I'd settle for the #2 slot!

Get your position here
OK - so Poppy Cedes has position 3429, just ahead of me. I asked her if she would appoint me VP should her position come up. I haven't heard back from her. Do you think that's a "no"?

Battle Explosion "haters" need to GET A LIFE!

I'm all for a little friendly competition but the Battle of the Blogs over at Blog Explosion is becoming a forum for people to whine, leave nasty comments and just generally be vindictive. I mean this "you didn't vote for me so I'm not voting for you" mentality belongs in kindergarten. It's nice to see some new faces over there because some of the regulars are getting out of control. I actually saw someone POST that they would make someones blog experience hell if they crossed her! Now really! Grow up..........Seriously!

A souvenir

Every club, restaurant, bar, etc., in NYC has these postcard displays for advertisers. I used to take the ones I really liked, spray my bathroom wall with adhesive, and plaster them for my enjoyment. This one is an all time favorite and just had to come with me when I moved.

Stop the insanity!

This is certainly not a political blog so I won't get into that junk but come on! It's got to stop! How do you folks out there with those gas guzzlers afford it? And dare I say that most of you support the war. I'm scratching my head, really! Just don't get it but......go ahead, bring it on. I can take it!

Is it OCD or just plain anal?

I decided (actually it was Mom's suggestion) to do the sky first in this puzzle so I don't get so darned frustrated at the end. Notice how I have pulled the top section down for easy access! Scary, huh? So, here are the sky pieces meticulously lined up like little soldiers, like kinds together naturally. I don't think I need to mention that the border HAD to be done before considering anything else. I think I may need medication. This can't be normal. Seriously!

Keepin' the Vibe Alive

I can't say enough about the time I had at Vibes. You just KNOW when you go to a music festival that you'll hear tons of great music. But, in case you don't know these guys, let me introduce you to Deep Banana Blackout. Here is their website if you'd like to check them out and if they are going to be in your area, you should seriously consider checking them out. I don't see how you could be disappointed. They're a whole lotta' funk and a whole lotta' rock and roll!

Now THAT'S entertainment!

I saw my first ever demolition derby tonight at the Addison County Fair just a few miles down the road. What a hoot it was. This is some very cool shite. Had a great time. When my sister asked our dear son/nephew-in-law what the winner claimed his reply was simply "fame". And so it is, so it is.
