Etch-A-Sketch


Okay, so maybe it doesn't work exactly like the old skool Etch-A-Sketch used to, but then it woudln't, now would it? That's why it's called the Web Etch-A-Sketch. Entertaining, for about a... MINUTE! That should give me time to dig up something else.

Social Calendar

Yes, it's true. The Social Calendar is on it's way back. However, since I now have this handy, dandy little blog site, I'm considering posting it here instead of sending out a weekly newsletter. Check back; I'll have an update soon!

Battle of the Beaters

I drove my beater car, BeeBee (short for Beautiful Beater, the stylin' 88 Sentra), to work today and encountered another grrl in a beater; a Sentra a couple of years newer than mine. I laughed when I saw the modified exhaust and huge, soup can tail pipe. She caught my laugh and smiled back. We eyed each other up and took our places on the starting line. (Okay, so it was a stop light, but let's not get technical here).

Anyway, the flag dropped (light turned green and traffic moved out of the way) and we were off. I floored it and pulled out to the lead of the pack, totally losing Newer Beater Sentra (NBS) in traffic. Apparently, I "greatly underestimated the level of sneakiness," because a couple of miles later, NBS was along side me, having deftly moved her way through heavy traffic. No way she was going to beat me!!

A few narrow lane changes, a grab to secure the very full cup of coffee, precariously secured in the "pre-cup holder" cup holder (i.e., between the seat and emergency brake handle) and I was out ahead of all traffic, including NBS and then, - DAMN - the light turns red. NBS pulled along side me, smiled, gave a "good race" nod and waved. The light changed and she turned off a few short blocks later. Aaaahhhh, great way to wake up and start the day. No where's what's left of my coffee?

So, there was this conversation regarding whether the term "codpiece" had anything to do with "cod," the fish. Well, leave it to our trusty researcher of the weird, Davezilla, to come up with the answer.

YAY!!! Finally, my changes have arrived!! (funny how they show up the evening after I blast Blogger....) Anyway, on to the celebration!!!
