According to the lead in this morning's Hartford Courant, "power" and "frustration" were the two most common words in used by CT Governor Dannel Malloy at a presser last night about Tropical Storm Irene.

To be technically correct, the two most common utterances from his mouth were "um" and "ah." The guy is not a gifted extemporaneous speaker. How did he become governor again?

Oh yeah, lesser of two evils.

If this photo doesn't make me lose weight...

...nothing will.

Seriously????

Got pot? 

Starbucks is my office

Indeed, it is Starbucks where I do my best work. Without the distractions of home and without the resources of a real office, I am fueled by their coffee and free Internet.

The goal this week is to apply for fifty jobs (ten per day and I'm already two days behind), write and produce a radio show, revise a proposal package to sell the radio show, look into promotional venues for my business and take a HIT exam for which I haven't studied.

Nothing much. Hand me another iced coffee, would you please?

Raining, pouring, Hurricane Irene boring...

Lots of leaf litter, lots of wind and rain, but no power loss and no flooding. I slept through it - all of it. All day. All night. Guilt is setting in...
