Crime blotter…

January 30, 2010 Ms. C1 Comment

Just a couple of things to share this Saturday eve: First of all, thank you to all the folks who have expressed concern about my health. The good news is that it has improved dramatically.  I was able to get eight un-interrupted hours of sleep last night (not a single coughing episode!) and that helped [...]

Life as we know it will continue tomorrow.

January 25, 2010 Ms. C3 Comments

A bit of tutelage on how to handle a day like today if you are a business or institution that needs to make a decision about whether to close or not.

The difference between purple rain and purple reign…three points.

January 24, 2010 Ms. C1 Comment

Not that I can say I am a fan, but I must admit I did follow with interest the Vikings plight tonight. My son came over to watch the game on my T.V. and I did catch a few plays here and there. I was holding my breath for the Vikes there at the end [...]
