Y’all know I love musical lists. So when Rolling Stone made a list of the “The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time” I was all giddy with excitement.
But, I gotta say, the list puzzles me. I know all lists are subjective and subject to argument. But some things about this one just makes me wonder. [...]

VOTE!!!

I’ve always been a faithful voter. After all, it took not one but two amendments to the Constitution to give me that right. I’ve always taken that right very seriously.
But never in my lifetime has a vote been this important.
If you are reading this and you haven’t voted yet, STOP. Put down the laptop and [...]

Dear Joe,
I have been a steadfast fan of yours for over 20 years, and I think you are a thoughtful, intelligent man. So as an admirer and lifelong Pistons fan, I make this plea to you from the bottom of my heart:
The city of Detroit has enough thugs. Please don’t add another.
Sincerely,
Elleen
P.S. – if you [...]

OMG, I meant to post this WEEKS ago. And for some reason I’m unusually weepy today (and I’m not a crier!) so I need to cheer myself up. And this is just the thing to do it!
So I talked about my ‘list’ already. You can read about it here.
Anyway, I have made a trade. Sting, who [...]

I literally just got back from my Colorado weekend a few hours ago. We were supposed to come back yesterday, but more on that later. It feels like it’s been an eternity since I blogged, so here is a wrap:
Colorado, Part I. OMG, my 48-hour Beaver Creek, Colo. vacay was AWESOME! I packed [...]

I was going to blog about the Project Runway finale and the presidential debate, but you know what? I’m worn out and I don’t feel like it. I’ll just say this – the person I wanted to win PR did not, and the person I wanted to win the debate did (IMO). And in both [...]

I am sitting in the library doing research. The stuff I’m looking for can’t be found on electronic databases, so there I sit amid a huge stack of papers, books, and manual indexes, in search of the information I seek.
I look to my left, and am surprised to find sitting right next to me none [...]
Reunion

So this past weekend was my law school reunion. The thought of being 10 years out of law school was a bit depressing. But then my brother told me he’s going to his 30-year high school reunion next month and that cheered me up and made me feel young again.
Anyway, reunion was really, really fun [...]
Ok, I’m back!

Oh, my GOODNESS, y’all, work is kicking my ass this week! That is why I’ve been so remiss in my blogging. So, so sorry! Please know I would much rather be telling you my mindless thoughts on current affairs and the minor events of my life. Let’s get to my abbreviated, stream-of-consciousness catch-up post and [...]

Here’s a look inside my mind right now (scary place, I know) (UPDATED to include something I left out of the original post):
Don’t go, Amy! OMG, y’all, Amy Poehler is leaving Saturday Night Live!! Nooo!!! I mean, I’m happy she is having a baby and all, but there will be no reason to watch [...]
