It sometimes seemed it would never happen, but it has. The 2012 presidential election is over. The robocalls have stopped. The ads are gone.

I stood on line yesterday, encouraged by the fact that there were a good number of folks out waiting to vote on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Florida, instead of watching football (although I must admit I was keeping up with the games on … Continue reading
Hi there, WordPress pals! I’m back from my travels, and trying to regain some balance after several days of not enough sleep, too much food, and general chaos. I am also finding that my WP stuff is acting up – my Reader is not showing me anything, so when I sat down to catch up … Continue reading

UPDATE: Well, it wasn’t as long a night as I expected. The results were not as close as had been predicted in polling, and the whole thing was over pretty quickly. A mighty disappointing night, which was not made any better by the fact that the Miami Heat lost to the Boston Celtics – … Continue reading
It’s been a long, hectic week for yours truly. I wish I had been able to get in here and do some blogging, but real life has been my priority – work, several events at my kid’s school as she wraps up her academic year, family gatherings, and so on. I’ve missed out on the … Continue reading
