I needed some background noise on the other night as I remodel the living room so that it can accommodate our ever growing book supply. ‘Gone Baby Gone’ was playing. The information screen told me that it is a kidnap murder mystery in the heart of Boston starring Casey Affleck. Casey Affleck? [...]

I believe I have said it before, but I am a big fan of Roger Ebert. He’s a smart guy, even for a lefty and makes considered, well balanced arguments. His movie review site has a blog feature to it and it is there that Ebert throws down on some big issues (typically [...] My son has been going to a Montessori school for most of his student life. This is a local school, starting off very small and gradually growing over the years. In the latest list of Fcat scores The Kid’s school was ranked number one in both math and English. No other school [...] The wife drives a Jetta. A nice little sporty car made by Volkswagen, purchased after her Rav4 was tagged in the rear by a drunk driver. I did my research on Jettas and Volkswagen cars in general. They are fairly well liked but very cringe worthy when they break down. The [...] I’m not a big Dane Cook fan. To me he seems like a repackage of an early 80’s Robin Williams, and like most repackaging jobs done these days he’s half the substance and none of the style. I have fond memories of me as a child watching a zany Robin Williams speak a [...] At least the kid and I do. Or will. Anyway.. First it started with the wife knitting Az a baby Cthulhu which peaked The Kid’s interest. A monster? What kind of monster, from what book, H.P. who? And so it began, the subtle and purposefully slow education of my [...] I don’t know about you, but I was a tad discouraged when I found out that NASA was abandoning the shuttle program and as far as I can tell, any attempts to put man into space for a long time to come. I guess there will still be the International Space Station, but we [...] This is not an exact time line, but you get the point. First there came the french fry redux as BK tried to revamp their fry to taste more like the competition. That didn’t go so well. They followed that with apple sticks and chicken sticks. Personally, I think these are the same products [...] I have been on vacation. Despite somehow having a negative number of readers (scientists are looking into it without actually looking at my blog) I thought it would be safest to not broadcast to the cyber world that I was going to take a vacation. With my luck that would be the one [...] I have returned. Amazing what kind of psychological whirlwind can be sowed from a renewal of faith, a cessation from drinking and the purchase of a video game. Come to find out I often drink to keep the dark thoughts at bay, but I have also drank because it became a habit, also something [...] |
