Today’s Collection Of Commentary and Foodstuffs

I am tired. Really tired. First, this awesome article on The Beatles and what today’s kids think of them, from a reporter with the London Times. I can’t remember which friend provided this, but I like it. Yeah, the Beatles are cool generation after generation. Second, this video is from Jose’s Facebook page: (Link gone […]

A Post of No Consequence

Season opener of House was so-so. I liked his interaction with the doctor, and I liked the characters, but nothing happened. This was an atypical episode and when I watch a doctor show, I want to see some doctoring, House style. A happy House creeps me out and I am sure it can’t last. This […]

Not Much Of Anything

I have a headache for reasons unknown. The season premiere of House is tonight. I have scheduled my root canal for the 29th (visit one) with two more visits to follow. I am sure you all know how much I am looking forward to that. I hope WJM is doing well. I have no news […]

National Anthems And Such — Patriotic Music

I got in an argument today with someone over this song, which all of my US readers know as My Country Tis of Thee though the proper title is America. The person claimed that this song is an American song. The lyrics are, indeed, American. But the melody, and therefore the song, are not American. […]

The Ultimate Irony

In what may be either the ultimate in irony or something totally prescient when I left temple today and started my car, the song playing on the radio was “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC. Because this was so amazing to me, I had to make a rare second post on the same day. And as […]

Seven Hundred Posts*….

… but there will be no celebration today. WJM: you damn well better pull through. I’ll kill you if you don’t. I will come after you. I’m angry with you. We had a deal. (But I’m still sending happy, healing thoughts your way.) Hockey season is upon us as season ticket booklets have arrived. I […]

Recap Of Health Stuff (Public Version)

If you’re a fan of Queen or South Park or Hockey, you’ll love this clip. Unless you’re from Detroit in which case you might not like it quite so much. There’s much to love in this 2m23s clip. If that doesn’t amuse you, here’s another laugh for my readers: Naked banana sex cult leader flees […]

Book Review and Doctor Review

Today my father asked me to find out if a doctor was any good on the Internet. I tried to explain it didn’t quite work like that, but it was over his head. So, I poked around and found this site which I rather liked. I looked up all of my doctors and reviewed them. […]

Today’s Report….

Sleep still eludes me, but hopefully a solution to that is forthcoming. It’s been about two months since I’ve slept through the night and it is taking its toll on me. Blech. Enough about that in this blog. I read the final book “Myth Alliances” in the Myth series by Robert Apsrin. He died earlier […]

Purple Vans, Purple Vans (Apologies to Prince) + Movie Review, Etc

Paul: My thoughts are with you. I hope it all works out okay.  You all wanted to see the shoes. Some of you whom I saw this weekend saw them in person. The rest will have to see this photo. If you click on the photo, you’ll go the Flickr page which has a bonus […]
