Some of my new favorite web sites . . .

An excavation of Kevin's hideous collection of 80's sweaters:

An apology from the 1/2 of the United States that did NOT vote for a bumbling idiot (I think it's funny to call him a monkey but, frankly, believe that it shortchanges the monkey):

(Will try to figure out how to create a link!)

And more memorable people:

(1) the rail-thin (if a rail was the size of a fragile twig) old man who sits each day just outside the fence of the nearby country club's golf course, where he picks up all errant balls within his reach and re-sells them for cash;

(2) the woman at the gas station who volunteered to help me remove my car's coolant cap one morning this week as I was about to embark on a road trip to Oklahoma . . . she saw me staring blankly under the hood of my car while trying to work up the courage to remove the cap myself, for fear that a hot liquid would explode all over me and one of my favorite suits; and

(3) the burly-yet-handsome Louisiana State Sheriff/Body Guard for Clint Black who I met after a Cubs/Astros game in Houston, along with his investor and river boat captain friends . . . they shared their boudin (Cajun sausage) with me right there in the lobby bar at the Hilton, where the Sheriff demonstrated uncannily correct (albeit uninvited) insight into my personality and romantic status.
