My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Sternutations R Us!

This will be a great day if the sternutations (atishoo) will ever stop.  The wind is causing havoc stirring up all the pollen...

It sure is bizarre the way things worked out.  We were so looking forward to being empty-nesters, if even for a short while... Someone told us that you are really not empty-nesters until the family dog dies.  Well Zoe had to be put down, Tori left for school and Ev moved back in.  Now we have Max, Tori is back for the summer and Ev is still here. Our only hope is to move into a one-bedroom condo...!



Top ten reasons why the bible would be different if it
were written by university students.

10. The Last Supper would have been eaten the next morning, cold.

9. The Ten Commandments would be actually only five, double-spaced, and written in large font.

8. Promiscuous females would be pissed, not stoned.

7. Forbidden fruit would still have been eaten, anything is better than college food.

6. Paul's letter to the Romans becomes Paul's e-mail to abuse@romans.gov.

5. Reason Cain Killed Abel: they were flatting together and the dishes weren't getting done.

4. The time and place where the end of the world occurs would be lecture theatres in October.

3. Mary would have made a complaint to the sexual harassment committee concerning Gods unwanted advances.

2. The reason why Moses and the followers walked in the desert for forty years: they didn't want to ask
directions and look like freshmen.

1. Instead of God creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh, he would have put it off until
the night before it was due and then pulled an all-nighter.
