Crazy looks like me some days.
“If you’re crazy, there’s two things you can do to make yourself feel better: One is to get yourself cured. The other is to make everyone you have to deal with crazy.” — Alan Dean Foster
I was having a conversation with some lovely women this weekend about [...]
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
Posted by: J on: February 27, 2009
I’ve been using the college’s small fitness center to exercise. It’s really rather underwhelming, but has the advantage of being free. However, I’m starting to realize that I need access to a bit more than is offered.
Kewanee has a YMCA and I’m strongly considering becoming a member. Once upon a time I [...]
Be enthusiastic
Posted by: J on: February 23, 2009
“We act as though comfort and luxury were the chiff requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.” – Charles Kingsley
There is great truth in this statement. When I think about why I get up every day, it’s because I have a [...]
The fun never ends

I’m really not sure what to think about the latest political scandal in IL. Not surprised because Burris couldn’t seem to actually get elected to the Senate seat. However, I’m not entirely sure that there was actual wrong-doing that is sufficient to remove him from the seat now. Does seem like the [...]

President Barack Obama’s Inauguration Speech (Full Transcript) by Ron Del Rosario
Although I listened to as much of the speech as I could stand without gagging, I want to go back later and reread. I'm hoping that it won't sound as bad as it did the first time. I wasn't inspired as much as angered [...]
SAD is depressing
Posted by: J on: January 5, 2009
I’m self-diagnosing myself with Seasonal Affect Disorder. Or maybe it’s just holiday let-down. We’re entering that time of year when people tend to den, hiding out in their warm houses waiting for winter to pass and spring to appear.
When we lived in Alaska, I don’t remember this sort of post-holiday blahs. [...]
Taking stock
Posted by: J on: December 31, 2008
It’s interesting how much can change in a year. I don’t know why I’m often surprised because I tend to do things on whims…although I do that less and less the older I get.
At the beginning of 2008, DH and I were actually living in the same house. However the commute was [...]
Defy me!

News sources are claiming that Blagojevich is being “defiant” by refusing to resign as governor.
Personally, I think the guy is being an idiot. He’s a selfish, immature, lying, poor excuse for a governor and a human being. And his actions are continuing to hurt Illinois.
He’s losing money for the state…and Illinois is not [...]
Playing hooky
Posted by: J on: November 17, 2008
A friend at work asked me to go for coffee this afternoon. We ended up hanging out at the coffee shop for a couple of hours and then decided to go have pizza for dinner. Yes! I played hooky this afternoon and it felt great. It occurred to me that this [...]
