Eartha Kitt leaves us  

I was in a good mood but not so much right now, Eartha Kitt died today at 81. Next time I hear “Santa Baby” I’ll be thinking of her.

Christmas Eve 2008  

It’s been a quiet day today.  In a couple of minutes I’ll wake Lily up from her nap and we will get to work. The kids are asleep and I’ll get everything that we’ve carefully hidden. In case I am too busy, Merry Christmas everyone!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow  

This morning the kids woke up to snow on the ground.  It’s still snowing lightly and after I run some errands I’ll take some pictures.

More GITMO legal good news  

This cheers me up: Judge Declares Five Detainees Held Illegally. I am sure the Bush Administration will fight this till the end. But even with bad guys, we need to follow the law instead of making excuses.

“Yes your Honor, a horse race.”  

The Senator Stevens juror who left the trial? It wasn’t her dad she went to see. It was a horse race.

You really can’t make this stuff up.

Got a new iPhone  

I’m playing with the iphone and so far so good. The intergration and UI show how developed the product is. Serious time wasting potential.
