Miscellany Miss' Don't Miss

Some things I have to share ... in no particular order and with no particular tie.

What Do You Mean There's No Dragon in Them? -- In the silly news item of the day (courtesy of The Times), "A SPICY sausage known as the Welsh Dragon will have to be renamed after trading standards’ officers warned the manufacturers that they could face prosecution because it does not contain dragon." The full text is here.

Decisions, Decisions -- Because sometimes we all need a little cute in our lives ... Puppy War.

Because Age Brings Wisdom -- One of the most fascinating blogs I've ever read ... written by a 92 year old, no less. Don To Earth features the insights and thoughts of a former broadcaster. Fascinating stuff.

Curling Redux

In my various incarnations as a blogger, I have never been linked to that I can recall -- certainly nothing other than one of my friends pointing out a post of mine in his or her blog.

But this morning, I checked out one of my favorite blogs: The Curling News Blog and read through it. I got to the "We've hooked another one" link and hit it without looking.

And it brought me here!!! (I know, multiple exclamation marks are the sure sign of a fractured mind, but still ....)

So thanks to The Curling News and welcome to anyone who might have followed the link yourself.

Wilkommen, Bienvenue ... Welcome

Not sure that life is a cabaret or not ... maybe just a good dinner show with some really nice desserts ... but I've decided to be another voice in the wilderness, in hopes that a raccoon or two might find it interesting (or at least eat the Rice Krispie treats).

So what am I going to be writing about? Pretty much anything that strikes my fancy. I like sports (masters degree in sports administration that's gathering dust on a shelf -- and my new sporting love is ... curling!), theatre (about to head into the wilds of Canada for some of the best theatre in the world), and the general nuttiness that is the world and those who populate it.

If it sounds interesting, come on in and have a seat. The Rice Krispie treats are in the corner and the comfy chairs are hidden in the back.
