Fall is my favorite time of year. All those pumpkins, falling leaves, coat weather, dry and sunny days. I pick up my pumpkin on Saturday.

I love this guy. He oozes cynicism. Check out: Political Assasin Robot Boyfriends Abortion Party Zombies Robot Wife Terrorist Cell

If America were Iraq, what would it look like? This is great. And, from the Guardian: “Poll Giving Kerry Lead Stirs Controversy.” Funny, how it’s only the polls that give *Kerry* a lead that stir up controversy, huh? And, you gotta give props to Southern Africa: MANZINI, Swaziland – Bus conductors in Swaziland vowed on

Going out to lunch with the guys is always a fun affair. It doesn’t happen often, as I’m a woman and a glorified admin., but when it does, I have a good time. Last week I went out with Yellow, Blaine, Dee and Jose (one of the architects). We went out to this italian deli

Needless to say, it was a really interesting discussion. My brother’s white, good-looking, and comes from an upper-middle class family. He’s never had to worry about healthcare or

It’s still a sad day when most people aren’t voting *for* the democratic candidate: they’re voting *against* the President (I include myself in this category). And, of course, I’m pretty stuck on this one: one wants to limit women’s health choices. One believes they should have choices. I’m pretty stuck on that issue alone. Not

Today’s a writing day. Cleaned up and sent out some stories that have been sitting, bumping up my stories-out count from 3 to 6 (paltry, I know – my highest count was 21 stories out, and that was the year I sold three stories. A good example of the Law of Averages). I have several
