So the whole point of Hanukkah is a miracle happened – oil that was supposed to last for one night lasted for eight. I was lighting my menorah tonight and hoping that the money I have for the next month, will last eight months, so I have enough for the LaLa. Miracle thinking. The shutters are being fitted back on the windows, but a lot of them got hammered with the stripping and so they…
Going to pick up the Bean this morning from the pokey learned that Endymion is riding in MidCity in ’07 despite opposition from the police force and other city officials. Yee Ha!
Don’t know why when I travel I always gain better insight than when I am sitting at home – but on my little sojourn to the Midwest, I came to some inevitable truths about me – I need behavior modification because my body and mind are so used to thriving on chaos that I can’t sit still – I am desperately seeking stillness – note to self: where can I find stillness? or how do…
Touched down to a foggy veil covering New Orleans this evening – today in Milwaukee, the snow was banked up against the streets – it snowed a week ago I think, good grief! – then we were driving back into Chicago, straight into a parking lot of traffic and the air outside was muggy and cold – how is that possible?

On Tuesday a conference was held in Tehran to join in a united cry to dismantle Israel and to descry the Holocaust saying it never happened – one high profile American in attendance, David Duke, railed against zionist terror and murder – amazes me that my brother hired this man to host his radio talk show years ago – the SF Chronicle said Jew hires Duke making me glad I took my husband’s last name…
I take it as a compliment that during my tenure at OTR some of the people in my group have referred to me as Jack Welch – not due to my corporate compensation package but rather the diverse landscape I have had to manage – from heavy equiipment to online advertising – but what I see as the similarity between Jack and myself is the coinage of “the naked truth” whereby Welch suggests the internet…
Julie Rhoem – who was a source I was cultivating at Chrysler got hired at Walmart and was soon dismissed for radical behavior according to them – it was a big scandal in the advertising community but the way I see it it is more of a scandal for Walmart who is losing share and revenue – know what I say? – good – I am not one of those bring the mighty down types…
Who picks Chicago as a central meeting point in December???, she asks from her hard plastic airport chair.
