The dog ate my homework and my Corvette

Here is a link to the Obama’s team, “Path to Viability for GM and  Chrysler.”

I would encourage all of you to spend a few minutes and read the document.  I also need someone who is far smarter than me to tell me something good about this report. 
Also in the those who don’t learn from history [...]

rambling I am I am

Top of the morning to ya.  It’s a beautifully yucky end of March day here in the Happy Valley. 
Well so much for my NCAA hoops bracket thingees.  Man I suck at those things.  I just can’t separate my head from my heart when I am trying to pick a winner.  I mean come on, who didn’t think [...]

Oreo and the Miracle of the Hot Dog

I started this posting the better part of a year ago (actually looking back at the log I realize it was Aug 2007).  You see I was convinced then, that our Old English Sheepdog, Oreo, was about to pass away and I was sad.  Really sad.  That sadness went the way of the miracle hotdog.
The Miracle [...]

Concession to the depression of the Recession Confession

I usually try and stay away from current events but  I thought I’d a share a few synaptic provocateur free rambling  observations on the world today….ok maybe not totally s.p. free
First, there is a great Op Ed piece in the NY Times today from an AIG employee.  As my brother said, “there’s always two sides to [...]

Oh Deer

A pozitoodinally spectacular morning here in the Happy Valley.  A bit cool and breezy, however, the trending is for it to continue to get warmer as the week goes along.
From my key vantage point on the couch there doesn’t appear to be a cloud in the sky and that big ol’ sun is doing everything [...]

Groovy

It’s been two weeks since my last post and it feels like two centuries.  
The leg continues to mend, I think.  I am getting around more, albeit not getting around better. 
We need to start using the word Groovy again.  Don’t ask where that came from, it is a very pozitoodinally correct word.  Say it with me, [...]

stuff this

Weird things amaze me.  One of those amazing things happened today.
I went to the post office to get my mail – you see I have a PO Box.  Since my leg thingee I hadn’t gotten to the mail box in a few days.  Ok, like three weeks.  What’s the big deal, it’s simply full of  [...]

Shower Power

Day 16 post surgery.  I am now in an aircast which is great.  I can remove it to take a shower.  A shower,  ah a shower – what a wonderfully luxurious activity that we take for granted everyday. 
It’s been 4 days without any pain pills and my head is finally starting to clear.  The combination of [...]

Lick my Toes

Happy pozitoodinally righteous Tuesday.  Make someones day! 
It’s a little bit after 6am and I am sitting –  actually laying, with my leg elevated on the couch that has become my nest since my leg thingee a few weeks ago.  I am looking out on a beautiful late Winter New England morning.  The fresh snow from yesterdays [...]
