RECENT POSTS: Bernice reminds all of tonight's LWV forum.  Olddoc will work with quirky Dragon for a later post, wryly previewed last night's GOP debate; my headline 'rotator cup' is corrected (as reader Dr. Ted Turner pointed out, that's rotator CUFF, not 'cup' -- DD). Maria was at School Board last night, we may see a post later. Without even a Mae West, Jackie, at Jackie's TV Blog, has jumped into the deep end of the new Blogger pool! Time for my belly flop?
