Triscribe

(credit to Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for “So Long and Thanks for All the Fish“) A Happy Anniversary to Triscribe, as we get all excited about an exciting future. Or, at least, notwithstanding the unfortunate state of the economy, we’re living in some interesting times… NY Times’ Edward Rothstein on [...]

Last night P- got me tickets to see Xanadu the musical as an advanced birthday present, as the show is closing this weekend. I got to see the talented Kerry Butler, who I actually knew in high school – she was the lead in all of our high school musicals when I was on the [...]

The tv people have to make up for last season’s strike reduced season. So, I’ve had some viewings and there was the big premiere (or as Time’s tv critic James Poniewozik puts it: “the best tv show of the fall”): the first of the Presidential debates!!! I’ll leave it to the professional pundits and talking [...]

A long post to recap on the Chicago trip with the siblings. The weekend of the remnants of Hurricane Ike: Flooded ‘burbs and their flooded roads made for scary moments (to me, but maybe not to my driver-sibling); certainly made it harder to drive around with no clear detours. (or, at least it seemed strange [...]

In Chicago for a vacation until Wednesday. I still want a really great staycation, but this will have to do. FC had done the Chicago deep dish (okay, “stuffed”) pizza and the Amazing Race-like escapade. Can’t say that my siblings and I had any Amazing Race; it was mostly smooth, but for weather-related delay, thanks [...]

That’s the key word… I dropped by on my Saturday day off and found so much change on this site! I think it’s good… but nowadays I don’t know what change is good or bad. Change is… just change. B- is out today in her cooking class and she’s come up with some great recipes [...]

Some past thoughts. NY Times’ David W. Dunlap on memory and imagery, and the Tower of Lights’ dress rehearsal. Even as I’m never quite sure where I stand on the re-building process, I’m of the view that the Tower of Lights are the best kind of tribute.

CERN launches world’s largest particle collider As SSW mentioned, there was some hysterics that a mistake could cause a mini black hole and end civilization as we know it. But thankfully that did not come to pass – it only made two dots on a CRT screen. Season opener of Sarah Connor Chronicles – AWESOME! [...]

So, Tropical Storm Hannah went up the eastern sea board. We had humidity. And, rain. Lots of rain. More people watched the RNC than the DNC on tv? Ok, fine, you had the curiosity factor going, since people were still going, “Sarah Who?” about the Palin as VP choice and maybe people were still in [...]

RIP Don LaFontaine. Discipline, commitment, excellence. If I had a choice to be known as the American President or unknown as the movie voice of God Himself “in a world where both of our cars are underwater”, I know who I’d want to be. GEICO Commercial 5 Voiceover guys in a limo
