As good as it gets

Took the afternoon off.

Fierce busy and yeah, unbloggy

But back soon . . .

Nothing says seventh grade like . . .

From friend Ed this morning.
How about these?

Jackie Battley’s ex-husband, and Marianne Ginther’s former lover and ex-husband, Callista Bisek’s former lover and current husband for President! Go Newt!

Regina Peruggi’s ex-husband, and Donna Hanover’s former lover and ex-husband, Judith Nathan’s former lover and current husband for President! Go 9/11 Rudy!

Wheee, this is fun!

He did it. LeBron is leaving us.

A few years ago I found myself at a Miami Heat game because my nephew was on the coaching staff of the visiting team. I never let that nephew know, but throughout the game, my eyes were riveted on James, and on the astonishing and quite beautiful thing that is LeBron playing basketball.

So LeBron’s off to Cleveland. . . . LeBron who?

That’s a testament to the brilliance of our constitution and our continuing respect for it. Good for us!

Well this is a new one . . .

Last night I dreamed I was hallucinating. I knew I was hallucinating but I didn’t know I was dreaming.

And now, on an entirely different subject

Please ‘splain to me

Inside the majestic building housing the Supreme Court of the United States (truly a gorgeous building), the Justices yesterday  ruled that the 35-foot buffer zone around an abortion clinic “violated protestors’ freedom of speech”. Outside that same building, the exclusion zone for protestors is 250 feet.
