There's a serious traffic jam on the 495 Washington beltway that I happen to be stuck in. It's worse than stop & go, stop & go - it's more like stooooooop & go, stoooooooooooop & go. Trying to stay awake, my mind is wandering, giving me images and sounds.
*If I were to open a furniture store, I would call it the Sit Shack. Or maybe a DIY surgery shop called Suture Self.
*Brenda's music teacher friend told her she's fond of tongue twisters which she uses as lip looseners for her trumpet players. It seems to me the opposite would happen. Lip lock. But I offered her 'How many Lowe's could Rob Lowe rob if Rob Lowe could rob Lowe's.' She was only mildly amused.
*Try not to be selfish this Hallowen. Vampires suck your blood for the vitamin C it contains because they can't go out in the sun. Did you ever think about that? No. Because all you think about is yourself. - That'll probably find its way to Facebook.

Oooooo... traffic is moving 10 mph, now! Gotta go.

Kelly collects puns for her future businesses. She wants to open a rug shop called La Brea Carpets, a storage facility called The Best Little Warehouse in Texas, and a transportation service called No Prob Limo.

Just As I Suspected...

A panel of experts (a group of listeners to Britain's BBC 6) have determined the worst duet in history. Obviously this group has no credentials or necessarily any credibility and history is such a long time. But that's a pretty good vote if schmaltz makes a song bad. Go »

Halloween Short Clips

Mark Gervais created this film for Halloween to be broadcast on a home's window. If I saw this in my neighborhood, it would really creep me out and I would give the house a wide berth. Then I'd come back later and watch it a dozen times. Go »

Brenda's Diet Diary

Dear Diet Diary, As a Christmas present this year, my daughter, Lauren (what a thoughtful darling), bought me a week of personal training at the local health club. Although I am still in reasonable shape since being a high school cheerleader 40 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Juan Antonio (ooh what a name) who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear.

Hall Of Fame Ballot Contains No Rockers Or Rollers

Except for the Dave Clark Five, this year's crop of Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame nominees are lacking something: rock-n-roll credibility. I, myself, don't feel as strongly as the sentiments expressed in this article. I'm okay with John Mellencamp being on the ballot - just wouldn't vote for him before Kiss. Go »
