My Front Porch...: July 2006
http://gloriaslater.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Gloria Slater's humor archives. I don't have a lot to say, but when I do it sounds something like this. Friday, July 28, 2006. Yet we merely boarded up our windows with plywood and enough duct tape to encircle the globe, then watched our neighbors as they packed up their panel wagons and headed for motels in the center of the state or to the National Guard armory for a couple nights of relative safety on rickety army cots. My family never budged. Why such a foolhardy lot, you ask? My mother, who hated do...

My Front Porch...: May 2006
http://gloriaslater.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Gloria Slater's humor archives. I don't have a lot to say, but when I do it sounds something like this. Sunday, May 07, 2006. That doesn't sound quite right, does it. Let me explain. Seems my editor at the Livingston County News thought enough of my column to enter me in the NY Press Association's yearly contest. I was awarded second place in our circulation division. That's where the WOO-HOO! Comes in. Go ahead, try it, it's fun. Pg 14, I think. Preview: zany, wry and clever). Posted by gloria @ 12:21 AM.

Test Bed 2: September 2005
http://tctestbed2.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
A test of the description area. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. Random Thoughts and Administrative Notes. I caught a glimpse of Geena Davis last night on Monday Night Football plugging her new show. Watching her amazing display of ‘don’t give a shit about being here Al’ attitude it struck me that she’s really frumpy and prudish for an actress, but looks like a formerly hot soccer mom trying hard to get some strange. Seniors with unexplained weight loss may be at high risk of developing Alzheimer's, a study.

Matt Richtel: June 2007
http://mattrichtel.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 29, 2007. And a peck too from the entire US of A. USA Today included Hooked among the five summer books it singled out for "pure, heart-pounding escapism.". Http:/ www.usatoday.com/life/books/reviews/2007-06-27-summer-thrillers N.htm. Posted by Matt Richtel at 10:00 PM. A sloppy wet kiss from California. The California report, a statewide public radio program, gave Hooked a sloppy wet kiss of a review this afternoon. Don't get no better than this. Posted by Matt Richtel at 9:59 PM. A page-tu...

This space for sublet. I'll start being nice when everyone else stops being stupid. The angels are as cryptic as their master or the prophecies. We do not know if we are to impart wisdom to the subject or let it develop naturally. The angels appear to know and act within an inconsistent framework. Advice is whispered surreptitiously one moment and in the next, the subjects mind is clouded, simple concepts obfuscated. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Back of The Envelope.
