• Jon Stewart should STAY funny

    Here’s some excerpts from a New York Times article: IS Jon Stewart being coy? In a recent dust-up with Tucker Carlson on CNN’s “Crossfire,” Mr. Stewart defended a soft interview he conducted with John Kerry. He wasn’t a commentator on CNN, like Mr. Carlson, he said, but a host on “The Daily Show,” which is…

  • Damn Yankees and the Grassy Knoll

    OK, the Red Sox won, and honestly, they deserved to win. They played better, especially in the endgame parts of the past few games. Also, Schilling was a warrior of epic proportions last night. I’m not really that upset. I’m mostly tired, and glad that I’m not compelled to stay up and watch FOX for…

  • Crazy Ball games

    Well, it’s Monday morning and I have no idea how last night’s Yankee/Sox clinching game went. I know it was 4-4, and I know it was in the 12th inning at Fenway, but I just couldn’t stay up. It was past 1 AM and I just couldn’t deal anymore, so, with Tivo (or the cable…

  • Gibson blogging?

    I’ve been looking forward to one of my favorite authors to resume his blogging, William Gibson. When I read on Neil Gaiman’s blog that “Bill” Gibson had started again, I was very excited. Having read everything “Bill” had written, I was looking forward to the clever, cutting edge thought that I had come to know…

  • The Cat…didn’t come back.

    With heavy heart, I have to report that, after hearing the doctor’s diagnosis of severe kidney problems and imminent renal failure, we brought Angel back to the woman we adoped her from for whatever disposition she’s going to do. We were all very sad today. The kids did not get the real story. For better…

  • Current Score

    Angel the Cat: 2 Mice: 0 Who knew we had so many mice? I’ve never seen any signs of mice, so they must be coming in from outside, but Angel makes quick work of them. And she drops them in the same place for me to find, and makes the same, very specific, meow. I…

  • Rip it out! Cut it out! Out out out!

    Tuesday, October 12th, for anyone who is interested, I’m getting several things removed–My tonsils and my uvula. That’s UVULA. That little thing that hangs down from the back of your throat. I can save them for anyone who wants them… Supposedly, this will help my out with my apnea. I hope so. Supposedly, also, it…

  • There WAS a mouse!

    Last night, an extraordinary thing happened in our house. This thing is in extraordinary in the sense of “this has never happened to anyone before in all of creation.” However, it IS extraordinary in that this thing has never happened to anyone in this house before, at least, not that I know of. We were…
