. We had a wonderful Christmas. Santa was [...]

Cyber Monday

Random thoughts on Cyber Monday: Were the people who invented the phrase “Cyber Monday” aware that cyber is also a term for online sex? I HATE going back to work on Mondays after being on vacation. Today was especially miserable since I didn’t get much sleep because of the long drive to take The Boy [...]
