Tuesday Blathering

SOOO, it's Tuesday morning and I have three more hours of work. I've been looking at the weather forecast and I think I'll have to do my annual Santa drive around the capital beltway today. It will be sunny and in the 40s. I have things to do tomorrow and Thursday looks like rain. So, I'll take a nap while the rush hour winds down and then don my third identity. Since I've purchased, delivered and received my gifts, there's nothing left for me to do this Christmas except gaze at my Christmas tree in the evening. I'm still the only apartment on this side of the building (the side with the balconies) to decorate. Oh, and I've been roped into making a turduckin again for work. Seems we're having a potluck on Christmas eve. Guess I'll make a rum cake too, just because it's been so long since I made one. While on my return trip, I stopped at a rest stop on the PA Turnpike for a cup of coffee. I have never been in a Starbucks, but there was one there. I looked at their menu and there was NO COFFEE! They had cappuccino, frappiccino, alpacino, etc., but no coffee. I turned around and there was a Cinnabon that sold COFFEE at half the price of the non-coffees at Starbucks. So, I got one, along with a Cinnabon about the size of a couch cushion. It is impossible to eat one of those things with one hand while driving. They're heavy. And they fall apart. But they're finger-lickin' good. And lickin'and lickin' and lickin'. After about 15 minutes, I got my fingers clean enough to grab the wheel with both hands. For you men who have a mate, women like men who drive with both hands on the wheel. I don't know where I read that. And I don't know if it's for safety or groping reasons. Hillary Clinton turned out to be one of the few gutless Democratic presidential candidates brave enough to appear on Fox News. I heard her interview on Fox and Friends as I was driving home from work Monday morning (XM Radio). I actually found myself shouting at my radio, "Doosey! Stop making her laugh!!" This woman HAS to lose, if only so we don't have to listen to that laugh!
