Am I A Slinky To You?
Jul 30 2007 Filed in: Quotes 2 Remember | The Funnies
This came from Reeno today:
Some people are like slinkies,
They don’t really serve a purpose,
But it still brings a smile to your face
When you push them down the stairs.
Sound logic can be so funny sometimes.

Forget about partisan bullshit. Here's the real question: do you want people spying on you without permission? Could that be construed as preserving freedom? Probably not.

Let The Shuffling Continue: Paula Zahn Out At CNN
Jul 24 2007 Filed in: Ascribe.net Preview
I've always thought of her as a class act, and as her good-bye note (courtesy of MediaBistro) shows, she seems genuinely saddened about her departure. Which was made more hasty, some say, by the arrival of new-hire Campbell Brown. Her letter:To All,
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure from CNN, effective Thursday, August 2nd. I'd like to take this opportunity to express my tremendous respect for my good friends and colleagues, their talent and high standards.
It's been an extraordinary journey since my first day on the job, September 11th, 2001. During my 6 years with CNN, we've covered the war in Iraq, the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the death of a Pope and the massacre at Virginia Tech. I am enormously proud of the work we've done covering these stories as a team.
Now is the right time for CNN and me to move ahead on different paths. I wish good luck and success to everyone I was fortunate to work with. And for the first time in 30 years, I plan to take a break between jobs and catch my breath before I take on my next role. - Paula
Thanks to Pete for livening up every afternoon at SFM with the TV Newser. It's a page-turner!
I'll miss "Out in the Open."

Who Says I Ain't Patriotic?
Jul 15 2007 Filed in: New Captures
Taken during our July 4th extravaganza of a vacation in San Diego... Mission Beach rules! Ken and I went "spouse shopping" during a day out for lunch.Important inside jokes:
1) Shoes.
2) Give it up for Feathers!
3) Spouse shopping
4) Frat-boy WiffleGOLF (it's the new volleyball)
5) Impromptu beach breakdancing
6) Deep, existential beach conversations over (what else?) COCKTAILS
7) Would it be "grawesome" to "CHILLAX"?
8) "Would the owner of a white station wagon please go f%$#$% yourself?"
Anyway, enjoy the pic. O say can you see... I'll load a collection of SD pics soon. Promise.

The Boys In San Diego: So You Think You Can... Prance?
Jul 02 2007 Filed in: Cool Events | Cool People
Having a blast out here at the San Diego Open, where I bombed out of the tourney early, but Jack and Ken are in the finals this afternoon! I'll follow up with event pics later.
Meantime, during off-court time at Barnes Tennis Center, Jack and Ken visited with Mary Murphy -- famed judge of So You Think You Can Dance and repped by former Atlanta resident Michael Sanchez (brother of Season One host Lauren Sanchez). I wasn't able to meet her, but I heard all about it. The pic here is of Jack and Mary with Kynni behind the cell camera.Many more pics to follow, including captures from Mission Beach and some landscapes.
