Something I just have to get off my chest.   Tuesday, October 28, 2003   I didn't write this but it's still really cool... Cubicle, Office, Paper stack Computer, Staplers, Thumbtack My desk, My work, My pen Is it time for work again? Why has God Forsaken me? I sit and I stare I twisty my hair I surf and I shop I stare at the clock Why has God Forsaken me? Monitor, water, paper clip. In box, out box, pursing my lip keyboard, mouse, hardest of drives, Cofee mug, birthday cake, plastic knives Why has God Forsaken me? I sit and I dream Long run out of steam I cry and I plead My soul starts to bleed Why has God forsaken me? Diploma on wall Daydreaming of mall Memo in hand Rolled up rubber band Why has God Forsaken me? I work for old Sam My pay is a sham I want a way out I try not to pout Why has God Forsaken me? 7:56 AM Monday, October 27, 2003   Quote of the Day "Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, 'We don't know how lucky we are.' And the Cuban stopped and said, 'How lucky you are! I had someplace to escape to.' In that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth." --Ronald Reagan From the Federalist 11:09 AM   Back on the Throne My reign as queen of topic-oriented blogging was threatened last week, but fortunately I was able to *smack down* the insurgent and reclaim my throne. Now the realm of comedic observational blogging has been reclaimed by its rightful leader and all is now at peace in the world. Or the world of blogging. Or a very small corner of the world of blogging. Whatever. It is not my place to take note of such matters in this forum. Stay tuned for the next link to an article and attending criticism of the article and/or its subjects. Also on the horizon is a HUGE update to the wine blog. I'm gathering my strength for that one. 9:04 AM
