One thing about living in the midwest is that the seasons change faster than Cher’s eyebrows. (seriously, is it just me or does it look like they’re trying to crawl off her face??)
Here in our little corner of Missouri, it’s all rolling hills, lakes and, of course, trees. Everywhere. You can’t throw […]

I love filling out and sending party invitations. Other than the fact that Steve and I love to throw parties (minus the clean-up…blick!), it also gives me something to look forward to socially.
Don’t get me wrong, we’re very social…but parties are pretty much the only way we can get our “townie” friends to haul […]

When I got out of bed this morning it was just another day. Another day closer to the weekend. Coffee brewing…cats fed and their toys and hairballs picked up…shower and pills taken. Just another day in paradise.
Or so I thought.
No, today it appears I woke up in a different country…a different time. A republic […]

Dreams are weird. Especially those brought on during a sleep induced by a new pain medication.
Last night I was dreaming about my plants - you know, because I’m that married…probably because it’s getting to be that time of year when they need to come in to the greenhouse.
{I’ve heard stories about how […]

If it weren’t for the fact that the talking heads out there in media land are so laughable - especially as we get ever closer to the midterm elections - one would quite undestandably want to throttle them.
I speak mainly of those who just bald-faced lie on the air and/or in print.
Case in point:
Tucker Carlson […]

UPDATE
Due to the popularity of the YouTube videos below, FOX Network has yanked all videos showing the below-mentioned interview between Chris Wallace and Bill Clinton. After digging around on the net, it appears FOX’s original intent to hang 9/11 around Clinton’s neck BACKFIRED. As a result, FOX Network is crying ‘copyright infringement’ against […]

I could be very off base here, but the need to rant outweighs the show of over-sensitivity.
Add one more radio station to my list of sell-out’s who hire on popular and supposedly ‘funny’ DJ’s who like to crack every gay stereotype and mean-spirited joke.
Thanks, Air America Radio. You’ve given me yet another reason […]

Since I woke up with a lovely migraine this morning, staring at this monitor would be about as fun - and painless - as sticking a fork in my eye. So please enjoy some random humor instead of the usual crap.
Bathroom Wall: TOILET OUT OF ORDER. PLEASE USE FLOOR BELOW
In a Laundromat: AUTOMATIC WASHING […]

Finally, I managed to find a video that about sums up the Democratic Party…from 2000 until this November 7th. In this video, the Democrats are portrayed by the dog (Brian) and the Republicans are being played by the kid (Stewie).
Pay particularly close attention to the very end…Which represents November 7th.

Today’s meeting at the UN should prove to be very interesting. Not for what happens, but rather for what doesn’t happen.
President Bush will be in the same building as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He plans to give a stinging speech today regarding the ongoing war on terror, part of which is supposed to include […]

So, here's where I'm supposed to tell you something about me. Fine. I'm just a recent transplanted "MO" here in Fresno, CA. After 32 years living in the Midwest, I decided to haul my pale ass to where I could tan and be seen GETTING tan. I'm Italian, so I spend my days fighting off the adoring men and raging against all in life that seems stupid to me. So I blog about a LOT of stuff.
My current blog is The Tempest Online. Please feel free to peruse around, leave comments and, hey, buy a t-shirt while you're at it. I have one and you should, too.
If you want to see more of what's in my head, visit My MySpace Page.
