Super Super Bowl or just Super Bowl

Kathleen David | January 31, 2009

Tomorrow the Cardinals and the Steelers are going for all the marbles. The Steelers are favored by the bookies by 7 1/2 last time I looked at the Vegas odds. But a majority of the sports pundits can’t seem to call this one. They waffled between the two teams and go over, yet again, strength [...]

For those of you just joining our tale, Kelly Kulick [...]

Internet Excuses

Kathleen David | January 29, 2009

There are days that I just want to take the Internet and shake it firmly then rub its nose in its idiocy in hopes that it just might learn a lesson. But I know that we will have air born porca before that happens and a lot of people are going to have to do [...]

A Well Placed Muppet

Kathleen David | January 28, 2009

Last night on Scrubs the lead character J.D., who has a very healthy fantasy life, added some of the Sesame Street characters to his inner monologue. We had Oscar, Grover and Elmo. I was so hoping for Big Bird at some point but it really wouldn’t have fit. Towards the end, J.D. commented on how [...]

Brain Freeze

Kathleen David | January 24, 2009

It got up to 40 the other day. It felt positively balmy. Now we are dropping again so it is going to feel a little nippy for the next couple of days.
This is one of those days that I just can’t seem to get two thoughts to shake hands. Peter let me sleep in which [...]

Khids and Khanventions

Kathleen David | January 23, 2009

I started going to science fiction conventions in my early teens and over 30 years later I still enjoy going to a good convention. My position at a convention has changed over the years from paying fan, to paying con staff, to con staff, to guest and now professional guest and I have enjoyed each [...]

RTBTCKI Baby It’s Cold Outside edition

Kathleen David | January 22, 2009

We are back in the deep freeze again. There is a bit of wind that is just making this even colder. I will be bundling Caroline up again to get her to school safely.
We are still working on integrating the cats. It works for a while then someone’s fur gets pushed the wrong way and [...]

Question for Y’all

Kathleen David | January 21, 2009

The Inauguration was nice. Politics totally aside, it was a nice ceremony. The music was lovely. The President’s speech was nice and to the point. He had great skills of oratory and a lovely speaking voice. The crowds behaved themselves for the most part. My friends in DC who were on the Mall and in [...]
