Hmm, very dusty around here…. Well, in the same way that video killed the radio star (and the internet killed the video star), Facebook has totally deep-sixed my need to blog. Ah, our world of instant gratification. Though it’s not as gratifying as it is instant. I certainly am not as addicted as some people [...]
I want you to do something for me. When you drive around your town or beyond, take a minute to notice the memorials. You’ll see them on trees, telephone poles and intersections. Some will be right in front of you and others off to the side – separate. Ribbons, pictures, flowers – to commemorate a [...]
yeah…maybe just a bit cynical… see more funny videos, and check out our Yo Dawg lols!
I sit here waiting for the hurricane to come. It’s early, but the supplies are in and the house is clean and the windows are secure. My wife has been so worried about this thing, we have corned the market on water, batteries and flashlights – like everyone else. The only thing to do now [...]
Face it, folks. President Obama is a eunuch. We voted for a man without an ounce of political savvy and – from here on out – no political capital. I guess folks can stop calling him a “socialist” now. So – where is the Liberal “tea party”?
Let’s talk debt and deficit. Truly a dull, dull subject – no matter what Tea Party members say. Hell, THEY had no interest in it until a black liberal came into office. So why should everyone get so jittery about it now? Why indeed? Deficit spending is not new. There was Federal deficit spending – [...]
Last night I had the most wonderful opportunity of seeing Paul McCartney at Yankee Stadium. Kerry, Christopher and I went with some other family and friends. I have now seen both living Beatles live in concert. I must say it was pretty amazing. A true rock show. AND he didn’t sing more than two songs [...]
You may not have known this about me – but I like to visit graveyards. Really old graveyards. I live in New England after all and there are some VERY old graveyards around. Our family vacations when I was a kid consisted of driving somewhere and camping out. Usually on the drive back, I managed [...]
For my first real vacation since unemployment, I have driven to visit college friends in the upper parts of New England. First for Memorial Day weekend with Deb and her kids in Rockport. Spent a lot of time in Camden, had some great meals, rode a schooner around the harbor and sang karaoke (yes – [...]
Here is a photo of the honkytonks at night, with the Batman-like AT&T building in the background. Welcome to Nashville! I am here at another accountants convention – staying on another compound across the water from the city. However, this compound is near the Grande Ole Opry where we will be spending our final evening [...]
There’s a little more than three weeks left before the Rapture (May 21st). What is everyone wearing? Glad this whole Birther thing is over. Now we can really focus on Charlie Sheen. What happened to Prince William’s hair? Tripped over my dog this week. I think he broke my knee. It’s one thing when a [...]
It’s Saturday – a one day lull between this weekend’s funerals. This fine Spring weekend is bracketed by funerals, Friday and Monday. Yesterday’s was the hard one. We said goodbye to Seth, an energetic young man of 26. He was the son of a friend of ours and brother to Christopher’s best friend, Bart. There [...]
Yes – it’s April. And it’s snowing. A snowy, cold, raw, wet April Fool’s Friday! I sense there will be drinking with lunch. And Gorky has entered it’s fifth year. I’m not quite sure how much farther I can go. I really should be, you know, Writing Something. And it’s been harder and harder to [...]
For some reason, the New York Times does not have a weird news or just “WTF” section of the paper. I don’t know why. It doesn’t take long for me to find four or five articles that just leave you shaking your head in disbelief. This morning was no exception. There was an article about [...]
