    6 Simple Reasons

    6 Simple Reasons why it’s a good idea to register at Air America Radio’s website: John Ashcroft will know where to find you. All our annoying pop-up ads are invisible. Because they shut down the Dennis Kucinich dating chat room. Our spam is vegetarian. You like making up passwords. You were banned from the Fox News website for having your own opinion. Hee! Repeat chuckle as required. It appears they’ve taken many suggestions to heart from the Majority Report comments thread (the longest comments in Moveable Type blog history? Mmmayyybe). So “Heck, Yeah!” I’m registering.

    Winter Retreat

    The day we walked up the road in Lamb’s Canyon, the sun was warm and bright, and everything looked as if it had been done over by Mother Nature’s spring cleaning — all the branches were bare on the aspen and scrub oak. The snow was slowly drawing back the covers it had thrown over the rocks and the ridgelines from their winter sleep. It’s not spring up there just yet, but it’s just around the next turn in the road. And in the meantime, the snow is melting into pure, cold water. From here, it flows into Parley’s Canyon,…

    Image Makeovers

    Yuck, Yuck, Yuck

    Oooooog. I don’t feel so good. I think I’ve got the beginnings of a sinus infection. I’ve been off all week and could have been decently and appropriately sick, but nooo. I’m getting sick at the beginning of the weekend, but not be sick enough to stay home from work next week. And tomorrow, we’re supposed to meet David’s parents downtown and go to the Art Institute. Sunday we’re supposed to get together with Steve and go on an early-spring photo safari to the Botanic Gardens again. And I don’t want to stay home anymore. Bleah.
