Sometimes you’re just in awe at the weirdness and scope of the news. Today is one of those days for me. Here goes. The local Maserati dealership closed (as if every community has one) – after being open for only a few months. I could never have predicted that, with the abounding prosperity everywhere. I […]
Make Your Vote Informed
The first time I voted (in 1996), I remember looking at the big piece of paper in front of me and wondering who all those people were and why I hadn’t heard of them or their competitions. I made completely uneducated guesses at who I should vote for because I didn’t know about any of […]
PCOS – My Story
I’ve never been one of those people to censor myself or not talk/write about something that’s sensitive. But some things truly are very private. So this post is difficult to write, due to its private, sensitive nature. PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is typically caused by an imbalance of hormones. This usually means that the woman […]
Unrelated: Adorable Dogs and a Funny Article about Michael Phelps
For a laugh-out-loud experience, please visit this Runner’s World article now! Now, on to the adorable dogs.

What’s that in my sleep aid?

Biking
So Jerry and I just got new bikes and, as you could guess, we are riding as much as possible. Tonight we went for a ride around Glendale, Whitefish Bay, and Fox Point. There were a couple of really tough hills (for me, at least, being so out of shape) but that meant we had […]
New(ish)
I’m redesigning the site. I am using a template that I am customizing to my needs, and I plan on integrating this into my personal site so that they are one. That way they will always look the same and I can just update one thing to update everything. That photo in the center was […]
Sharing Spin
I have a friend who sent me a link the other day to a video on the Internet. She and I are probably on opposite ends of the political spectrum. This video (http://www.eyeblast.tv/Public/Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036) is extremely critical of the candidate I support. While I value her friendship and the fact that we can share things like […]
Juno – Irreverent but irresponsible
I had high expectations for Juno because of the wonderful things I have heard about it from everyone. I saw it with my sister after she got it on DVD. The fact that Diablo Cody, the woman behind Pussy Ranch (which was first at www.pussyranch.net, then moved to http://blogs.citypages.com/dcody/, http://diablocody.blogspot.com/, and now blogs at MySpace: […]
Huge Chunk Of Antarctic Ice Collapses
It’s a couple of weeks old, but I don’t think it has gotten the attention it deserves. We really should be paying more attention to events like this. Please take a look. Huge Chunk Of Antarctic Ice Collapses http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/03/25/tech/main3968165.shtml?source=RSSattr=HOME_3968165
