Congrats to the 2012 American League Central Division Champions, the Detroit Tigers!  I’ll be the first to admit that my high hopes for this season took a nose dive with every missed opportunity, but The Mister remained convinced that we were going to do this.  He’s probably the only Tigers fan that stayed that strong.

I know voting is important and all, but I just got the ballot for the Michigan bar’s elections and I don’t know anyone on there.  So I’ll vote, but it will be purely on name cleverness.  I hope the right candidates’ parents got it right many decades ago.  Sadly, I think this is how people [...]

The Pure Joy of Pure Joy

March 19, 2012

On Friday, Mr. CVD came down to meet me for lunch.  It was a nice day out and as we drove from my office toward downtown, I made mention that I saw that they were putting the tigers back on the Detroit Tigers scoreboard.  Last fall they finally decided to refurbish the decade old scoreboard [...]

 Even though I don’t use my Yahoo mail anymore, I still have Yahoo as my default homepage. I guess old habits die hard.  In any event, I open my browser this morning and am greeted with this headline: “Mom Missing After People’s Court Dispute.”  I looked at the story and the People’s Court dispute was [...]

I love it when I get in and turn Pandora on and something amazing starts flowing out of my speakers.  This morning it was “Respect” by Aretha.  There’s a dance party in my office. The surge of pole dancing places in my local area has me concerned.  I understand that the people who frequent these [...]

Random Thoughts: Monday is the New Tuesday Edition

August 29, 2011

I am rather sleepy this morning and can’t seem to bring it together enough to do a whole thoughtful post. So you’re just going to get some random stuff that is on my mind. How are there all of these abandoned and ripped up tires on the expressway?  I get that they came off of [...]

The Kind of Crazy I Want to Be

August 1, 2011

It’s a trap! I’ve been fond of using Admiral Ackbar’s famous line lately.  I didn’t know why until today. Last week I was freaking beat in every way possible:  emotionally, physically, intellectually.  As much as I tried to pull it together, I constantly found myself floundering.  In the middle of the week, I somehow turned [...]

The big news around these parts yesterday (other than the oppressive heat) was that Borders, the Michigan-based book retailer, would be closing its doors.  This means that 11,000 people (including about 1,000 in Michigan alone) will be losing their jobs.  It’s sad for many reasons, but it’s particularly sad for those of us who grew [...]

Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday and Friday.  Friday was the big embryo transfer and I was distracted.  Yesterday I was sleeping most of the day after we got home around 3 after the U2 concert.  I’m not equipped for late nights like that anymore. The embryo transfer went really well.  Thank you for [...]

What is the problem with napkin distribution in this country?  Sometimes you go to a drive thru and they hand you a whole package of napkins.  And those napkins are often soiled by the food because of the way they’re placed in the bag.  Other times (namely, this morning) you get zero napkins.  Why is [...]
