Off the top of my head, I can come up with at least a dozen things I find wrong with both Sarah Palin and W. But one thing that I refuse to hold against them is their pronunciation of the word “nuclear.” I’m actually going to cut them some slack on that one, because while [...]

A little science goes a long way
When you get up before 6AM every day, you’ve got to do your best to enjoy it. And for me, the best part of being up that early is a short radio show sponsored by the power company that comes on every day at 5:45. It’s called Almanac, and I’ve written about it before. Because [...]

I have the accurate compass, and I discovered America
I’ve always held a resentment towards Columbus Day. As a kid, it was because we had school that day in our district, while everyone else in the tri-state area had a day off. (The fact that we didn’t have school on the Jewish holidays or the two days off for the teachers’ convention did not [...]

Friday Five
With apologies and thanks to Stefanie, for being so kind about letting me steal the Friday Five… ONE: Went to Jersey yesterday to get the radio in my car fixed. (Random buttons would stop working at random intervals.) They gave me a refurbished one which is exactly like the old one, except that it only [...]

Wheezy
I had a little housewarming party on Saturday, and right after the last guest left, I had some kind of crazy ass allergy or asthma attack. I tried to sleep, but the sound of my own wheezing kept waking me up. I’m assuming the attack was not caused my my dear guests, but by the [...]

14502 X 4, then turn your calculator upsdide down
Other than becoming faster, wetter, and always late for work, there’s only one other significant thing that is different about my life since joining the swim team over a year ago. And that’s the fact that I’m now totally comfortable with naked time in the shower after practice. The other gals and I often have [...]

I tried to sleep my way to the top: but my alarm clock always wakes me right up
The great catfight of 2008 has broken out again. The short armistice brought on by the new apartment and the new meds has been broken by Micki and Lucy. Like clockwork, they fight at 3AM every morning. I wake up, scoop up Micki, put her in the bedroom and lock the door, trying to enjoy [...]
