SILVER LINING As any eternally optimistic Californian will tell you: nothing bad is ever going to happen. And in the unlikely event that it does, there is always a silver lining. Bathroom still gutted thus rendering your house unlivable? Yes but the wood floors you just had refinished will have longer to "cure" and thus be more impervious to scratches. Arnold Governor? ..............................Wait a minute I'm still thinking....................................................I know! Now that embarrassing indiscretions of the past are no longer show stoppers for seeking public office, we may finally start to see some good qualified candidates coming up to the plate.....Or did we forgive Arnie his transgressions just because he was a celebrity?....

And no he has never, as far as I know, walked up to a woman, pulled up her shirt, and taken a picture of her boobs....

THE PURITAN GHOSTS LOSING THEIR STRONGHOLD AS THE LEGISLATURE APPEARS POISED TO ALLOW PACKAGE STORES TO OPEN ON SUNDAY. The days of frantically hunting down a bottle of Chardonnay to accompany the fine braised chicken hubby is preparing on a Sunday may become a thing of the past as Massachusetts lawmakers get ready to roll back the colonial-area blue laws that forbid selling alcohol on Sundays. The House and Senate leaders expressed support Tuesday for a bill that would allow, but not require, cities and towns to issue licenses to sell alcohol on Sundays. Works for me! My boss, however, inexplicably voted against it...

NATIONAL DEPRESSION SCREENING DAY October 9th is yet another birthday. Forty-four. Where do they come from so damn fast? Ironically the Commonwealth has just declared this day National Depression Screening Day. Or perhaps ironically not.
