Today’s Recap: Boating Incident, BBQ, and such

Today started off typically. I woke up after a restless night with little sleep (though more than normal) and did my usual morning stuff before heading off to breakfast at Romeau’s which was okay. After which I went skating (today with Evan, John, Liz, Shane) at Pines. Backstory: I had promised Karen I would try […]

Abbey Road: A True Rarity

This is a true rarity and a piece of music history. This is perhaps one of the most unique pieces of Beatles memorabilia known. (After you read here, click on the photo for a larger and better version that is annotated.) There were six photos taken for the cover of Abbey Road. This is the […]

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. […]
