Is It 2010 Yet?

Yeesh. I’ve had better years, Pumpkins. In fact, I’ve had better decades. Come to think of it, the previous half century had a lot going for it compared to 2009. I suppose closing out the year with a bungled crotch…

Ban Underwear!

What would Mae West have said had she flown next to a man lighting his underwear? “Is that a bomb in your panties, or are you Jihad to see me?†What will it take to set travel free? We’ve…

My Very Best To You
(as always)

December 22, 2009Excuse me, dahrlings, but… Oh Just Shut Up I’m developing a PR phobia. My e-mail now sounds an alarm instead of a little ping when one of those demanding little parcels plunks its self-absorbed self into…

How Bad Is It?

Depends who you ask. I’m being fed all the lines: All hunky-dory over here! A tad challenging. Better than expected. Can’t complain. Totally stinky. And, of course, ‘come here often’? (Never mind.) You are a cagy lot, Pumpkins. Those…

Let's Talk About The B Word

Someone has to. It’s out there. Oodles upon oodles of palm greasing gifts and points and money and coupons and trips and gas and babies are dangled before you every day. Fat millions are spent on not only the goods,…
