I am trying to write only "twooshes" today and to collect
them into one blog entry at the end of the day. Should make for a good challenge.
Woke up to shocking headline news:
Julia Childs was a spy. Heavens-- that's common news. I heard that years ago. Why such a
big deal now?
Grey haired old man on The Today Show. Shocker--it's Mark Spitz. I
remember seeing him in person after he won the 7 gold medals. I'm old.
Must take the puppy to the vet this morning. It's time for a snip
job on those little balls. Maybe he'll finally stop humping everything.

has become one of my new favorite blogs. I'm a former cake decorator and some of these
look like my cakes
Puppy was dropped off for trip to the vets. Now I'm going to go to
Kaiser for a blood pressure check. Doctor started me on meds a week ago.
Meds must be working. My BP at the doctor's was 136/90 a week ago;
today, after a week on meds it was 129/70. Doctor is going to be happy.
What's that weird headgear the fencers
wear? It looks like dressing up for a walk around the Space Station. Like the flashing
lights, tho.
Is there an Olympic sleeping event? I'm
in training. Took a 1-1/2 hr nap this morning, after taking pup to Vet. I missed the real
Olympics
If you're a fan of song parodies (I
am--I write them) you'll love this web site: http://www.amiright.com/parody/misc/.
Some funny stuff there.
Walt is buying smoke alarms. We can't get approval for new a/c
system til we have smoke alarms in every bedroom. 1 on each floor isn't enuf.
Michele's ques of
the day: "Have you ever been invited backstage?" Seemed a silly question to me.
I sometimes feel like we LIVE backstage!
MSNBC reporter, who claims never to have tasted Peking Duck, says
you can get a whole duck in Beijing for $2. Guess they have two buck duck!
My advice: If you're going to walk on a
treadmill, don't put on sweatpants when it's 100 degrees outside and walk at 3 p.m. I'm
just saying.
@OzaMeilleur -- I am going through a blueberry phase too. A great
way to fill your body with antioxidants! Too bad I don't have a balcony.
(this is in response to this tweet from someone else: "Going out on the balcony, with a pint of blueberries, to thumb
through books I borrowed from the library. Must take in more sun. Loving it!")
My kids used to talk about "facial discracial" all the
time. Never knew til today that it came from vollyball terminology. Live and learn.
The Democratic convention takes place the week before my daughter's
wedding. I've asked her nicely to reschedule. She says no. Selfish kid!
John McCain: "In the 21st Century nations don't invade other
nations." Uh..? Remember that little business in Iraq? Was in all the papers
My afternoon of peace is over. Time to pick up the neutered puppy
and bring him back home again. Then off to a meeting with @kariapeterson
(when you use the @ sign in front of someone's name, then they can find out that
you've written something about them)
Good meeting. I actually learned a lot about things I've been using
and doing for many years. Too bad I didn't have this meeting 5 yrs ago.
Finished leftovers for dinner--"something with rice in
it" for him, leftover chili for me. That means I'll have to cook something tomorrow.
I'm seeing more and more of the manga avitars. Pretty soon we won't
have anybody using his/her own face any more. I do like the one I made
OK-- I'm calling it a night; going to watch Olympics. I've done my
entire day in twooshes, 140 characters exactly. Pressure's off tomorrow
