The thoughts & Musings of Christopher F. Reidy*
PRE-NOTE NOTE: I assume that most images on the web are "fair use." I will try my best to credit artists, writers, photographers etc. when I use material that is not mine. If I receive notification to remove any material I have used improperly, well, then, I certainly will!
NOTE: Apparently this webpage has some glitches. It tends to randomly switch out visual material. Why? Don't ask me. So, if a pic doesn't match the text...it doesn't! Rest assured I am trying to amend this problem. When I get around to it.
*(may contain misuse of apostrophes, miss spellings, overabundance of semi-colons, wrong word usage, MAJOR AMOUNT OF UNFOOTNOTED ASTERISKS, UNCLOSED PARENTHESES AND UNCLOSED QUOTATION MARKS, etc.
I will make every attempt to correct mistakes if and when they come to my attention.
ALSO:
Please find an in-complete (or if you prefer; "ongoing") index of blog posts on the homepage, for your convenience!
AND YET ANOTHER NOTE:
The visual switcheroos on these blogs have reached a point where there's no way I can correct them all, so I'm just going to leave them be. (Actually, I am now slowly working on this!) If they don't match the text, just think of them as whimsical funsies decorating the text. I will continue to supply pictures; but I cannot guarantee their context: much like my mind.
Thank you for your patience!
A FURTHER NOTE:
I try to keep this website relatively free of anything truly morally reprehensible or obscene. However, in the pursuit of honesty; I will be quite frank about sexuality; as I feel one should be. To wit: this website is not for children. It is decidedly "adult"; although not necessarily not "childish." I do not feel it is suitable, in some instances, for anyone below the age of 17. Or maybe a very mature 16...or 15 even.
THIS WEBSITE IS RATED: PG-15
I suppose this site is NSFW in some cases; and in that case, I would say it is up to the viewer to determine that. I will supply extra warning if I think something might be a bit too ribald for The Great American Office.

She is, of course, Abby Phillip. I discovered her CNN show NewsNight fairly recently. I'm not super into political-talking head-pundits on parade-current event type shows and ususally just channel surf right over them. But I would find myself stopping if I saw her on screen. She just seems to cut through all the bullshit by simply being authentic. Truly. And I know that word gets thrown around a lot; but in her case it's true. Authentic. Also kind, considerate, even-tempered, engaged, empathetic, considerate and actually honest. She walks softly and doesn't need to carry a big stick. Her big stick is being REAL. So, no surprise she's a Sagittarius. Born November 25th. Let's see what the Interweb says about that date's persona, shall we? I think HAL 9000 totes dropped the ball with the "undiplomatic, impatient" thing. I think these are Ms. Phillip's strongest suits. I mean, with all the LOUDMOUTHS she has on her show in the name of varying Points of View; with them all talking over one another because they can't wait to hear their own voices; I would say her diplomacy and patience is nothing less than miraculous. Other than her restraint in keeping herself from cold-cocking this dipstick and his RESTING SMUG FACE: Dude makes my GAYDAR go off. I loved it when this happened: Mr. Hogg puts me in mind of the bust of Nefertiti: Just an observation. Although both the bust and Mr. Hogg and Ms. Phillip share a kind of serene commonality...
So thank you Abby, for your calm and equanimity and bringing a little sanity to our current insane asylum. CFR 12/28/25
