Sometimes I think that my life is absurd. That things just aren’t right. That there just couldn’t be anyone else that has this much of a soap opera of a life.

Okay, here’s some more stuff that I just think is worth mentioning. To continue from yesterday:

It’s been awhile since I have done this, so I figured why not. Here’s a summary of some of the more offbeat, underreported items that I found of interest.
An Indiana eighth grader won the Scripps National Spelling Bee by spelling the word guerdon, which ironically means reward. My favorite moment came in an [...]

I know I live alone, with my dog and the unpredicted cat. And there are times when you could swear that the pillow was over here, now it was over there; or when you could have sworn you had another beer or soda in the fridge but when you look there is none; or when [...]

While I sit here and try to find something to write about tonight (something every day since April 11, almost halfway to the 60 day goal!) I am not finding much that is topic worthy in the news or in general. So here is a wrap up of a few things that have been [...]
