They both love Justin Bieber! Doug heard about this yesterday and found it hard to believe, so he called me. I looked into the story. It’s true. When Brazilian police raided the enclave of Pezao, a noted drug trafficker in Rio De Janerio, they found 10 tons of marijuana and an arsenal of weapons; one …(Read More)

Once ago in a magical land far, far away there was a princess. She was a beautiful young thing with only one chin and breasts that pointed skyward towards the heavens. She wore the swimsuit you see on the right. Of course she didn’t actually swim in that suit. Instead she just laid about out …(Read More)
As I mentioned recently the first cold front of the season come through Houston a couple of days ago. It was much cooler, to be sure. However, it was still about 45 degrees outside, so it wasn’t really cold. Well things have changed since then. It was cold when I got up Saturday morning. And …(Read More)
Last night was our big Thanksgiving meal at Evelyn’s house. We’ve taken to having it on Friday instead of Thursday so it can be quite the grand affair. In addition to our family members, over the past few years the fete has grown to include a number of friends as well as family. And here’s …(Read More)
Doug had good intentions. He was going to get up early and go get one of the new unbelievably inexpensive and somewhat simplistic laptops featured as a Black Friday deal at our local big box store.

My good friend Mother Connie always seems to know when I need her and comes through with some really funny stuff. Today is no exception. The older I get, the more I embrace the ideals set forth …(Read More)
It’s the day before Thanksgiving and I can’t help but recall a Thanksgiving from 40 years ago. It still seems strange that my mom is gone. Of course it’s only been just over 1 year. Thanksgiving was her holiday, much more so than Christmas. Everyone has Thanksgiving memories from their youth. I have fond memories …(Read More)
Since my laptop is still away at the Toshiba mothership, the launch of our new site has really been delayed. I’m bummed, but things are out of my control; so there’s not point in being upset. I sure wish I lived in California right now though. I would be camped out right there, waiting. Years …(Read More)
Yes, the curse continues and I don’t mean my period. I finally got through to the Toshiba mothership today. My laptop is being looked at today. Finally. I should’ve had it back last Friday. But at least it’s being looked at so I was told. It better be. In the meantime I’ve been limping about …(Read More)
As everyone knows by now, usually I am just a font of scientific knowledge. A veritable cornucopia of information. A reliable source you can turn to when Wikipedia disappoints. So continuing in that role, I am here to break a long-standing myth that all balls bounce. They do not. And I have the bruises to …(Read More)
