Some fun bits, stolen from others...

Because I am lazy, I have very little in the way of commentary or insight this week. I can say that Ford has decided to resume advertising in gay publications, in defiance of the protests from the religious wrong. (There's nothing "right" about 'em.) I kid myself that my letter of complaint may have been a flake of snow in the avalanche that changed their minds. I mean, how would they possibly stay in business without my purchase of a $20,000 car every six or seven years?

I'm not enjoying the holidays quite as much as I normally do. Our anniversary was November 21, followed two days later by Lisa's birthday, then Thanksgiving, then my birthday a few days ago, and of course Christmas and New Year's. So, normally, for about 40 days or so I'm happy as a clam. This year, I'm happy, but the clam thing? Nope. Dunno why, hoping it passes. (We are on the strict phase of the damn South Beach Diet again, trying to lose a bit of excess poundage before the holiday week...that might have something to do with it.)

My sister is blogging. Finally.

And he posted a couple of swell links today: one that lets you make a great "life poster" and another that lets you avoid the endless automated-answerer phone tree at pretty much every major corporation in America.
