One of my vices (in addition to knives and other weapons) is books.  It’s a vice that both Himself and I share, which is why we’ve had to turn an entire room into a library.  I’ve been on subsistence-reading, re-reading stuff I had but then we went to the bookstore last night.  As much as… Continue reading

  Gee, I wish I got paid the big bucks that some of these morons do.  Mark Sanner, a marketing guy for non-profits, did an analysis as to the waning popularity of ‘Earth Hour’ and blamed it on it ‘losing its novelty’ (via Big Government–which, by the way, is apparently blocked by the state of… Continue reading

Okay it’s a couple of months late, but January 20 was astronaut Buzz Aldrin’s 81st birthday.  The second man to walk on the moon and the first to have spacewalked.  Read more about him here. Continue reading

Sorry I haven’t blogged, but had a very full weekend. On Saturday, I went with Himself, Og, and Parner to the Funshow/Gunshow. We had bacon (or BaKhaaannn) and biscuits so fluffy they would have floated off the table if not for the sausage gravy holding them down. When Og took his first bite of bacon,… Continue reading

I got into a discussion on Facebook with a liberal friend of mine regarding high speed rail.  He had posted a link to an article wherein it was stated that the tea partier folks were patsies and puppets of the oil industry and the Koch brothers because of some tenuous link between a group to… Continue reading

Sometimes Himself really spoils me.  Usually Tuesday night at our place is pizza.  But last night, as we were discussing dinner and the fact that the one place that delivers just isn’t up to standards anymore, he states that we had some hamburger in the fridge and decides out of the blue to make homemade… Continue reading

Elizabeth Taylor, the epitome of all that was right and wrong and glamorous in Hollywood, died today at age 79. Edited: Deleted second clip and put in a link to the ending of The Taming of the Shrew: Continue reading
