Our daughter was so addicted to the Blackberry that we had to send her in for two weeks of detext treatment.

I found the professor's explanation of the Mobius Strip to be rather one-sided.

Correction of a saying: "toe the line" was actually a fishing adage and should have been "tie the line" first used after throwing the anchor over the side without attaching it to the boat.

I think the run to indebtedness is beginning to make sense. National debt will be so high that savings bonds will bear high interest. We will buy the bonds so we can pay taxes on the interest earned to pay for the next fiasco.

"Shout" cleaning liquid has been renamed "Whisper" due to state noise ordinances.

Isn't it interesting that $75 billion is being targeted at preventing home foreclosures after trillions have been given or promised to the banking industry? I thought mortgages were the target from the outset.

The McCoy Family is aiming to have its picnic at Hatfield, MA, this August.

The peanut butter company that caused all the recalls has filed for bankruptcy. I wonder if that was moral or fiscal.

While vacationing in Bermuda, we went out to play some tennis. All the courts in our area were in use. We drove down the road and finally used the court of the last resort.
