		<description>I know this is a late comment, I have been out of town, but it has to be said.

Listen up men.

Grey&#039;s Anatomy is a great show. If your wife is not watching the show, make her, and if you can&#039;t get lucky after she watches the show, you probably have issues. 

P.S.(pig comment coming)
Since all these girls have gushed over McDreamy and McSteamy, I&#039;ll put my 2 cents in about the women on the show.
Hot. McDreamy&#039;s wife is the hottest! The show would be even better if Meredith and Addison became best friends and well you kmow the rest.</description>

		<description>Now, see how Dana, Tanilan, Juli, Jenna, Kari, Hannah, Yvonne, Sue, DavidShag, InTheFastLane, Elizabeth, Mommy off the Record, Jessica, and MizAngie are going to feel when I &lt;i&gt;only&lt;/i&gt; answer you, Steve? 

Hmmmmm? Did you think about that? Nooooooooo. ;-)

However, they all pretty much agree with McDreamy, McSteamy and just plain old getting McHot about these tv hunks. (Ok. Maybe DavidShag didn&#039;t really comment on the same exact stuff, but STILL.)

I&#039;ve been a wee bit tied up of late. 

Item: I have two classes and three grants to write in the next day or so and they are long and boring.

Item: My precious little girl is home for the weekend (read: hanging out with her friends and fits in time for me when she can).

Item: I&#039;ll try to do better at comments. Or maybe I&#039;ll just answer you. Only if you comment &lt;i&gt;every single day&lt;/i&gt;. Nah. Nobody could do that. 

*goes to look through archives to see if that&#039;s actually even happened.</description>

		<description>Hiya Kelly!

The MSN Spacers have arrived in town, and we had our first get together last night (7 + Me). Although it was somewhat bittersweet on account of recent events, a good time was had by all, and I feel we gave The King a fitting send off. 

I could not sleep last night until I had written and posted an article about the gathering, complete with color glossy photographs with circles and arrows on the back of each one (sorry Arlo).

As to violating the time honored tradition of &quot;What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas&quot; ? Much as I like you, I would never dream of even THINKING of not upholding that maxim, because if I know that if I did, they would never find my body out in the desert somewhere. Sorry!

On to other matters: I have just gone back to read your responses to my comments on your recent posts, and was STUNNED AND DISMAYED to see that you had made NO RESPONSE to any of them. (sniff, sniff) 

I can only assume that this must be my fault. That somehow I have allowed the quality of my commentary to slip far enough below the radar to escape your notice. I hereby resolve to try to do much better in the future.

To that end, I really only have three observations with regard to THIS post:

Item: If a person was unable to read, then how in hell could he learn mathematics? Or anything else for that matter? Nuf said.

Item: I have noticed that the level of conversations will eventually (and invariably) level out at the lowest common denominator of all of the participants. That common (pun) denominator will very often be something revolving in or around sex. (another pun - in case you missed it)

Item: I got a vivid visual on the eating-quiche-off-the-belly deal, which I have dutifully stored away in my fast access memory banks, and will be using for my own personal gratification for years to come (pun) I&#039;m sure.

Thank You for that.

		<description>Ugh. This reminds me....I need to change from my straw purse to my leather purse. I&#039;ve been putting it off, which is easy when it&#039;s still 90 degrees outside. This weekend, tho, it has cooled down to 85 and I feel like a walking/talking faux pas.

I don&#039;t plan on giving up my flip-flops anytime soon, tho!!</description>
