  • Battlestar Returns - September 28th, 2007
  •  SciFi’s Battlestar Galactica returns November 24 at 9PM … So say we all!

    Some (like me) will remember Edward James Olmos in another life, as Lt. Martin Castillo on Miami Vice. In that role, he was the calm, cool, collected and calculating officer in charge of Miami’s vice squad, which included Don Johnson’s “Sonny” Crockett and [...]

  • The Belt Means Nothing - September 28th, 2007
  • For those of you who have been wondering … the collection of rune symbols on my belt says absolutely nothing. If I use alphabetic translations, no words emerge. If I use symbolic translations, it’s utter gibberish. I guess it just looked good to the artist who made the belt.
    That said, I found a really neat [...]

  • BEACH - September 21st, 2007
  • Today’s Photo Friday theme is “Beach.”
    I haven’t posted a photo meme picture in quite some time. There hasn’t been time or inclination or something. However, today’s theme just sorta fit. We’re headed out to the beach this weekend, and I happen to have a couple of pictures from our last visit handy. So, here they [...]

  • Where Have All the Leaders Gone? - September 18th, 2007
  • via e-mail
    This came across me e-mail some time back, and I’ve finally had time to read it. It’s pretty darned good, so, I’m copying it onto the site. If you want more, go get the book.

    Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? [...]

  • Didja Miss ME? - September 17th, 2007
  • I thought not.
    One thing that does not instill confidence when traveling on airplanes — a pilot who comes on board whistling the chorus from Ring of Fire.
    At least I got the a seat in the emergency exit row…
    I spent the weekend in Ft. Myers, Florida, doing some consulting work for a new club-jazz band down [...]

  • Choices - September 12th, 2007
  • Got some lab results today.  Slightly elevated bad cholesterol, slightly elevated blood pressure, low iron, and instructions from the doctor to go on: 1.  A DIET!  (who does he think he is, huh??? i’m barely overweight and have lost 7-8lbs in the past six weeks–without even trying, that’s the good part)  2.  A LOW-SALT DIET  3. [...]

  • Well, Now, That’s Xciting! - September 12th, 2007
  • Those who have been keeping up will remember that I mentioned yesterday that I thought that a look at the Kymco Xciting 500 maxi-scooter might be in order. Today, I trundled out to MotoStrada in Timonium to have a look, and to park my butt on the machine.
    The Xciting 500 seems to have the utility [...]

  • more social commentary - September 12th, 2007
  • more social commentary: with 15 quakes & almost 8000 dead in Indonesia over the past not-quite-three years, how is it that Britney’s recent performance rates ANY attention at ALL??? 
    p.s. no, i DIDN’t watch it, but i did watch in disbelief as a local a.m. ’news’caster spent three minutes decrying Spears’ reported lack of enthusiasm — as [...]
