Monday, January 3, 2011 at 03:41PM Holidays over
and gadgets were had;
some will be useful
but most are just fad.
A few are made well;
the rest are just bad,
with design, fit, and finish
that just make me sad.
Friday, December 31, 2010 at 07:05AM Some years have truly prospered,
some others really didn'ce.
As for the one that's ending
I have two words: good riddance.
holiday Thursday, December 30, 2010 at 07:57AM It's the end of the year
and if you've been missing
summing-up stories
and vague reminiscing
then now is the time
for which you've been waiting;
it will be the new year
'fore this sludge starts abating.
holiday Friday, December 24, 2010 at 10:02AM Stories at this time of year are at pains
to show, demonstrate, moralize, and explain
that the gifts and the presents that we all exchange
are really beside the point; not, in the main,
the season's main reason; another remains.
So we speak, though we act for material gains.
holiday Saturday, December 18, 2010 at 09:13AM Shopping excursions
mean miles of traveling,
moods getting edgy
and tempers unraveling,
chatting degrading
to addle-brained babbling,
driving in circles
while parking-place grabbling,
peeves escalating
to in-the-back stabbling.
Time to resolve
to do more taxi-cabbling.
