By noon today, we will be tipping into the falls.

On that idle Tuesday, the newsman announced that Barak Obama had sinched the election.  As millions cheered and other millions sulked, I had a flashback to the 1970's Saturday morning adventure show, The Land of the Lost.

The opening sequence is… Read full post »

Here I sit in a relative's Florida home, still buzzing and ruminating about last night's long-awaited debut of Battlestar Galactica.  The long slogh between seasons has been as difficult and traumatic as the BSG's earthbound voyage itself.  Yet, it is worth every delay and roadblock.

So my wife and I dropped by the mall to get some nice-smelling body wash at Bath and Body Works at the Big Ass Mall.  It's about noon, opening time for all the little retail stores.  The ratcheting sound of security doors rolling upward announce the begginning of their commercial day. … Read full post »

President Obama:

Everyday is a sitcom directed by Dali.  I understood Kebold’s rage, but picked up a pen instead of a Tek-9. I’m angry. I don’t hate anyone. I can’t stand people who don’t discover their inner greatness. I write, podcast and crack jokes. I enjoy joking most. I can be… Read full post »

I've never made New Year's Resolutions.  I consider them a setup for failure.  Yet, I had a teacher who says she wrote her own yearly evaluation. I began doing them in 2007 and would like to keep this tradition up.  It’s a way of reviewing my year and making projections where… Read full post »

The Duggars had their 18th child live on national TV on TLC to the cooing and admiration of millions of 1.8 child households. The coverage of the event, which is only an event because its outside a non-Third World country, put the spotlight on how this loving, almost quaint family survive… Read full post »

When night fell on Prague and I walked through the old medeval quarter, I always felt like some ghoul or vampire will burst from an archway, then drag me away. Drag? A nosferatu would only need to ask. I would have surrendered just to haunt those medieval streets forever.
