Charlie Brown Said it Best

Good grief!

I understand that repetition is the foundation to clarity (or at least a solid foundation for belief), but Jeez!

Everything is slightly more tragic than it was last week. Palin continues to persist. The economy continues to take head long dives into the shallow end of our pockets. Gas prices continue to fluctuate wildly. Russia con... where's Russia? Other than being able to see it from Palin's porch, I've not even heard a scathing and wholly un-diplomatic remark from Condi Rice about the big Bear over there. Perhaps they're just sitting back and enjoying the entertainment.

Even Mother Nature had a vicious tantrum last week. From Ohio to Texas, that's quite a reach for one storm.

I get it. We're in panic mode, or at least we should be. If any of you giggled at ancient Mayan predictions that 2012 was the end (of something), take note of the signs. It sure feels like an exit ramp of sorts, speed bumps included.

I just want new news, something exciting and fresh. You can't be clean if you continue to wash in the same dirty bath water. Speaking of which, I'm off to work for the fifth time in three days.

HAPPY FRIDAY!
