The Home of the Future
I drew this when I was 4 or 5. A couple things of note:
1. Right side: The parking lot *inside* the house. Carbon monoxide issues, anyone? But I do give myself credit for including [...]

The Consumer Product Safety Commission, in their infinite wisdom, is asking libraries to take children’s books printed before 1986 off the shelves. Why? They want to investigate whether the books have unsafe levels of LEAD in the ink. LEAD. Are you kidding me?
A law was passed last summer [...]

After working on my laptop today, I am seriously considering attending couples therapy with Windows Vista. We are having major issues. It looks like Mac and PC have already tried therapy. I think this is hilariously funny. (Why are we always portrayed as wearing glasses and having our hair up? [...]

Last night I was watching “Pushing Daisies” (a great show, although it has recently been cancelled), and one of the characters, after having a rough time, says, “I need an emotional snow day!” 
Emotional snow day…I like that concept.  Maybe if more of us took emotional snow days there would be less illness, less relationship issues, [...]

Yesterday I was listening to the radio when a song came on with tango-type music. I was enjoying it until I heard the lyrics. It was about a woman getting revenge on her lover by smashing his car windows. There was also a song that came out about a year ago similar [...]

I admit it, I talk to my laptop and printer. No, not so much talk….I order them.  There are different stages to negotiating with electronics.
1.  Instigating Event:  The electronic item refuses to perform a task.  This morning my printer refused to print out a document.
2.  Disbelief:  You can’t believe after all the time and effort you [...]

I even still go on vacations with my parents. And I really enjoy it.
I’ve been battling strep for the last couple of days, [...]

Yes, I am aware that Princeton Review ranked UF as the #1 party school in the nation.
Yes, this is the school I got four degrees from.
Yes, I did have fun during my extended Gator tour.
Yes, I did (and still do) go to the football and basketball games.
Yes, I did attempt to study during my extended [...]

The strep bug I had a month ago has come back with a vengance.  Here’s how I knew that I was getting sick again:
1.  I got in the car and Rush Limbaugh was on the radio.  I made no attempt to turn the radio off. (If what he was saying actually made sense, I would [...]

I remember all of the obscure Sesame Street characters.  This is a typical conversation I have with coworkers:
Steph: Remember Little Bird?  He looked just like Big Bird, only smaller. (This is not one of my more profound statements.)
Unknowledgeable person (UP): Little Bird?  Nah, there wasn’t a Little Bird.
Steph:  Google it.
UP: Whoa…there was a Little Bird!  [...]
