Test 2

Mitt Romney learns the meaning of the word “upstaged”.

So, I’m a recovering political junkie. I used to be waaaay into politics. Anymore? Not so much.

But this image – which is ALL OVER the Interwebs today – really got me thinking; Last night was supposed to be Mitt Romney’s super-sweet-16-coming-out-party.  Now, all anyone is talking about today is Clint Eastwood yelling at a chair. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are nothing more than a footnote.

And comparing him to a screenshot from The Simpsons.

If you’re Mitt Romney (or anyone associated with his campaign), you’ve got to be at least kinda pissed, right?

Okay, that’s my quota on political writing for the year. See you next fall.

Woe, is me. 

I finished my bike ride this morning (in the dark, I might add) only to return home and discover that the coffee pot had turned on, but failed to produce any coffee. 

Oh no.

After fiddling with it for 10 minutes or so – during which time I unplugged the maker, plugged it back in and smacked it around for good measure – I gave up. At approximately 6:08 a.m. I pronounced our coffee maker dead. 

Rest in peace, coffee maker.

Now, it’s time to consider our esteemed coffee maker’s replacement, I’m thinking something like this:

How friggin' cool is that? VERY, I’d say.

Dinner last night = a mountain of nachos.

Between running the boy to-and-from soccer and making sure that the girl had eaten dinner and finished her homework, the wife and I resorted to making a favorite snack into a full-on dinner for two.

Velveeta “cheese”, extra-sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded mild sharp cheddar cheese, sauteed onions, garlic, green peppers, jalapeño peppers and diced chicken all on a bed of corn tortilla chips.  YUM.

I would call it Epic Mealtime. Alas, there was a lack of bacon. And swearing.

Curtin Road has been a disaster for some time now. Today, I see that they have paved and painted the road, and finished pouring a new sidewalk. Now it appears that the workers are in the process of removing the ugly fence that has corralled our visitors into the Shields Building for weeks.
