"dear john and sara"

cancel the debate because you are indispensable to the bailout talks??

right. and i can see michigan from my town in wisconsin. so there.

"what the ----! do i look puffy to you?"

i gained 4 pounds this week. it must be congestive heart failure. not the apple cake.

human nature....

one of my coworkers, new to my office, a person i took an instant liking to, brought in a home-made apple cake today.
all the best flavors and smells of fall in a 9x13 pan!
how could i say no to that?
i kept going to the office kitchen, taking razor-thin slices at a time, stuffin' them in when no one was around.
who am i kidding here?

is this the economic formula for the big bailout???

It's been so long since math class, right? What is this thing anyhow?

Here's a hint. The above formula has everything to do with points. And these points are hot topics of conversation at our house and have been for 6 months now.

Not points as in badger football, packer football, or brewer baseball.

This formula is the calculation for figuring out weightwatcher point values of foods and we are into it in a big way. But we cheat by using a little calculator that thinks for us.

And it's working. We are working our way to slim 'n trim!

It's the first day of Autumn. Always a day of conflicting feelings for me....

Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,

Tears from the depth of some divine despair,

Rise in the heart and gather in the eyes,

In looking on the happy autumn fields,

And thinking of the days that are no more.

--Alfred, Lord Tennyson
