LaserLady: Italy -- Day One
http://laserlady.blogspot.com/2012/11/italy-day-one.html
A Sophisticated Rhetorician Intoxicated By The Exuberance Of My Own Verbosity. Sunday, November 11, 2012. Italy - Day One. There are some good views on the flight from Paris to Naples. Actually, on initial impression, Naples reminded me quite a bit of India. There were the same kinds of trash piles on the sides of the road, colorful laundry was hanging from most of the apartments, and the buildings showed the same signs of having too much humidity and too little upkeep. Instead, the more sensible members...

LaserLady: May 2012

A Sophisticated Rhetorician Intoxicated By The Exuberance Of My Own Verbosity. Sunday, May 27, 2012. Elementary, my dear Watson. I guess detectives who leap to assumptions make for better TV, but I always worry that real police will think they can do the same thing in real life. And in fact, they often do, which is one of the reasons why we see so many wrongful convictions getting overturned with DNA or other evidence. Wednesday, May 09, 2012.

LaserLady: Italy -- Day 4 (continued)
http://laserlady.blogspot.com/2014/04/italy-day-4-continued.html
A Sophisticated Rhetorician Intoxicated By The Exuberance Of My Own Verbosity. Wednesday, April 02, 2014. Italy - Day 4 (continued). After leaving Vatican City, we hit a couple other points of interest in Rome, none of which I really remember too well now. But here are some photos:. I really liked these flowers at a restaurant in one of the plazas. The Trevi fountain. I filled up my water bottle here - well, at one of the spigots off to the side - and it was quite good.

LaserLady: August 2012
http://laserlady.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
A Sophisticated Rhetorician Intoxicated By The Exuberance Of My Own Verbosity. Saturday, August 11, 2012. One service offered by ldssingles.com is a matching program that uses Science to find people who have compatible personalities and attitudes about religion, family, finances, which spouse should do the dishes, etc. As a firm believer in Science, I naturally had to fill out a profile myself. Or, even more probably, we'd both decide to fly to the other's continent, barely missing each other at the airp...

LaserLady: November 2012
http://laserlady.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
A Sophisticated Rhetorician Intoxicated By The Exuberance Of My Own Verbosity. Sunday, November 18, 2012. One reason I find social interactions confusing is that there are so many questions that have secret, pre-set correct answers. And there's no rule-book, so you've just got to figure this out on your own. Some questions only have one correct answer. For instance, if your mom says, "Cindy, would you like to help wash these dishes? But I don't really want to know if you think this makes me horrible.

LaserLady: Italy -- Day 4
http://laserlady.blogspot.com/2014/03/italy-day-4.html
A Sophisticated Rhetorician Intoxicated By The Exuberance Of My Own Verbosity. Sunday, March 30, 2014. Italy - Day 4. Our first full day in Rome was the day that I decided to be the one to make dumb decisions. Well, I didn't exactly decide to do so ahead of time, but that's the way it turned out. Let's just keep talking about it and hope that suddenly we'll be able to make an informed decision even though we won't have acquired any more information.". Yep, that was about it. The outside was pretty, t...

LaserLady: refugee kids' take on history and political correctness
http://laserlady.blogspot.com/2013/02/refugee-kids-take-on-history-and.html
A Sophisticated Rhetorician Intoxicated By The Exuberance Of My Own Verbosity. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Refugee kids' take on history and political correctness. On today's trip to drive my family of African refugee kids to tutoring, the kid sitting in the front seat noticed my library CD of Martin Luther King sermons, which prompted the following discussion:. First kid: Is this Martin Luther King? Second kid: If it wasn't for Martin Luther King, you'd be a slave, Hamadi. Second kid: It was both of them.

A Sophisticated Rhetorician Intoxicated By The Exuberance Of My Own Verbosity. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. He told us that he does this body scan every night before falling asleep. Thinking about his gratitude for various parts of the body helps him to fall asleep quickly and have a deep, relaxing sleep, he said. When I went to bed on Monday night, I thought to myself, "It's stupid, but I'll give it a try." So I feel asleep thinking about how great the brain is and how grateful I am for mine. Womenfolk, y...

LaserLady: September 2012

A Sophisticated Rhetorician Intoxicated By The Exuberance Of My Own Verbosity. Tuesday, September 18, 2012. A more sensible clock. I don't think alarm clocks are very sensible. That is, I understand that they sometimes serve a necessary purpose, but I don't think they're formatted very sensibly. Tired brains - at least my tired brain - need some context for the time to have any meaning. But why can't an alarm just tell you that, instead of making your brain do all the work? And if any of you ever have to...
