I Spent the Last Few Years Building Up an Immunity to Iocane Powder

For my money, a person cannot watch "The Princess Bride" too many times. So, that is what I'm doing right now. Currently, Fezzik is climbing The Cliffs of Insanity, and his job is at stake.

B was supposed to get home over an hour ago. Sadly, he had to let someone go this afternoon and he is late. In addition to him being late, he is going to be moody tonight. I feel bad for the guy, he doesn't enjoy negatively impacting another person's livelihood. Thank God for wine at supper.

All right then, what I'd like to know is how different people define dinner. Where I come from, dinner is what you eat during the middle of the day and supper is what you eat at the end of the work day. In B's opinion, dinner means supper and lunch is lunch. This has led to many different miscommunications where I show up for dinner and he wonders why the hell I dropped by for lunch, not that I did this today. Cause, I didn't. Nope. Not me.

God, I'm hungry. Where do you suppose Vizzini got the wine, bread, cheese and apples on such short notice?

Katrina

I don’t understand our government’s response to this situation. Why didn’t our president end his vacation before the hurricane hit and rally some sort of evacuation effort for people without means? You can prevent tragedy, not just clean up after it. While the hurricane was chugging up the gulf toward some of the poorest states in the union, what were our governing officials doing? Are they so out of touch with the people that they didn’t realize many folks didn't have the means to leave? Worse yet, did they realize people didn’t have the means to leave and didn’t act?
Some people are calling this event "our tsunami". When the tsunami hit South-East Asia, they had no warning. We knew the hurricane was coming days ahead of time, and we didn’t help those in need get out of Katrina’s way. This event is much worse than the tsunami, because we could have done something more to get people out of the way and we didn't. We have much to be ashamed of.
