Eleven Squared! Woo-hoo!

:: Anybody out there had any experience or have insights into ear candling? (Sounds like hooey to me.)

:: Why Al Roker is in my dreams, I don't know. (This man needs some stronger hallucinogenics. Salty language alert.)

:: I did the fake Christmas tree for a few years. But every year when I put that thing together, I would end up with scratches up and down my arm, some kind of puncture wound, a tree that looked like a drunk person put it together and a near nervous breakdown. (Nobody told me that Michele of formerly A Small Victory was blogging here. Demerits for all of you.)

:: I have to admit, though, that every time I see a new smear on Clinton, I waver. I figure if the fringe right hates her that much, she's probably just what we need. (I'm in a similar quandary. I actually lean toward Obama, but part of me really wants a Hillary Clinton presidency, just so I can watch Republican heads explode.)

:: I am pragmatic enough to recognize that many things I hope for will never come to pass. But I will deal with that each time it happens. I am still holding hard onto hope. (Not sure Belladonna would approve, but I can't help but read this with my mind doing the voice of Morgan Freeman.)

:: Now suppose you’re in your favorite bar and a big guy dressed in black leather, hung about with chains, walks over and bets you a hundred bucks that you can’t name the twelve cranial nerves. Here’s how you can conquer and win his hundred. (Great. Now he tells me.)

:: Imagine the Buffalo Skyway creatively re-engineered and readapted to function as a signature “green” multi-use mega-structure, complete with a glass enclosed “green roof” and pedestrian pathway instead of as an overhead roadway. (Wow. Just...wow.)

And there we have it.
