When AT&T was forced to break up back in the 80s, I wasn’t a big proponent of it. I’m still not. Saturday we had occasion to call Australia. My mother’s phone service, both local and LD, is through MCI. Apparently, because of the kind of plan she has, she’s unable to call internationally. We made …
From the AP: Chief Justice John Roberts was taken by ambulance to a hospital on Monday after a fall at his home in Maine, Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said. Been there, done that, didn’t like it. I hope he can pay the bills for the CAT scans and MRIs. It cost me $2K at …
I’m doing my usual Sunday washing, and I went looking within my iTunes library for songs with titles including “wash” or “clothes.” Couldn’t find any. The only one I can think of offhand is “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of my Hair” from South Pacific. Ideas?

I’m not currently in this position, but if I were, I’d have a dilemma. Suppose you were given a $25 iTunes gift card for one reason or another: would you hunt for 25 individual songs or buy a couple of albums by your favorite artist(s)?
Our ice machine has been visited by technicians on Saturday and again on Tuesday, and it still doesn’t work properly. So I’m waiting for the third visit today (between 8 & 5!
