By the power vested in me, by the great unincorporated town of Brandon (the largest unincorporated town in the country, by the way) I hereby order the Brandon Kohl’s closed, effective immediately.

Tsunami Warning For Alaska
Thanks Darrell, as always, good to hear from you! Sorry to hear about your weather. (5 degrees with a -35 degree wind chill. But mostly sunny!)
Daily chocolate cuts heart attack risk
It’s getting to the point that the same good news about certain foods, and the same bad news about others just keeps getting recycled. I think we get the picture now… chocolate and occassional glass of redwine is good for you and Steak n Shake burger, large fries and a strawberry shake is bad.
Nothing better to do
From where I sit at work, I have two windows facing west, and two big glass doors that face south. It’s a nice corner view of the parking lots actually. I can watch the squirrels, an occassional fox and several hawks. Or the smokers.
I also see the front patio area where anyone who comes to the building who wants to smoke must gather.
If the smokers don’t “gather”, they pace, and walk the parking lot. And since I have two sides out of which to watch them, I get a good idea of how much time these folks spend outside smoking.
One guy, as of 10:30 this morning has taken FOUR smoke breaks. And he tends to just hover around my doors and windows. How does this guy get anything done all day? I don’t know if he works in my building or one of the adjacent offices, but he’s got a pretty sweet situation if he can spend that much time during the day taking leisurely walks.
Closet out of control? Six tips to kill the clutter
I mean, really. How many pairs of khaki shorts, skirts or skorts should one person be allowed to have?
Our closet? No, no shoe problem in our closet. We might have a sandal problem, but not shoes.
Hump Day
It’s a gorgeous morning in Central Florida today. Slept with the windows open again – just the perfect combination of temperature and sounds. Until about 5:50 this morning when Lily got up and joined us.
And she wasn’t tired – no way she was going back to sleep. And I’ll let you in on a little secret about Lily: She is like RainMan when it comes to her blankets. They have to be perfect. No one knows what she wants, but they never touch her the way she wants them to, or they are too short, or too bunchy. It’s always a fight when she gets in our bed because she can never get the covers right. So I fought with her for about 30 minutes and kicked her out of the room to go play in the living room while I tried to sleep for a while.
She and Diane are off to music class and the library this morning. I have lunch here in town with a friend (I’m hoping for BBQ!!!).
