I Wonder What the Introductory Speech

is going to sound like. "Tony Snow has served the White House well for the past several years in a position at our public relations branch. He has been faithful and loyal. I know he will continue to serve us well in his new position."

Chinatown Main

That would be the default MS Office spell check of my name. It has shown up in at least one email that I've received.

My friend's mortgage loan almost didn't close today because her name showed up on a terror watch list. Uhmmm.....she's a freaking hindu people!

Reordering of Automotive Royalty

Anybody who knows Atlanta knows that the valet parkers at Lenox Square estimate a car's cachet rather well. Plebian carriages are relegated to the lot, while they reserve these premium covered, angled spots up near the pick-up/drop-off driveway for the cream of the crop. My pedestrian (bad word choice?) Audi A4 has no business in one of those spots. Porsches, Rolls Royces, and M5s and S-Class Mercedes get those spots.

So imagine my shock yesterday when I saw a lowly Ford Fusion in one of those prized berths. And next to it...a freaking Buick? Yep. Apocalypse Now.

That’s all, just thought you’d be interested.
