The Price is Right’s Bob Barker is retiring.  For real?  Generations of us have watched him as part of our daytime viewing.  Although it’s been awhile since I last watched the show, it just won’t be the same.  Will there still be a Price is Right? I’m not a big Halloween person – it only [...]

We watched Bobby Flay’s Takedown last week on the Food Network, in which each week he has his own private Iron Chef-like dual with people with a particular expertise in a certain dish. He got his butt kicked by Tony Luke’s, who operates cheese steak restaurants in Philly and in New York. He won with [...]

Weird weather in the city. “My Life in Tickets.”  A little essay on MSNBC – and now I’m relieved that I’m not the only one who keeps ticket stubs.  Well, okay, so maybe I’ve a little OCD and I’m a terrible pack rat, but it’s nice that you can review what you’ve done on little [...]

Interesting article on Barack Obama on Slate. The coverage on his (maybe) presidential intentions – well, I’m a fan of his, but I’m on the fence of whether he’s to pursue the presidency in 2008 or not, but the article makes the pro argument fairly well (while still taking into account realities). Got the new [...]

Saturday judged three rounds of moot court. If you’re really into it, judging can be as draining as being up there as a moot court competitor. I didn’t judge the team from our school but they managed to advance to the nationals. The two members of the team work well together, complementing each other. On [...]

That was a nice “How I Met Your Mother” episode on CBS tonight – Lily realizes that her dream job was what she had in the first place: her old job as kindergarten teacher; Ted achieves his dream to become the Youngest Architect in Charge of a Skyscraper Project (Probably), after standing up to his [...]

Study says that chefs don’t count calories when you eat out – of course not!  That’s not their job.  As much as I don’t care for the big portions, the idea is that they give the big portions to convince you that you’re getting your money’s worth of food.  Plus, they want you to feel [...]

Back here ,2 days for work, stayed the weekend and now headed back.  A  bit early at KLIA but is ok.  KLIA has a lot of new things and B-’s shopping and looking around.  Next month, going to be on the road a whole lot more . Trying to take things a lot less fast [...]

OK, now this takes the cake. Somebody’s got a patent for a method of creating a tax shelter. There is a whole list of patents of this type on the US Patent website. Unless it has something to do with recycling a stack of CCH books to make a lean-to, I don’t see how it [...]

And, so it goes: so long to the 2006 season; see you in spring training next year, Mets. Didn’t think you’d make it this far (I never thought it way back in spring training of this year), but my God, you were NL East Champs and got into the playoffs. Sorry you couldn’t get to [...]
