Death of The Republican Party

The Reps dove in the grave not with one toe, but head first.  Christopher Buckley says the party is dead in this blog post (click here).
Buckley also shares this fantastic joke:
Question: How many Republicans does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: Three. One to mix the martinis, one to change the light bulb, and [...]

Keys to Key West

The South Beach of Miami and Key West held a varitable cornocopia of sites to see. We arrived on the front end of Spring Break, which meant plenty of youth, energy, martinis, mango margueritas, and Cuban pork (with black beans and yellow rice).
Best takeaways of 96 hours out of Minneapolis…

Exit and bulkhead row seating
No winter [...]

I particularly liked how Ron kept [...]

A Poem from Minnesota

It’s winter in Minnesota

And the gentle breezes blow

Seventy miles an hour

At twenty-five below.

Oh, how I love Minnesota

And your nose gets frozen shut.

My Super Power: Defined

And because of this, people are often surprised by what you are capable of.
Why you would [...]

Random Thoughts (Again)

Games We Played 
When I ran across this list of childhood games – adjusted for those of us now crossing over into adulthood – I couldn’t resist posting them here:
1. Sag, you’re It.
2. Hide and go pee.
3. Twenty questions shouted into your good ear.
4. Kick the bucket
5. Red Rover, Red Rover, the nurse says bend over.
6. Musical [...]
