Elton John’s Red Piano: The Review

Red Piano. Yay. I’ve wanted to see Elton’s Red Piano show since it opened but Elton never checked his schedule with mine and every chance I ever had to be in Vegas, Elton was elsewhere. I usually missed him by just a few days. Finally, courtesy of Greg and Gaby, we had tickets for the […]

The Murphy Post: It’s all His Fault (plus Nation Book Review)

First, my original flight was cancelled months ago, so I was re-booked on the afternoon flight. I e-mailed the legendary media-whore and American Airlines pilot VanMurph and told him he should arrange to fly my flight. It’s too bad he didn’t because I had a surprise for him. I had a copy of the article […]

Just More Stuff

A few people have asked about my jokes list. If you’re not on it, it’s here. I will warn you that at some point you will be offended and your complaint about it will fall on deaf ears. My elliptical exercise machine arrived today. My exercise bike is now redundant. I will begin using it […]

Some Thoughts

The Beatles’ song is still in my head, “Beep, beep, yeah!” for reasons I shan’t share, but will continue to tease you all with. It occurred to me today that many of you enjoy my political postings, though maybe you don’t agree.   I gave money to the Obama campaign recently. As some polls show […]

200,000 Hits! Post 509.

Today marks a special day in my blog. We have recorded not long ago our 200,000th hit. And to be clear, my personal hits are specifically excluded by the tracking software 🙂 I want to thank my loyal readers, though few in number, a lot of those are your repeated hits reading my entries. I […]

Call Me Paranoid

Call me paranoid, but I am greatly concerned about this upcoming election. I see a number of scenarios in which the Republican Party tries to steal the election. I don’t believe it’ll be McCain’s doing because he’s not an evil man, though his running mate is an evil woman. I see possibilities for massive voter […]

Medical Update Addendum

I am in the final stages of preparing my documentation for the hiring of an attorney. I got a copy of the “Final Interpretive Results” from the hospital (not the one my doctor did). The stuff not listed seems okay. So I won’t bore you with it. At the C3-c4 and c4-c5 juncture, there is […]

Random Stuff From a Cluttered Mind

First, <no idea what was here. It’s lost to posterity.> Second, I must write a half-book review. Half-book? Year, the book was so uninteresting I didn’t finish. I tried three times to wade through the muck and give it one last chance, but it just wasn’t good. I wanted it to be good. But it […]
