Rant over … ’til next time.

This morning (beautiful morning) I’ve been perusing the news, which seems riddled with tragedies – luge accidents, professorial shootings – and all the usual stuff.  It can feel like things have come unhinged, eh?

Here are some random items to focus on, while the universe realigns itself …

FM Cornog is my cousin and a musician who’s really quite nice to listen to.  Here’s an interview … supplied by HollyCornblog!

For random tips, interesting trends, and brief tidbits that will keep you in “the loop” check out LifeHacker.  This is from HollyCornblog, too – a site I used to visit but kinda forgot about …

For random items at inexpensive prices, you can check Woot – their descriptions are entertaiing enough to be worth a drive-by most days!

Here’s a nice article about the Phillies’ Roy Halliday … sounds a lot like Chase Utley!  Love the work ethic!

And then there’s Westminster – this year with 3 new breeds!  That’s Monday and Tuesday … Feb 15th and 16th.  Set your DVR’s!

Finally … after much internal debate … JordanCornblog took the plunge and is now the proud owner of a shiney, black, Elantra Touring hatchback.

I think I’m gonna be very happy with it.  As PB noted, just look for the Elantra with the Phillies plates!

Last … here’s the women’s b-ball/TV schedule through Monday night.  UConn-Oklahoma?  What do you think?
