What am I doing?
So what would you guess I’m doing right now? Reading about the Dallas Stars, post-draft, new coaching staff & salary cap. Reading a great Lifehacker article about spending money. Reading a great Lifehacker article about Facebook notifications. Reading a great Lifehacker article about an app that reminds you to take a break, refocus (literally) and […]
30-second sarcasm break
“The Brink literally grabs the reader by the throat and doesn’t let go until the final page.” – film producer Don Phillips. “Film producer Don Phillips needs to look up the word literally.” – Me. A few days ago, I walked into Wildwood Grill by myself and the hostess asked if I was meeting “another […]
A Hockey Post: What Does the NHL Really Hate?
If you’re a hockey fan, you know that the NHL has been all up in arms the last year or so about certain hits. More and more players are suffering serious injuries, especially concussions. The final straw, apparently, came this past season when St. Sid was knocked out of the Penguins’ lineup for several months […]
June is for dabbling
Some people change things up in the summer because their schedules change. Teachers, for example, or the millions of households with children. They sleep late, do more things just for fun, have a more flexible schedule than during the school year. Since I’m not a teacher and don’t have kids, that doesn’t really apply to […]
On this day in history…
Johnny Weissmuller was born. (He was Tarzan.) So were Dana Carvey, Stacy Keach, Jerry Mathers, Sally Kellerman & the Marquis de Sade. (Well, everybody has a birthday, after all.) Queen Elizabeth II was crowned. Timothy McVeigh was found guilty of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168. Lou Gehrig died. So did Leslie Howard […]
Memorial Day
It would take someone much more eloquent than me to properly express the thanks that we, as a nation, owe to everyone who serves and has served. So, because I don’t think I can say it all, I’ll just say…thanks. Thanks to all of you who went through the tough training, and all you who […]
Complaints
I hate it when people complain! My friend Joe used to say that, until one of his young sons pointed out that statement itself is a complaint. I happen to agree with Joe, but here I go, blissfully ignoring that fact. I don’t mean to complain and all*, but… I really hate website pages with […]
Quick ham update (and not a single Rapture reference)
The Dayton Cowboys survived Hamvention. I don’t know how wild and crazy they got, but a sewer line did break, flooding part of the flea market. I’m not pointing any fingers, you understand. They’ll be at the Air Force Museum tomorrow morning, then start back to DFW. I expect some stories. Rich emailed that he […]
The Dayton Cowboys hit the road
I have a couple of meaningful and, you know, deep posts I’ve started writing, but it’s going to be a few days before I can finish them. I’ve been and will be pretty busy these couple of days. Besides my on-going job of volunteering for the Chamber, I’ve had extra cleaning and organizing to get […]
Rain vs. bladder
I was on my way to deliver a print job a little while ago when it started pouring down rain. Since it seemed like hauling cardboard boxes of (expensively printed) paper out of my trunk in the middle of a deluge might not be the best idea ever, and since I was very near Southlake […]
