Friday night – went to see Mets v. Dodgers at Shea.  Umm, no, not a great games (Mets lost).  Mets won Saturday, but lost today, so I believe the magic number to clinch for the playoffs remain at 5. Watched most of the House season premiere.  Hmm.  House is insane, we know that, right? Star [...]

Huge 2 incher fell into the toilet bowl a few days ago. I couldn’t flush him down, somehow the bugger was able to hang on the side of the bowl. So I just left him in there to give me an opening… then yesterday, he did just that. He wandered to the far side and [...]

Australia’s Steve Irwin laid to rest today in private. What will the institutions that he has built remain? What will Animal Planet do to replace the person who served in the role that Emeril Lagasse performs as the anchor for the Food Network? Ok, he was a little cocky and full of Australian character, but [...]

What an amazing story with the board intrigue… what kind of water are those folks drinking out there? Crazy stuff. Meanwhile , back at the ranch, I’ve got my own battles with our internal IT services group. It’s been a lot of deja vu, staying up late at night, early morning, fire fighting, trying to [...]

Comic strip commentary: the latest Mary Worth – Mary takes her presumed stalker Aldo into her apartment to make it clear why she doesn’t want him to stalk her anymore. Now you, me and the rest of the normal world would say: “Mary, what the heck is wrong with you? You don’t let a stalker, [...]

More updates to my little website. Change on the fiction page – a new vignette. Some changes on the links page. Hopefully the little graphic there actually pops up. US Open: Agassi v. Becker game – Benjamin Becker, no relation to Boris. Umm, I know everyone’s for Agassi, but Dick Enberg on CBS sounded a [...]

Spent most of today drifting in and out of consciousness. Guess I was that tired. When I was awake, I ended up watching way much of the Andre Agassi marathon on CBS, since they were airing it due to the rainout of the US Open. Tribute to Agassi indeed. The remnants of Tropical Storm/Hurricane Ernesto [...]

Interesting article. Apparently food safety regulators are concerned about how Asian people in America store Asian food: Two Asian delicacies are the subject of a simmering debate pitting merchants who like to store them at room temperature for hours against food safety regulators who worry the practice could allow bacteria to build up. One is [...]

P got tickets yesterday for Monty Python’s Spamalot. I haven’t been to the theater for a long while, and I love musicals, so it was an especial treat. Also, it’s generally based, but something completely different from the movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was a bit more like Monty Python Forbidden Broadway, [...]
