Hey, Trump!
Hey, Trump! Just last Sunday when talking about the developing health care legislation you said, "Pre-existing conditions are in the bill. And I mandate it. I said, 'Has to be.'" And later, you said "We actually have--we actually have a... Continue reading

The Empty Page
Big empty blog sheet. Toughest thing is finding something to write about that's both interesting to READ as well as to WRITE. Ugh. Politics twists my nipples. Apparently it envenoms the bloodstream. Music? My taste is all over the place,... Continue reading

These days, Black Friday traffic in the morning hours is non-existent. Example: Baltimore Pike. Baltimore Pike traffic on any given Saturday morning is heavy. It's faster to park your car at the K-Mart and walk westbound to Oak Avenue, any... Continue reading

The Paper Towel Reduction Act of 2011*
I am a price tracker. It's a bad habit to get into, because basically it's a time-waster. It feeds into another bad habit: feeling screwed at the market. It works like this: We use Bounty paper towels. Prints, full-size sheets.... Continue reading

Commented Nov 24, 2013 on Grilling I: Bringin Home the Char-Broil at House of Jorob
Grilling I: Bringin Home the Char-Broil
I bought my grille at Lowes. It's a Char-Broil. Two burner thing, didn't cost me a hundred bucks. I figure if I still suck at this after a year, I'm not out that much money. The adventure started when I tried to take the thing home. Lowes offered to put the thing together for me. If I wanted to ...

When 38 Studios ploughed into the earth last month, site Gamasutra had what I feel is the most comprehensive detail on the collapse. A finely detailed piece was released June 1, and is here: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/169444/38_Studios_Downfall_The_Gamasutra_Report.php . But to truly understand,... Continue reading

Autism ratios reach 1 in 88 children. Is this OMG or WTF?
The CDC is reporting( http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss6103a1.htm?s_cid=ss6103a1_w ) a newer, really scary increase in the number of kids affected with Autism. At least, that's what I think the headlines and PSAs are going to start saying sometime soon. (There's a string of... Continue reading

Jamming With Edward!
When I was younger--I was something like 12 or 13--I had a cassette copy of "Jamming With Edward!", an album featuring Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman, Ry Cooder, Charlie Watts, and Nicky Hopkins. That cassette had some of the kickingest piano... Continue reading

Tebow, Prayer, and Who Is Listening?
"We should set aside the notion that if we pray, we'll get what we want. That is a false notion of religion." http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2012/01/09/did-praying-to-john-316-really-help-tim-tebow-win/ Continue reading

Phillies Wreckage
Ryan Howard crumpled in the base path, 10 feet up the line. That image will represent the entire season, in my mind. Cliff Lee blows 4-0 lead in game 2, and the Cardinals never looked back. <sigh> For this, I'm... Continue reading

Opportunity Extended
"Mars," said Wallace. I set my scotch on the endtable. I used a coaster. "They put a Roomba up there. Named Opportunity..." I waited. "...Designed for a three-month look at the rocks." I eyed my neat scotch. Why the hell... Continue reading

Electricity Choice: I Left PECO For Another

The Agony of Un-Friending
