Jeff Cutler's Bowl of CheeseNot so gentle ramblings about the inane and insaneHave another donut. How about doing some work- September 16, 2008 I recently wrote a column on police details and the complete sham presented by having cops wander about speaking on their cell phones and drinking coffee while progress grinds to a halt. But, it&8217;s not usually the progress of the hole diggers or line workers. The progress that is stifled is that of the rest of ...http://bowlofcheese.com/?p=1442 Sailing, Yard Sale - ing, and what remains- September 14, 2008 A day after the massive yard sale at my tiny yard, we still have an N64 system, a uSurf exerciser, some dishes, some tables and a whole lot of crap. But it was a success. We got rid of 700 feet (I&8217;m guessing) of belongings enabling two people to live in one house without tripping repeatedly ...http://bowlofcheese.com/?p=1440 Yard Sale. First item to go, my psyche.- September 12, 2008 I&8217;m surrounded by crap and I&8217;ve decided to unload it on other people. The way we do that here in the United States is by putting up paper signs all over town, taking an ad out in the local paper, posting a note on Craigslist, and then spending the best part of a weekend sitting ...http://bowlofcheese.com/?p=1438 Happy and Sad Scale- September 8, 2008 Just back from my journalism conference in Atlanta, I&8217;m sipping tea and taking measure of my situation. This means I&8217;ve created a quick list of things I&8217;m happy about, sad about, puzzled about and positive about. Positive might sound a little vague, but these are the things I&8217;m sure of and instead of using &8217;sure&8217; ...http://bowlofcheese.com/?p=1436 My Hotel Fears- September 5, 2008 Yes, I write another block titled Things to Worry About, but I thought the topic of hotel worries was deep enough to warrant its own entry right here. Im not the most fastidious person, so dust doesnt bother me unless its excessive. And when Im at a hotel, like I am this weekend, I sometimes create ...http://bowlofcheese.com/?p=1433 Molly McDonough is a Virtual Farmgirl- September 4, 2008 Actually, that sounds a lot more racy than it is. Molly presented a great session at the Society of Professional Journalists Conference (spj08) in Atlanta today and shared her site and about 59 other great sites with us too. But here&8217;s her personal blog - it&8217;s fun and it has lots of readers, unlike my sites. Visit ...http://bowlofcheese.com/?p=1431 Bill Clintons Cigar or Sarah Palins Darling Daughter- September 1, 2008 What would you rather deal with this presidential election season I&8217;ve just written a post over at Jeff Cutler dot com that details some of the ways in which a pregnant 17-year-old could affect the GOP&8217;s plan to win the White House. It doesn&8217;t help that their platform is all about family values. Yikes! More to come&8230;http://bowlofcheese.com/?p=1429 |
