#samplesunday (1st entry) by Marsha Leigh St.Claire-B This memoir piece is posted with permission from: The Palo Alto Review ( Spring 2007 issue) Archie,Veronica, Jughead and Me. Tuesday afternoons began like this. I’m sitting near my front door with a folder full of piano music propped against my feet. The door is slightly ajar so I can peek around it from time to time to see if the taxicab has  [ Read More ]

ok these things are fun. Or..maybe we’ve turned into little kids. Doesn’t matter. I love em. I make screenshots of the scenes too which is verrrry time consuming – but worth it. Here are the ones I made so far:  If you click the links they play on the JibJab site. Starring (left to right top to bottom) Jeff, Julio, Rich, Marsh (me), Greg, Mickie “It’s A JibJab Life” I  [ Read More ]

You have a boarding pass?” …but before I could utter a single word  [ Read More ]

Very much like “baby inside another baby” as in the freaky deaky Russian place to get babies according to fake Angolina on SNL.  I’ll link the SNL shortly but in the meantime – go check out the LAX blog.

Seems like Jeff  (Amazon CEO) has done it again — although when I first saw the 500.00 price tag I had to ask myself,  “Wouldn’t that be like buying 35 hardbacks at about 10 bucks?”  How long did it take you to buy your last 35?  I rest my case.  The hidden secret is the wifi connection.  That one time price of 500.00 retail covers downloading books from Amazon indefinitely?   [ Read More ]

A while back on St.Pat’s I made this video about a desert of Pistachio ice cream with Kahlua.  Since then, all the grocery stores in my area have completely stopped carrying Haagen Dazs Pistachio – which by the way is the only true pistachio as far as I’m concerned.  31 Flavors makes fake pistachio with almonds.  So why don’t they just call it almond ice cream?  Nooo, they die it  [ Read More ]
