This is the short and the long of it . . . William Shakespeare
On Nova’s Science night I found out that humans have about as many genes as nematodes and that corn has way more genes than we do. Corn. Why corn? We have to do a lot more than corn does on any given day. It’s hard to believe that we are who we are when we’re [...]
Tiger Woods sleeps around. While Tiger Woods was sucking up media bandwidth like a California wildfire, scientists from ten countries announced that they have cracked the entire genetic code of two of the most common cancers – skin and lung. Now, on a scale of one to ten, with 10 being a bit of information [...]
I had my back to the kitchen window, checking on my roasting chicken, when the doorbell rang. I thought it was Rhod and the kids and I called out Come In! I turned around to see two men I didn’t know on my doorstep. Not you two I said. Don’t even think about it. They [...]
This is really scary. Already on sale in the UK are cone shaped bras, throwbacks to the 1950s. Remember Jane Russell? Hers were built by Howard Hughes. I guess back then they needed an aircraft engineer to get those breasts to stand up. Of course I’ll try one. I tried dope back in the when. [...]
This is how I know it’s time for a quickie. I got home from Connecticut (where I spent the last half of two weeks sick with a leaf mold allergy) to a dead computer monitor, 13 Trojans poised to eat my machine, stopped up toilets and sinks so I needed two plumbers in two weeks, [...]

“Dear, there’s a dresser in the kitchen,” Jim said. Poor thing. He never knows what he’s going to run into when he comes home. I stopped moving Lola-the-Dummy around the house. She’s my mannequin and she’s so lifelike that she startled him a couple of times. “Yes, you-my-dear. I tried some serious multi-tasking today. I [...]
I hate spa*m. Akismet catches it all and very reliably but I have to go into my site several times a day to delete it all. I’m getting pages and pages on two topics – prescription drugs and poker. I don’t even know how to play poker. Just recently a new fool came on board [...]
From my sister: As I walked through the x-ray machine, security asked “Who belongs to this bag?” I should have kept my mouth shut.“Can you step to the security area , please? We need to pat you down.” I spread em and put out my arms while being fondled by a female goliath. She asked [...]
Sometimes things just don’t work out as planned. By the time Rhod got to my house with the boys after school, it was too late to dash home for his conference call. My neighbor had started up his jack hammer again, diligently cutting up his concrete walkway and the only place in my house where [...]
