On Christmas night, like we do every year, we went to visit Angela’s brothers. Of her family, her two brothers are all who are left. Both brothers are married but only the eldest brother has children. It’s at his house,...

Kendi's Christmas present to us this year - NO it was NOT a really big plopper! - is an attempt to add to her vocabulary. I think she has a tremendous vocabulary for a parrot who has just turned two,...

In Which I Make an Executive Decision.... posted on Dec 26, 2007 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Job-In-A-Box]

and, much like a politician tries to cloak stuff in patriotism, I go so far as to envoke a higher power. Well, politicians do that too, of course. Anyway, here follows the memo I sent to the Uber-boss this morning........

Okay. I've been malled. Shopped until I dropped. Well, I didn't drop, but that was mostly because The Hub was there to catch me. Because of the way the pay weeks fell I wound up doing a great deal of...

Counting the Crows posted on Dec 20, 2007 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Bird Blog]

The flock of crows that lives near my house is back. Well, at least 3 of them are. I haven't seen the other 2. I wonder what happened? Maybe the other two got married....that's why the rest of the flock...

I heard a statistic that Americans eat 12 pounds of chocolate a year. I think I eat 12 pounds of chocolate just at Christmas. Yikes "Sink The Monitor!" Please The Hub is buiding a folk art replica of the battleship...

The Jewish Christmas Party posted on Dec 15, 2007 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Job-In-A-Box]

Yesterday I went to the office Christmas Party with the boss and the uber boss. It was a little weird, in the way that office parties are always weird. For one thing, the uber boss harrangued the boss mildly during...

Scurrying Around at Holiday Time posted on Dec 13, 2007 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Observations]

I did some Christmas shopping today. It appears that my Christmas dollar is not going to go as far this year as it did last year - price of gasoline and all that. So I decided to check out Big...

Tis the Time to Flock Together posted on Dec 12, 2007 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Bird Blog]

I think the flock of crows who lives near my exit on 795 - they like it because there's, er, plenty to eat by the side of the road there - are having company for the holidays. When I went...

The Hub is pretending to be mad at me again. I know he isn't really. After all, he admitted, "I must want you to do it on some subconcious level. Otherwise I wouldn't encourage you." I guessed my Christmas present....

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished....Again posted on Dec 05, 2007 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Job-In-A-Box]

Last night when I was out shopping, I was looking for English chocolate to give to my boss as a Hanukka gift. She said that English chocolate is her favorite kind, since she's from the UK. I was looking for...

The worst problem with the slow real estate market is....well, besides it being slow, that not only do I not have all that much to do, but neither does anybody else. This is really bad if you have a manager,...

Hey! This meclizine (the medication I was given to help with dizziness) seems to be working. And I haven't fallen asleep drooling in front of the t.v. Of course, if I DID fall asleep drooling in front of the tv...
