I am writing this from my usual computer desk in my living room. We have exited the powerless zone. One day after the stunning omission of repair work to our little transformer we have been made whole. CalientePhobia is on the retreat. Unfortunately all is not perfect in suburbia. As we began to power […] Meet Bob and Linda; typical suburbanites trying to navigate the challenges of two kids in college, an ever expanding waistline and a dog with a taste for balcony. We find them pedaling back from a pizza buffet dinner, the first meal in 4 days that wasn’t some forgotten frozen meat cooked on a grill or […] Today (Tuesday) Linda and I went back to work since Thursday. We still don’t have any power and we are out of ice. We cleaned up the house/yard/pool as best we could. Having water is great.

There is a new time waster on the net and it’s name is Twitter. This is a “service” where you, to quote this site ” Twitter is a service […] That is the question our latest political commentator must answer every week. What am I talking about? Not what, who. Our very own Sarah Hope has been recruited to write political commentary for a Aggie journal/blog called AggieWire (now defunct). It hasn’t launched yet but they have assembled their staff and are putting together […] In the immortal words of Steve Martin, “the French, they have a different word for everything!” Well Katie and some of her friends in the French Club went to find out in person. A group of about 16 people embarked on a tour through Paris, Normandy and several small towns in between. There were square […] |
