I can't decide if this is better or worse than him filming women dropping a deuce at his club/house/restaurant/swinger compound. I can't really remember where it was he filmed them, I just remember he liked to watch 'em poo. more »

I had to dig through the crates to find out what the last thing we did with Robert (and I wrote about) might have been. Other than the two year anniversary, the last thing I wrote about was the air show at Scott Air Force base. That was a long time ago… more »

Someone said it was a buyers market. As it turned out, we had planned ahead and scheduled a day of house hunting the Saturday following Thanksgiving. Even without a contract on the house, we felt like it was time to actually walk into a few houses an… more »

Normally I wouldn't care anything about this but the coincidence is just too weird. One of the business partners I'm traveling with is actually a graduate of New Jersey Institute of Technology. Just today at lunch he was talking about how his alma mate… more »

I'm in San Jose this week and realize that the HP Pavilion is a short 6 blocks away. On a whim I mention hockey to some of my travel partners and one of them scores 2nd row tickets behind the Vancouver bench. Pricey, but great seats for sure. (Thanks… more »

We have way too much crap. How did we acquire so much crap? Don't ask me. I have no idea. In most cases people who move call a full service moving company to pack, load, move, and unload their collection of poop. We didn't have that luxury. What… more »

The last of the true flat bottom sternwheelers. Yes, there are others, but none have the history of The Delta Queen. I remember getting to tour it a couple of times when I was a kid and I remember how shiny and clean it was inside. Years later I would… more »

I couldn’t possibly afford all the music I’d like to listen to in any given year so I only rank the stuff I bought. Here’s my top 20 which is heavily weighted toward the stuff early in the year. Yes, I’m aware The Cure and about 50 other good releases… more »

All those dreams about how much money we were making from owning a house suddenly evaporated just as we were about to put it on the market. I put the blame squarely on Dubya and anyone who voted for him. We put a fair amount of money into upgrading the… more »

OK, technically I planned on starting back January 1st. That didn't pan out. It's not a good start is it? Good thing it isn't my New Year's resolution because I would have broken it the first day. My New Year's resolution is the same one I do every y… more »
