Another classic from Conan O’Brien …. “Did you hear how they caught those Secret Service agents with prostitutes in Colombia? Apparently the men were walking around wearing nothing but their sunglasses and those earpieces.”

Catching up on the week’s news… evidently Santorum now has campaign debt to pay back and Gingrich’s check bounced. Wasn’t the platform for these guys “fiscal responsibility” or something like that? 🙂

This is why women should not complain about men not asking for directions. As we were walking on a downtown street to visit a gallery where Sharmila’s friend’s paintings were on display, I checked my iPhone maps and told her we were headed the wrong way. She looked up and said – “No. All the Indians are coming from this street. We are headed the right way”. That’s how she judges directions!!! Garmin and Tom Tom has nothing on my wife. (and yes, she was wrong 🙂 )

Skymall magazine – cover page ad proudly hawks a keyboard that is spill proof and “dishwasher safe”. No less!!! Dishwasher safe! Now, which one of us has not been annoyed by the accumulating dirt on our keyboards and in an inspired moment then flung them for a good spin with our china and silverware into the dishwasher for a grand old rinse and heat dry cycle? We can rest easy now. There is a product for us! Coming up next from the same “21st Century Ideas Retrofitted for the 19th Century Department” – a hard disk that can be cleaned with your vacuum!!! 🙂

Hilarious!! Although, in our house she is the one who forgets the dates!!!

Natasha has bought 2 magazines in 2 days from the bookstands. Both the times I asked her why would she not simply buy them on her iPad. Thoroughly pained, she asked “Aren’t you the generation that is supposed to go – <in nasal tone> ‘why are you kids always on technology>’ “? Oh! Boy!!!

Catching up on news for the week… Taliban has announced that religion and government are one and the same; women cannot have choices and higher education is for snobs. Wait a second, back up there… that was Rick Santorum? Not Taliban? 🙂 (Okay, that was my quota of one political joke per week 🙂 )

So, how do you tell your Jewish friend not to worry? “Hanukkah Matata” 🙂 I know it is terrible but that is the after effect of all those cold medicines making me doozy as the seven year old watched Lion King for the first time in her life!!
