Tim Russert
Just taking a moment to say I'll miss Tim Russert. He was a good man. A measure of how good he was is how solid his son is in this interview.
God bless him.
God bless him.

Consistency
This is just a quick note to myself to give more thought to something Ayn Rand said in regard to conservatives (which I am decidedly not!): "consistency is a requirement of reason, not of faith".
Food for thought. I need to chew on this observation.

Open It!
Sometimes, the little things in life make such a difference. In this case, I am referring to a gadget named "Open It!".
I bought it last Christmas for about $10 at Home Depot. The purpose for which I bought it was to make it easier to open goodies sealed in tough plastic covers. Too often, those damned things are a bear to break open. This handy tool does a great job of slicing through them much more effectively than normal scissors.
Well, this week, I've been wrestling with installing stick and peel tiles in my closet. The stick and peel part was easy. The hard part was lining them up neatly and, toughest of all, cutting them to fit well around a large water heater.
Yup, you guessed it, Open It! was a perfect tool for this job. Wherever I had to do precision cutting of this heavy, sturdy plastic tile, Open It! was a hero. I especially appreciated it when I had to cut a slight curve. Try doing that with a straight edged cutting knife (and as safely as Open It! does).
This ends our commitment to our sponsor. Now, we return you to your regularly scheduled program. ;^)

Coffee: black as hell, strong as death, sweet as love
The title of this post refers to Turkish coffee. I'm not a big coffee drinker but I love this proverb; it's short, memorable, and, from what I recall of tasting Turkish coffee, true.
