Rants

I refuse to command my dog to "lay down."

I will not patron any fast food establishment that uses the spurious adverb "melty" in ad campaigns.

Why are "entertainment centers" never designed to hold books? They have slots for a big screen, a slew of DVDs and game consoles, picture frames and pretty candles. But the shelves are never suited for books. To some, the written word is still entertainment.
