You all know I watched & loved every darn minute of the Oscar telecast while enjoying beef filet and lobster compliments of Da Hunk. Now I applaud the visable trend of less silicon endowed cleavage, but I have to say to a couple of ladies... Can you say Wonderbra?

Got mail from a long time special friend this week & it was great to hear from him! It had been awhile since I had spent any time at his site & before I knew it, I had spent hours entrenched in his funny cartoons, exquisite photography, acerbic witty writing, & feline frolics, etc, etc. For a good time, do go pay a visit to my favorite handsome viking... Chet and revel in his cyber offerings Look Out Now! Oh & while you're there don't miss playing his latest arcade game... Help Chicken Little Save the Earth! I, of course being a blonde girly girl, cannot manage to shoot even one darn alien successfully and the earth is doomed because of my poor hand eye coordination, or maybe it's just this darn paper bag on my head!

I continue on my mental health break from all that is html. However, you all know by now I'm an avid Olympics fan & the games are about to begin tomorrow. So I caved in to a little coding to give you the all important links to everything Olympic. See you after the games.

OK...Ok... settle down kiddies! I know I've become a terrible slacker about updating. You all keep returning to see what's new (Yep I do remain upright long enough to read those daily web stats :), but I've been adrift in a non-creative slump & at the same time I've been totally swamped with real world work & drama. I've been single handedly (all words, code, graphics & content, ad naseum done by this momma's hands) building this site for your enjoyment for almost six full years now & frankly my paperbag is a tad soggy & I feel like I've fallen and can't get up! So do bear with me as this funk is sure to pass & the laughter will soon resume.

With that said, I've resorted to (my old stand by) penile humor for your amusement...

Ever wonder how corporations come up with their mission statements?
Here's the scoop...

In the beginning there was the Plan.
And then came the Assumptions.
And the Assumptions were without form.
And the Plan was without substance.
And darkness was upon the face of the Workers.
And they spoke among themselves, saying, "It is a crock of s--- and it stinks."
And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said, "It is a pail of dung, and we can't live with the smell."
And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying, "It is a container of excrement and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it."
And the Managers went unto their Directors, saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength."
And the Directors spoke among themselves, saying to one another, "It contains that which aids plant growth and it is very strong."
And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents saying unto them, "It promotes growth and it is very powerful."
And the Vice Presidents went to the President saying unto him "This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor of the company with very powerful effects."
And the President looked upon the Plan and saw that it was good.
And the Plan became Policy.
And this, my friends, is how s--- happens.
