Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Run, Mr. Cold Miser, run!

The administration seems to be waving shiny things around again....

Samantha von Sperling, a New York-based image consultant whose customers include politicians, was skeptical. She admires Rice, but finds this all to be a bit "Oprah-esque."

"It just strikes me as, what's the point?" she said. "Why do I need to see her in Spandex? It has nothing to do with the quality of her mind. And if she were a man, they wouldn't have asked her to do the story."

....

For a Bush administration that tries so hard to stay on message, this one is clear: If Rice makes time for exercise as one of the busiest people in the world, so can most anyone.

Huh, and I would have thought the message was "LOOK! A BABY WOLF!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Neither can we, at least in the northeast. April = cruelest month.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

If Rice makes time for exercise as one of the busiest people in the world, so can most anyone.

Oh, sure, the fact that she manages to fit it in around her two jobs, hour-each-way commute on the city bus, picking the kids up at daycare, making Kraft Dinner, helping with homework, doing the laundry, and getting set to head back out to the bus stop by 7 the next morning after doing all of the above in reverse...amazing she still makes it to the gym she can't afford anyway, not without doing without field-trip fees, birthday presents, heat, etc...

Oh, wait, that's not her. Nevermind.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove

As aurelia said, I live and work about 10 minutes south of the Wisconsin border.

Whew, Kalshane. At least your nightmare CIO is not my former nightmare. I dreamt last night that it was him, and I felt so guilty for having exported my problems to another Buffista. (Like I had anything to do with his ouster here.) Here's hoping your CIO keeps up the short-timer MO.

It's eerie how alike it was. Thanks for setting my mind at ease, K. ::shivers::

ION, it's gotten colder here, but no flakage. Well, okay, but I mean weather-wise.

Off to smoke a cig and tell my workmate about the duplicate CIOs.

I did meant to clarify our definition of "reasonable." It's not even freezing here today! Balmy.

Oh, if anything, it's the heat of the summers that will deter me more than the winters.

Tag away Brenda!
