Where's the Anthem?!
I have been to two different Fourth of July fireworks celebrations this year, and, while both of them featured music, neither featured the one song that ought to be on every Independence Day playlist: The American National Anthem -- The Star Spangled Banner. Francis Scott Key wrote this poem, not...

What's Holding YOU Back?
Partol Sargeant... I mean Success Warrior... asked a very interesting and thought-provoking question in his blog yesterday, and it sparked the following ideas for me. The question was "What is the biggest obstacle holding you back from success?" My first thought was, "Duh! Murphy moved into my spare...

What a Great Idea!
I have been listening to a radio show off-and-on for years. Its time slot makes it hard for me to catch it, but, when I do, I always enjoy the show. I learned about two years ago that the host of the show is my father's boss's cousin. And for the past couple of years, the host (Mr. Horrell) has been...

I Wonder Why....
Today was "Cake Day" at the office. That 's the last Friday of the month. We all wear jeans to the office (even the corporate executives!) and we get together at 4:00 for half an hour of cake and ice cream. The cake has the names of all of the people who celebrated a birthday that month, and the...

An Odd Way to Watch Television
Monday night is all about Hell's Kitchen at our house. It's one of the few shows I will actually record if I can't be home to watch. This past Monday, though, presented us a real problem in getting to watch our show. Hell's Kitchen comes on at 8. On Monday at 6:30, a severe thunderstorm moved...

Keep Your Hands Off My Car!
I got something in the mail yesterday that really has me seeing red. Apparently there is a bill making its way through Congress that seeks to limit the type of vehicles we can drive, the type of engines we can have in our vehicles, and the gas mileage of those vehicles. Whatever happened to the land...

Put the Pampered Princess Back in the Clink!
Paris Hilton wouldn't stop crying, and, in a mere 72 hours of lockup time, was "sinking into a deep depression," so they let her out. Sure, she's confined to home, but, crikey!, have you seen her home?! Look, the spoiled little brat broke the law. And she needs to pay the penalty. And she needs to...

Hell's Kitchen -- the "Kitchen B--ches"
Gordon Ramsay has his work cut out for him this go-round on Hell's Kitchen. Now, I want to say first off that I find Chef Ramsay's foul-mouthed ranting to be very unprofessional and off-putting. But with the stress and pressure of running a top-notch fine-dining establishment, I suppose one's...

Memorial Day
It's Memorial Day here in the States, and I'm off work. Seemed a good time to catch up on a lot of tasks, and since I haven't been able to blog for a week, writing a few posts was top of the list. It's Memorial Day. I remember. My brother, who was in Marine boot camp at Parris Island during the...

Where Are My Readers?
No, this is not a complaint that no one is reading me. I was thinking today about the times when comments appear on my posts, and wondering what audience my posts appeal to. So many comments seem to appear when I'm asleep, and I find them first thing in the morning. So that made me wonder if I had a...
