I notice that when a college basketball player falls on the court, the first person on the scene is not the medical team but the person in charge of mopping up the sweat. Priorities.

When Is A Cup A Cup?
A cup of milk is 8 oz. But a cup of coffee is 4 oz. as is a cup of shredded cheese. Why the varying standards?
Keep Your Candle Warm.
Charles Mingus
I received two Charles Mingus Cds this Christmas from my kids. Most excellent jazz that I have heard in a long time. While they were recorded in the late 50s and early 60s, they are timeless. While I had no previous experience with the man, I took the recommendation of a co-worker and it paid of well.
Beware Of The 407!!
While driving around Toronto this fall, I encountered the 407 toll road. Initially, the 407 sounded like a good idea as it offered a bypass to all of the traffic around Toronto. But, you soon discover that there are no toll booths. Instead, they take a picture of your license plate and then send you a bill. Of course, they charge you for taking that picture as well as charging you for driving on the road. My 3 (?) mile excursion cost me $13 CAD. I will avoid Canadian toll roads in the future.
