- Apart from the transport controls, when I click something in Windows Media Player it almost never does what I expect it to. I’ve been using computers for more than 30 years, and GUIs for more than 25, and I can’t recall having a poorer sustained relationship with a program.
- I generally like foods for which lime or vanilla are the primary flavors. However, if it’s a lime or vanilla variety of a food for which something else is the primary flavor, then I find it cloying. “A hint of” lime or vanilla roils my tummy reliably enough that I just stay away now.
- I haven’t been nearly as good as I’d like in February on diet and activity. Rather than getting discouraged and quitting, I’m hunkering down. That’s what you do with slow-burn, forever situations.
- Giving up alcohol for Lent certainly won’t hurt.
- However, my renewed interest in the bread machine isn’t particularly helpful.
- Nathan learned a bit about Helen Keller in school, and is fascinated with her. He was delighted when I told him we only lived a short ride from her house. We planned to go Monday. So it snowed.
- Obama’s health care “summit” of February 25 is widely regarded as a trap for the GOP, but I think they can win it outright. I’m pleased to see some prominent agreement.

I don’t remember the source, but I recall hearing that Helen was quite the horndog. Given the acuity of her three functioning senses, I can only imagine the intensity.
I love our bread machine. We credit it to selling our last house. We had a couple come look as the bread was in the awesome cycle where it smells so good… They made an offer that day!
Beware! It’s heady, intricate, and complex, so you probably won’t be able to understand the free-market healthcare solution.
Lee: Man, that’s just…I don’t know. Off.
Kelly: Ours was set to be ready about 6:45 this morning. Totally awesome…
Greg: That’s way too complicated for me. I need Our Betters to handle it for me.
