Starbucks: Coffee Good, Music Bad

Crap!
Now that I just posted that rail on Starbucks music I have to eat a little crow. Just now, I actually got up, walked over to the barista and asked what song was playing. To my credit, it was more than partly out of a maddening frustration of having heard it before and almost [...]

Dear Starbucks,
I know you think your music is ultra cool. I know you even have your own station to promote this particular brand of hip tuneage. But to put it bluntly, it sucks. The music is random, annoying, and pretentious.

We’ve checked into the Red Rock Canyon campgrounds for the next three nights. We’re going to the Red Rock Rendezvous. It’s an all weekend rock climbing event. I [...]

I fell out of the RV yesterday. Fortunately, it was parked and not in motion in the time. I blame my slippery sandals and an awkward angle. No major damage for such a dramatic fall, just a stiff left ankle and a right sore knee. My sunglasses flew twenty feet, and I missed the side [...]

If thirty is the new twenty…Is twenty the new ten?

To all of my journal friends….
Please help.
Besides taking them with me or packing them away, what should I do with the fifteen pounds of graphic novels I’ve been carting around since college?
Does anyone want a really cool pair of Puma shoes size 8.5? I’m a size 9. They we’re a great deal I couldn’t [...]
