“Friends are God’s way of saying ‘sorry’ for your family.” A friend said that to me and I must say I’m truly enamoured of it because it’s so spot-on. I like my friends. I want to expand the list a little, but I’m content with what I’ve got. I think most of ’em I can […]
The recent news about the airplane that went down in the Hudson brought my own mishap to mind. I’ve told a few people but mostly I kept my mouth shut because I was never able to find my proof — I thought it vanished. Today, it appeared. I’ve scanned it and added it to my […]
Today, I found you could link your blog to your Facebook profile in the ‘news’ tab, so I did. I’d like to welcome all the Facebook people who didn’t know I had a blog. Feel free to join the 213,000 people before you that have already been bored to death by my blog. It’s probably […]

Concert Review: As Frey called it, this was the “Assisted Living Tour” and it was funny, though after reading reviews posted elsewhere online, I now realize the entire show down to the jokes were scripted. It didn’t feel scripted, so I don’t care. I think Frey’s funniest comment was that “mother is only half a […]
First, a little bit on the USAir crash into the Hudson. I had mentioned how fascinating the video of the actual crash was and many of my friends said “Video? There’s VIDEO?” There is, indeed a video of the plane gliding in for a perfect landing in the river as well as the ferries coming […]
I made microwave popcorn for breakfast. Thanks to Adrian for that. I dropped some and it got under my chair and now there’s popcorn fluff everywhere. I have to vacuum. Speaking of such things, I am looking for a reliable skating partner. I really need to skate almost every week and not randomly. If any […]
I got fed up today with one particular spammer who just wouldn’t leave me alone (work). Three to four emails per day from a few domains. I got mean, aggressive, and nasty after a few reasonable attempts to stop it. I did research and found the perpetrator. I sent off this email: From: Eric A. […]
