Brief Update
The blog has been silent, but I have not. Actually, I have been busy hacking up a lung with a hard case of bronchitis. I think I am finally on the mend.
A few things I would have blogged about over the last week:
- The Pens are about the sweep the Philthadelphia Flyers - YEAH!
- The French should invade Myanmar to administrate relief aid - this junta is ridiculous and people are desperate need of help. Since Burma was formerly French occupied it makes since for the French to do it.
- Does the major earthquake in China raise new questions about the Beijing Olympics?
- Blackberry has announced what will be a sweet looking touch screen for all of you Crackberries out there.
- I dropped my Treo for what could be estimated as the one thousandth time this week and although the phone quality still stinks, the device still works.
- I still have the best dog in the world, who’s highlight was when Jill walked in the door this week to take him for a walk. He has been very accommodating to my extra sleeping and even a little concered at my coughing fits.
- I have caught up on the Masterpiece Theater Series Cranford (Elizabeth Gaskell) and I love it.
- My favorite Drudge headline of the week identified Hillary as a “Mountain Mamma”.
- Two of God’s many kindnesses include modern medicine and Grandma’s old trick of putting ice of inflamed bronchi.
- Lastly, this photo has new meaning for Chuck, Bethenny, William, & Elisabeth (at least for 6 months)
I did manage to read one entire article on the election this week and it was by Peggy Nonnan, who is perhaps, my favorite commentator. It is such a shame that her treasure trove of whit is tucked away in the Wall street Journal where she enjoys such a limited, but appreciative audience. Here is an excerpt:
He’s got this thing. And the Democratic Party, after this long and brutal slog, should be dancing in the streets. Party elders should be coming out on the balcony in full array, in full regalia, and telling the crowd, “Habemus nominatum”: “We have a nominee.” And the crowd below should be cheering, “Viva Obamus! Viva nominatum!”
