Must buy more tissues.
⢠1 jigger bourbon ⢠1 tablespoon mild honey ⢠2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice ⢠1/4 cup boiling-hot water Last night I substituted Splenda for the honey, since that is what I had in the house. It doesnât cure the common cold, but it sure makes you care less about it. The cold has…
Being naive, I googled “oriental vs. Asian” to see where I had gone astray. I hate unintentionally offending anybody; I prefer any offensive remarks to be painstakingly planned. My first hit was: Model Minority: The Guide to Asian American Empowerment. Until this very moment, I had been quite unaware of either the “left-wing-politically-correct-thought-police-mind-control” or the…
OK, major admission time. I’m a dental phobic. As in the very thought of having to go to a dentist makes me get sick to my stomach, keeps me awake nights, and does fascinating things to my lower GI tract. It feels stupid to admit it, because I *know* there is absolutely no rational reason…
I was asked about Earthwatch yesterday. I first mentioned it in my diary entry of March 13th, and I’ve been playing with the idea off and on ever since. They have quite a few one week expeditions to different areas of the world that let you work with scientists who are conducting studies on biology…
Of interest to absolutely no one but myself and a few additional misfits around the globe: The release date for the Thunderbirds live action movie has been announced. It’ll be out July, 2004. A trailer has also been released at Working Title Films. It’s going to be awful, but some secret vices you just can’t…
Palimpsest’s Rules for Your Daily Survival 1. The Two Flush Rule: When in a public bathroom, and the first flush turns out to be incomplete, flush again. Your adoring public does not adore all you produce. (This is a good idea in your private bathroom as well, but since that doesn’t offend me, I’ll leave…

Hope Santa brings you a new box of tissues, and I hope they are super soft 🙂
Got a challenge for you since you are in bed staring at the ceiling thinking about your next composition.
The challenge is….

Funny request! I apologize, but I make it a habit not to respond to unauthorized comments. To be honest, I didn’t even know that this feature was turned on. This is not necessarily any reflection on "elf", but I’ve learned to be gun-shy about those who don’t identify themselves. This isn’t meant in a rude way, but I’ll be turning off the unauthenticated feature after posting this comment.
