The Fed rushes to the rescue so the Hedge Fund Boyz can put off the day of reckoning a little longer.But they're not the only ones dodging bullets this week, so have I.
First there was the case of wine, Chocalán Cabernet Sauvignon to be exact, that I dropped. Actually I was trying to hold it in one arm while I was closing the hatch on the van when it went flying, landing on the driveway asphalt. I held my breath waiting for a pool of wine to emerge but nothing happened. I opened t...

Seat belts fastened? I guess the only question now is exactly how bad will it be..."The median American family is going into what looks like a recession owing more than 100 percent of its annual income."

As anyone who cares to look will notice, I was 250 calories over my target again yesterday.

But we had a good visit and never even got around to watching "The Dresser" as we'd planned.Marilyn was surprised to see I'm still wearing the same sweat pants I was wearing 35 pounds ago so I'm taking a moment to acknowledge the value of good elastic. The pants may be a bit bagg...
