Washington Post's Neologisms
Posted Oct 13, 2006
I cannot take credit for these, but I am posting a few of my favorites:
1. Coffee(n.), the person upon whom one coughs.
2. Flabbergasted (adj.), appalled over how much weight you have gained.
3. Esplanade (v.), to attempt an explanation while drunk.
4. Flatulence (n.), emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller.
5. Frisbeetarianism (n), {back by popular demand}: The belief that, when you die, your Soul flies up on the roof and gets stuck there.
Add, subtract, or change one letter in any word:
1. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
There are others, but these were my favorites.
Maybe some of you can come up with your own.

A RenFesting we won't go....
Posted Oct 3, 2006
It seems our plans to go to the Renaissance Festival have been thwarted. First, Hyp's roof interfered and now Lord C. has pulled a hamstring muscle. 
Maybe next year............

Red Lights and Sirens
Posted Sep 22, 2006
Our little hamlet is a hub of activity this evening. We had an emergency--I don't know what type. Three firetrucks, the ambulance and police all went east of town with red lights and sirens. They were back within fifteen minutes so it must have been a non-event. Thank goodness.
Those of you who hail from large cities do not realize how sirens affect those of us in small towns. We know everyone here so everytime the firetruck or ambulance goes out, it is personal. We're always glad when they return within fifteen minutes.

Eureka!

I've found the perfect Christmas 
for my Mother. It is a day by day calendar of the New York Times Crossword puzzles. Just think, 365 crossword puzzles! That should keep her busy for awhile!

Ice Cream
Posted Sep 10, 2006
I just discovered slow churned ice cream that has 1/3 the calories of regular ice cream. I'm sure you here in the US of A have seen the commercials for it. The flavor we bought was French Silk--positively decadent! (And this comes from one who rarely eats ice cream.)
