Paul and Gary both noticed today that Blogger.com ads — aside: blogger.com was bought by Google — are frequently similar to the content of the blog on which the ad appears. Interesting observation. I guess I’ve been suffering from “banner blindness,” as I’d just plain never noticed. Gary’s blog, which mentions a sprinkler at Stonehenge, …

Tonight was a YAP Improv night with Paula Poundstone. Before I share the inevitable Julie & Liz photo, let me just say that the $20 you spend on a ticket to see Paula here at the Addison Improv is worth every penny. She is a tireless performer and has a real way with a live …

I got an e-mail from her today saying she has mixed feelings about her actual performance, and is hoping for the best / preparing for the worst. To celebrate the fact that it’s over, …

I have finally bought tickets and requested time off (er, maybe that was the wrong order? haha) to go to Hawaii to visit my FAVORITE aunt & uncle, Fred & Dalis. Um, not respectively. 😉 Anyway … hooray! {happy dance} Travel dates are Sept. 22-28 (+ wee small hours Sept. 29 for return flight). Just …
