Like White on Rice: A Love Story



Kudos to my Canadian friend "Chomedian Marilyn" for sending this

Check out this romantic Washington tale while the link remains viable.

Tigers in Five

Tigers in Five



When the Tigers slayed the Yankees (boo hoo) in the ALDS they reclaimed
their position as this year's Team Of Destiny.  Then they made
tidy business of sweeping the A's out of the way in the ALCS.  Jim
Leyland is among the game's very best managers.  He knows how to
bring out the best in his players, as well as being a master
strategist.  They had their one and only slump when the season was
in the final stages.  When it counted more than ever, they rose to
the occasion.

The Lonely Blog

The Lonely Blog

It is a constant source of wonder to me, often of awe, that so many bloggers are able to spend as much time as they do, composing and posting their entries.  Daily entries, sometimes numerous entries per day, truly amazing.  Are they speed-bloggers, writers who are able to knock out a comlpete and edited post at the speed of light?  Are they gifted with the capacity to simply sit at their keyboards and dash off a worthy post?

Relative Semantics, Part 2

More semantic concerns regarding relationships and descriptions, and again we begin with background to clarify the conundrum.  Think about filling out standard questionairres -- age, gender, these are easily answered.  The choices are few, and there are rarely variations or gray areas.

Relative Semantics

Relative Semantics, Part 1

There are all sorts of words and terms for family relationships.  Cousins, second-cousins, sister-in-law, step-brother, relative by marriage, in-law, great aunt, and so forth.  There are terms for former relatives, such as one's ex, or former brother-in-law.  Which leads to the first of a few questions under the heading of relative semantics.

Sweet 16 for Internet Liberty

Sweet 16 for Internet Liberty

The
4th of July is often referred to as the birthday of the country.  Of
course that's a stretch, and Independence Day (the official name of the
holiday) makes more sense.  Coming up in a few days is a birthday of
significant note -- to some, who feel that they "live on the net," it might
just be tantamount to Independence Day for
netizens.
