I leave for Dallas in a little over 24 hours. I'm more excited about this trip than I have been about many of my previous journeys to Texas because the guys I am visiting really seem to be excited by...
I keep on breaking my own rule about not posting entire articles here, but this one is, well, note-worthy (from the NY Times {see if you can catch Ms. Garofalo's quote on the air and then her quote about liberals...
I "unsubscribed" myself from an ongoing e-mail thread last night. It was the usual left\right kind of thing, but I found myself making some pretty personal attacks after my main antagonist remarked that I reminded her of her 8-year old...
I'm burning music CDs as I write this. You might not think this is a big deal, and normally you'd be right. But this music is different, for it will be packed away in my suitcase and taken to Dallas...
Kelli and I went to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind last night. I had been looking forward to seeing the film because the concept seemed original. However, to quote Kelli, it made a better concept than it did...

John Kerry is at it again, this time referring to a Secret Service agent as a "son of a bitch". Well, well, Senator, let's see here: U.S. Senator publicly profanes someone sworn to defend him PERSONALLY.....I think that moves you...
When I was a Senior in high school, I found out something about an ex-girlfriend that really threw me for a loop. What made things worse was the fact that I had dug and dug and dug for the information...
I've been a little grumpy lately and, until this morning, I had no idea why. I have been working days for a month now; that's plenty of time to get used to the idea of getting up at 5:30AM. But...
The first Porsche was shown off at the Geneva International Auto Show today in 1949. Ferdinand Porsche, the man behind the name, had served two years in prison after the Second World War for helping the German war machine (he...
