Lazy days are good. Didn't do much of anything today. Got gas and picked up a few things at the grocery store, but other than that, it was cook dinner, make a batch of gingerbread, and set up a political blog called Bullfrog at Townhall.com, not unlike my Blogger Cricket Frog one.
Avoid Bullfrog if you're a flaming liberal, otherwise, check it out. It's already generating traffic. Being hosted and available on Townhall.com helps; within minutes of my adding a sitemeter, people started showing up as having visited. Most blogs there don't generate a lot of comments unless they belong to one of the columnists, but "Ordinary Janes" do get traffic, and get read. I only have one entry there so far, but the audience potential is far greater than Blogger, if I update it fairly regularly, which won't be difficult to do, given all the nonsense in the news about which to comment.
SJ made breakfast--bacon, scrambled eggs, and biscuits, so the least I could do was pick up the emergency item groceries and fix dinner. He's the king of breakfast, although I can make really good Eggs Benedict. We hadn't had pork chops in a long time, and still had half a dozen Red Delicious apples. There's leftover super-hot chili in the fridge, but somehow pork chops and applesauce sounded more appealing. I can't see buying applesauce any more than I can cranberry sauce--they each take 20 minutes, tops, to make from scratch. Mom always bought applesauce, but then again, she also always bought frozen pie crust, and usually made instant mashed potatoes up until I went off to college.
Tacking to a completely different topic, I went from 336.2 million Federation Credits (aka kopeks, for all they're worth) to 512.0 million yesterday at the Spock Market at G4tv.com. That improved my ranking from 889 to 616 among the thousands of registered players. Not bad for three hours worth of watching G4 on cable, and trading Star Trek stock over the internet while the three back-to-back episodes aired. The leader used to have a portfolio ten times the net worth of mine, but now it's a little over seven times mine. I'm playing catch-up with people who have been playing months longer than I, but I'm doing a pretty darn good job of it! SJ is beating me, but his advantage dates back to the days during early Fall when G4 had interactive episodes each weeknight at 6 pm, which it no longer does.
Anyway, goodnight everyone, take care, and have a good week.

Ha! You'll excuse me, my friend, if I don't go to Bullfrog. I don't even go to political blogs I agree with. I hope you get everything you need out of the upcoming season. Even "screaming" conservatives deserve that much. Have a happy!
Of course, Bud. Why do you think I warned you in advance? I'm sure you'd find the idea of Putin forcing Royal Dutch Shell out of its huge investor's stake in a natural gas project in Siberia to be far more acceptable than I do. ;)
