I'm not political and I don't necessarily focus on current events.

Better Left UnsaidTherein lies the rub, there are a great many things that are better left unsaid. It's like the person who prefaces his statement with "not that it matters but..."So then he's telling me that it does matter since he's now bringing it to my attention, right?Or the person that says "the pronunciation isn't important but I say...", which means the pronunciation does matter since

Found this caddy which is advertised for using when charging a cell phone at Bed, Bath & Beyond. However as pictured, it conveniently accommodates an iPod, MP3 player, etc.How many time have you laid your item on the floor during charging because an open wall outlet near a table was unavailable? It's perfect for packing while traveling.

Is one of the most popular iconic images in Latino establishments and homes, which I find interesting because the Bible says we should not make icons of religious symbols.Catholics have La Virgen displayed on tapestries, tiles, candles, wood plaques, outdoor murals, water fountains, coffee mugs, bath towels, t-shirts and the list goes on.Who would believe La Virgen would become mass merchandised?

We all need a space that provides some quiet time in a nice surrounding. I found mine in the downtown area of my community. It could use shade but the openness is equally inviting.

It's here......vacation's finally arrived and I am ready. It's hard working year round while co-workers take time off, return and I'm still there. The flip side is that it's great to be away from the office for a chunk of time. There's nothing like completely clearing my head to help me gain perspective, etc.Of course, this vacation is much different because I do not have my boy Buddah with me.

Twittering Gone WildIt seems that all I do these days is Twitter because it's so darned convenient, fun and easy. What does it take to send a brief tweet covering what I'm into or where I'm at/going? Really, not much. I just plug my 140 characters text in my cell phone and press send. Photos can be sent via Twitpic for all to view. If you have a Twitter account please let me know your name so I

Today feels like THE hottest day this spring and the gauge shows 98 degrees. I could do with a breeze every so often but it's not to be. I feel unsettled and adrift because my little Buddah isn't here. I miss him terribly and he would have loved today. It's a challenge to feel good about the heat because I feel so empty.I found the proper cable to connect my iPod to the car's auxiliary connector.

Saw this pick up tooling along Rosemead Bl. in Pasadena, CA and had to snap a photo. My passenger couldn't stop laughing as I followed this truck for 3 miles without catching a red light.Finally the old guy turned into a strip mall, with me merrily following from one end to the next, until he stopped at Yoshinoya. My warped sense of humor wouldn't let this pass undocumented!

Of course, the sales run for four days only, so I need to get to Circuit City and Best Buy tomorrow or Tuesday. I spent today indoors skunking about and watching DVR'd programming. It was sunny and fairly nice but I just didn't feel like being out and about. We did that yesterday and

Christmas Music......began playing on local Southern California station KOST 103.5 FM on Friday. I'm sorry to say they're starting earlier each year. It used to be they'd wait until Black Friday to start with the 24/7 Christmas music.I love Christmas music but prefer to listen after the Thanksgiving holiday. I know retailers are super excited about having an extra week of shopping, but if they

The Thursday ThirteenThirteen things I've witnessed this week~ At a potluck a lady walks in with a shabby grocery store-type pie and leaves with a shopping bag filled with left overs.~ One gal leaves for lunch looking pretty average and returns with her nose bright red and teary eyes from a nose piercing.~ A motorist signals a right turn and turns left from the center lane - not the designated

I've been very bad.......because I've allowed this blog to languish and there really is no excuse. It's been pure laziness.I visited a new Best Buy location in Sherman Oaks, CA this afternoon and I have to say, I had a very pleasant experience. Unusual, since it's a Best Buy.

Every day, a male co-worker walks up very close to a lady at the coffeemachine, inhales a big breath of air, and tells her that her hair smellsnice. After a week of this, she can't stand it anymore, takes hercomplaint to a supervisor in the personnel department and asks to file asexual harassment grievance against him. The Human Resources supervisoris puzzled and asks: "What's sexually

How to explain my absenceQuite simply, I can't.I haven't felt like blogging lately which makes me both happy and very sad. Happy because it frees me to do other things.Sad because I do enjoy and miss it. Maybe it's a love / hate situation?Either way, I am trying to remedy it. Part of the challenge remains in the limitations of moblogging. Yes I know, all could be easily solved if I bought an
