You may remember a previous post about AT&T U-verse service. In the comments, I praised Nancy the tech who called to try and help. She ultimately failed but took notes on some of the things I discovered. Turns out, one of the theories that the problem lies between BellSouth and AT&T (actually being run by […]
The below image is from the Gallup Poll organization. Someone emailed this to me, and I don’t remember who did. First, thanks to whomever that is 🙂 First, my views:Divorce: AcceptableGambling: AcceptableDeath Penalty: WrongStem Cells: AcceptableUnmarried Sex: Acceptable Medical testing on Animals: Acceptable, for medical purposes only. I keep changing my mind on this. I […]
Well it was going to be a big day out: Erin, Evan, Brenda, their two kids, The Higgi (4), and Tara (3), Karen, and Steve (2), plus me. Karen cancelled due to mother issues, Tara didn’t show for reasons unknown, and Erin had ambulatory issues (though she did join us after). I wasn’t expecting a […]
I saw it today. I wasn’t looking forward to it based on the original previews but everyone said it was awesome. I finally saw it today with Adrian after our traditional breakfast at La Carreta* and ice skating. So it was entertaining, a summer pot-boiler if you will. I was also excited to see the […]
Okay, it’s time for my third annual “Why I want to own a Casino” post. We’re going to pick Las Vegas Sands (Venetian LV/Macau, Sands Macau and coming soon Singapore) for fun this time. Sometimes talking about mind boggling numbers is fun. These numbers come right from the 10K so it’s just a matter of […]
I finished Spud, a book by John van de Ruit, earlier this evening. This is not the sort of book I’d pick out but a number of people who liked the legendary Youth in Revolt also liked this book. So I gave it a shot. This book actually has some similarities to Youth In Revolt. […]
had the long awaited and thrice postponed meeting with Michael Yormark, COO at the Panthers. I had all sorts of expectations about who he was and how he might act based on my previous interactions with him, what I’ve read, and what I’ve heard about him. This morning I got a call at the office […]
Flew up CO and we boarded on time, sat on the tarmac for twenty for an engine check, and were off after that. Arrived twenty late due to late departure, but we had an unusual flight path right near Disney, so had a nice view of everything. Pilot was like twelve years old and that […]
ITEM ONE INCLUDES SPOILERS!I watched the season finale of Lost last night — three hours worth. The recap filled in some holes, though it bothers me that the holes are big enough to require filling in. If Ben decided that he needed to kill Locke after just saving him only to change his mind upon […]
First, the Head Parrothead (Jimmy Buffett) has just had Dolphin Stadium renamed to Landshark Stadium (I like the name) after his beer, Landshark Beer in exchange for no money. They get personal appearances, etc, by his parrotness. He also re-did his famous song Fins with Dolphin lyrics. Thanks to Razzie for the URL to the […]
