Short thought

Most overpaid – sports figures and CEOs.  Where’s the justice in that??

New Computer Desk

Now that I have this great new scanner, I need more space for all my pc stuff.  So, we’ve been shopping for a new computer desk. 

We only have 48 inches of space where the desk will go in our living room, so it’s a challenge.  We did find a nice one with a hutch (lots of storage space) and I think we’re going to order it next week. 

It looks great and seems to be functional.  Sometimes they can fool you with that “functional” word.

Tip of the day – girls only

When someone tells you you have a run in your panty hose, and you already know it, you should say, “I DO? (with great concern in your voice)” and immediately look down and inspect the wrong leg (the one without the run).

Fools them every time.

Radish, anyone?

Here it is - a kind of grey Sunday morning, and Don is off playing tennis.  So, true to form, I found myself in the kitchen.

I think this recipe is really good, and I don’t usually like radishes.  After the salad marinates a while, the radishes become kind of white, and the liquid becomes kind of pink.  Very pretty.

Pickled Radishes

2 cups (8 oz) sliced radishes (about one of those small bags)
1 small onion, cut into thin wedges and separated
1/2 cup white vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar)
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
cut radishes with slicing blade or food processor. Combine with onion. In separate bowl mix vinegar, sugar and salt until sugar is dissolved. Pour over radish mixture. cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving.

Beer - the new health food

And I Quote:

According to the Great Lakes Brewing News, beer is good for your health.

Researchers in the Netherlands report that middle-aged men who drink three or four glasses of beer with dinner each day have lowered the risk of inflammation of arteries, which can lead to heart disease.

Meanwhile, German scientists claim that beer containing higher levels of xanthohumol, a potent antioxidant, can help fight against cancer.

Anyone want to claim to be a middle-aged man? 

Tex and John

I ran across this picture of Tex Ritter (John’s dad), and thought father and son look a lot alike.  Tex was my favorite cowboy.  And John has been very funny and entertaining for a long time.

I understand there’s another of the Ritter men who would like to be an actor.
Comments anyone?

The Eagles Again

I moved away from the Philadelphia area at 18, came back a few years ago, and married into a family of serious Eagle fans.  I have tried hard to be an Eagles fan for them. Those Eagles surely do make it difficult, but I’m still trying.

Go Eagles!!
Yea team

Car Shopping on a Rainy Saturday

We’ve been doing some rather serious car shopping for the past couple of weeks, and I think today we may have made a decision about which car to buy. 

There are so many types, sizes, styles, extras and prices out there, that it’s hard to decide.  And so many different types of sales pitches.

We spoke to “Roman”, the car salesman today, and he gave us the best set of facts we’ve heard yet.  We might just jump in and buy a car from him.

Tune in later for the results of our rainy Saturday
