MORNING UPDATE - August 15, 2014

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather is still pretty decent - especially for August. Sniff is sleeping in the cat house, and George is sleeping on my bed. 
Thanks to the geniuses that wired our apartment I can either use a coffeemaker or a microwave - but not both at the same time.
USA "lost its top spot as the most visited country" to - drum roll please - France! I guess people really like to see what muslim occupation can do to a somewhat civilized nation. Russian Federation is at # 9 - the uncontrollable desire to see what an insane asylum looks like?
"Trump's other daughter" - hell, Marla's daughter is 20?!! I feel so damn old!
"How to julienne veggies" - oh, for pete's sake! You get a gadget and you do it!
"Scuba from your computer" - no, thank you; I would rather scuba in Aruba.
"Get the most from vacation" - oh, give me a break! It's a vacation!!! Just enjoy!
"Can hunger be turned on and off?" - yea, if you eat, you are not hungry; if you don't eat, you are!
"Could video games be used to fight depression?" - I think that's already a given.
"Plane trouble forces Kerry to fly commercial" - ah, poor John! At least he reduced his carbon footprint, if not his disastrous impact on the global politics.
Bieber was "seen" attending Bible study with Selena - wow! I guess now I have seen everything.
Coffee this morning in my US Virgin Islands mug.

MORNING UPDATE - April 2, 2014

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! It is a whole 44 degrees outside! Almost swimsuit weather! 
Sniff decided that sleeping in the middle of my bed is fun and worth being kicked repeatedly. I, on the other hand, have to sleep diagonally as he also hugs my blanket. George continues to hunt on my window.
Yesterday a pair of unshot aging hippies politely asked me for Jane Fonda's new book - really hope my face said all I could not say. On the other hand, some enterprising soul decided to make a whole picture book out of Kipling's poem If - so now we have another very un-PC book in that section.
Currently trending at # 7 is Rosie O'Donnell - because she is going to get an honorary Tony award. Poor Rosie - not even a real Tony!
According to Emma Watson, "fashion industry is 'dangerously' unhealthy" - well, duh! What a profound and original statement!
Meanwhile, in rural Brazil there is a wild hunt for "a new Giselle" - one is enough, thank you very much!
"Trump rallies against gun control in New York" - thank you, Donald! Once in a blue moon you still tend to be useful.
"Justin Bieber DUI case on brink of plea deal" - oh, what a relieve!
And, finally, Kate was "spotted" buying baby clothes for Georgie at the Gap - Kate, their quality if not what is used to be, unfortunately.
