Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
shin splints
Racewalking coach Jack Bray [link] always said that shin splits were from reaching too much, that speed in walking should come from a faster turn-over, not from reaching/stretching your forward leg to gain a little ground. Try it, see if it works for you.
There's an art reception just down the hall. I have a glass of champagne, sushi, cheese, homemade cookies, and someone's playing a really nice jazz bass set in the lobby. I'm not getting much work done, though.
Radio talk show guy, on the Obama speech to schoolkids:
And Chris Stigall, a Kansas City talk show host, said, “I wouldn’t let my next-door neighbor talk to my kid alone; I’m sure as hell not letting Barack Obama talk to him alone.”
Huh? [link]
That guy has gotten Obama confused with Santa -- he can't actually make it to every kid's house in one day.
I'm very disappointed to listen to the local news here. Various Chicagoland school districts are letting the kids skip school that day if the parents want them to, and the superintendents are leaving it up to the principals to decide if they're going to show the speech at all.
Sigh.
ImycatN, she cracked me up tonight. I was watching Part 2 of The Beatles Anthology that I had dvr'd this afternoon, and was singing along with "All You Need Is Love" when she decided she needed to jump onto my chest and get some petting. So, she's doing her usual routine after walking on top of me, which is stand with her back paws on my stomach and her front paws on one of my shoulders and meowing full blast. But, her meows are coordinated with the music I'm singing!
"All you need is love..."
"Meow!!"
"All you need is love..."
"Meow!!"
"All you need is love, love"
"Meow!"
"Love is all you need"
I’m sure as hell not letting Barack Obama talk to him alone.
This must be some strange new usage of the word "alone" that I was previously unaware of.

Officials say that LA fire was arson:
I may have to repress that for a little while. It makes me too angry.

Health care discussion on my Facebook page is a serious case of worlds colliding and I'm going into tech and won't be able to mediate. Oy.
