I am slowly learning the finer points of photo resizing. Generally, I do not do it if I have to change the proportions of the photo as it does distort somewhat but I wanted to replace the header on my blog with my own photo. Amazing! A few clicks of the mouse! There… Continue reading Personalizing My Blog

Is anyone else out there seriously scared by this headline? First and foremost, my prayers go to Justice Ginsburg and her family for a speedy and quick recovery.

Of course, there was the highlight of Vice President Biden swearing in Eric Holder as AG but that may be the highlight for a few days. While it did not totally look like Tom Daschle would not… Continue reading The Dominos Fall
Yesterday, as I was running to the 2 o’clock hour of CNN’s Newsroom, I was thrown with a report that the St Petersburg Times has a site that is keeping track of 26 pages of Obama campaign promises. The more disturbing news, although I do not know why it is disturbing as it is politics… Continue reading Reform?
