I’m still thinking Open Thread
Fallow brain this morning. Working on a post, though, so this is kind of a place holder.

Winter break this year was very pleasant. As I may have written before, while I’m not a big fan of small children, I really like teenagers, especially the teenagers my kids bring home. We live in a tight-knit community and my house is often a gathering spot for the kids
Continue readingPaying the bills Open Thread
I’ve put it off long enough. I must pay bills. It’s not a particularly onerous task nowadays, since I do most of it online (fully cognizant of the risks I’m taking, but still giving in to convenience), but I still hate to do. It’s my own fault. Instead of paying

I’m cranking away at a legal brief, so I won’t have time to blog this morning. Please consider this an open thread.
Continue readingTaking my mom to the doctor Open Thread
I’ll be out and about for the next few hours. Please feel free to share anything interesting that’s come your way or that has piqued your interest lately.

I have a legal memo to write, so of course I had to check out all sorts of stuff on the internet first. Here’s a quick run-down. The Left loves to talk about McCarthyism. The Left also loves to practice McCarthyism. John O’Sullivan reminds us that GLAAD’s approach to the

My email inbox produces such wonderful things. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did: I received two articles that are mirror images of each other. The first is an article by Daniel Greenfield, which contains a very good insight about Obama’s magical attraction for the Ivy League

Roger Simon is a little wrong when he talks about A&E’s decision to fire Phil Robertson violating the First Amendment. Only government can violate the First Amendment. Having said that, Simon is right about everything else, insofar as it boils down to this: What we are seeing is the ascendency

Stella Paul notes something I haven’t seen discussed elsewhere when it comes to Obamacare: the devastating effect it will have on people who travel or divide their time between two locations. The new policies are narrowly locked into local care providers. But people aren’t always in the same locality. Both

My husband was working on a Word document that needed to have paragraphs and subparagraphs numbered. As I’m sure you know, if you start inserting paragraph numbers without creating distinct styles, Word takes on a life of its own, and starts generating multiple styles. Eventually, every paragraph in my husband’s

There’s so much good stuff out there on Mondays. All the pent-up writer’s instinct and energy from the weekend seems to pour over into this day. Here’s some of that good stuff: Camille Paglia points out the obvious: it’s false that a woman without a man is like a fish

A rising San Francisco tech yuppie said what all the hard-working young San Franciscans think about the homeless and derelicts who swarm San Francisco’s streets but that none dare to say aloud. (I remember well the quiet grumbling about the homeless back in my young days as a downtown yuppie,

One of my children had technical difficulties with a project (it hadn’t occurred to her to download a trial video editor software that she needed for a project), so I’ve been up quite late putting that project to bed. That’s okay — it’s why I’m the grown-up and she’s still
