What is the matter with these Russian protesters? Thousands of them gather waving signs and I can't figure out a single thing that is written on the signs. Obviously, poor planning!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday, Little Mikey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's certainly been E & T lately! Do we know for certain that he isn't in jail? The ER? Some of those old men are mean.

Nope, not in jail. Possibly work release, but not in jail.

I am very surprised at Mikey's absence. I was certain the offnsive birthday card I sent him would provoke a response.

I got home from Toyland with no energy, but I've got work to accomplish, so I am off to work.

Now here is an ideal Christmas gift that is available exclusively to me on the Internet. 16 Premium cigars and they arrive in their own humidor with a lighter and cutter; all for only $19.95, plus Shipping and Handling (A $165.00 value).

Now, who in the Hell would want it?

I saw on Fox News that carhops, with waitresses on roller skates, are making a comeback. I don't know if this is a good idea. Shouldn't people be encouraged to get out of their cars and get more exercise?

Talking about food, I've bought a chicken for tomorrow's roast.

Mike said that he has a lot of transcribing that needs to be done, and when he comes here he gets sidetracked. He will return.

I think the roller skating carhops (male and female) is one of the only reason to go to Sonic Burger.

Is "transcribing" a euphemism for "shiney objects"?

And yet another e-mail regarding the class action settlement against Ticketmaster. The settlement won't even be finalized until May 2012. And when it is settled, all we are going to get is credit from Ticketmaster Terrific!

No, I believe that would be "buffing."

Russians are notorious for their handwriting. I, for one, can NEVER read anything they write!

But this IS a way for people to get more exercise! The carhops and wait staff, anyway.

I was very eager to try Sonic, because they offer several types of hot dogs. They have been open in Tacoma for almost two years now, and I still haven't stopped.

Hi, Tom.

BTW, are you eligible for some assistance at home now that you need a wheelchair?

Not unless I get approved for SS Disability.

I recall that BK had that as the TOD once--the things you always meant to do when you lived in XYZtown, but never did. something like that. I suspect we all have a few things in that category.

One of the things I used to love about the Internet was that you could use the Reverse Phone Directory to find out who was calling you, but not leaving a message. Now you havve to pay $1.99 per number.

It would start as soon as it is approved, and even would go back to the the protected date that I filed. But it could take anywhere from six months to two years.

My flight back east was uneventful and relaxing. I got sleep, watched some TV, and ate some snacks.
