Just got a memo from office services letting us know that although our building used to use the same elevator maintenance contractor that was involved in the horrible accident last week, we don't anymore and our elevators are perfectly safe.

You mean the same maintenance company that was working on the elevator a few hours before the accident? Yikes!

I had a breakfast party and now I have staff meeting, sorry!!

I was delivering the spare tire to S., who got a flat (i.e. shredded) halfway to work. He took the spare out last week when he went to get the Christmas tree, and never put it back in.

Need more caffeine now please.

So I take it we are supposed to use stairs so we won't have fat babies or something.

North Korea's new dictator is reportedly a big comic book geek.

It looks like the Jewish Week took this article off their website after people complained, but a rabbi wrote an article about Tim Tebow that may be one of the most paranoid things I've ever read.

"If Tebow wins the Super Bowl, against all odds, it will buoy his faithful, and emboldened faithful can do insane things, like burning mosques, bashing gays and indiscriminately banishing immigrants."

He then goes on to suggest that, while he has advanced degrees in theology and knows how to resist missionaries, other Jews who don't have those advanced degrees might be susceptible to believing that a Broncos Super Bowl win is miraculous, and thus converting to Christianity under the "new gospel of Tim."
