Excitement over new book: “Split Second”

You know you must be reading a good book when, at the end of Chapter three, you almost shout out “Omg,” (actually I didn’t shout, and it wasn’t omg, but it was quite a loud “Wow!, Wow!”). Cannot remember why I chose this book as one to download as a Kindle sample (several weeks ago), […]

Twin Cities Model Railroad Museum Closing?

TC MRR Museum closing article (open in new window) This is really unfortunate – I’ve been to this museum numerous times over the years, and actually took Lailah there last Christmas. I’m hoping they can find a way to stay there or find another place – but it would be a lot of work to […]

Someone’s stupid thoughts/opinion on Climate Change

Just read this FB comment by some person regarding climate change: “How can you be so sure about climate change? This earth has existed for a very long time, it has been established that there have been many weather patterns, all we are experiencing is just another variation, we’ve had ice ages for example and […]

Stupid Gun Control Cartoon (Bob Babas)

Stupid Gun Control Cartoon (opens in a new window) Bob Babas I think you know I have the utmost regard and respect for you. In my opinion, this strip represents an apples to oranges comparison. You and many others are missing the point when this example is used: not many mass murderers bring a bat […]

Fox News Bill O’Reilly and Gun Control

Fox News Bill O’Reilly & Gun Control (opens in a new window) This type of argument by Bill O’Reilly really misses the friggin point: yes, there will always be “maniacs” (not my word choice) out there and while it may be nearly impossible to prevent people like this from committing murder, we can prevent MASS […]

Lunch with BFF Rick, and Chocolates

Was at MOA today with BFF Rick. Last time we were there I bought two pounds of assorted Lindor chocolate truffles. Told him today it was his responsibility to prevent me from doing that ever again. Not sure if he was successful or if he failed: this time I only got myself a one pound […]

Lailah News – going to the Apple Orchard

So. Lots and lots of my FB friends (all three of you) have been recently asking me: “Hey, what’s up with Lailah these days?”, “What’s with the no recent stories about Lailah?”, and my personal favorite, “Got any new excruciatingly long kitchen table painting videos of our favorite little girl?”, as well as, “Man, we […]
