Ambrosia…
I love my wife. She is great! There is very little that can top a hug from her. But coffee comes close, some days. And today is one of those days. The first sip of coffee just makes me want to sit back and do nothing for 8 hours. The headache starts to clear up …
Peter Jackson = LotR? Maybe…
Three times in 12 hours, I’ve been spammed by a Save The Lord of the Rings post relating that only Peter Jackson could possibly do a movie based on The Hobbit. Obviously this took a bit of time to ramp up, because, as you can see from this website it’s been a week since The …
Lost? How Lost are you?
I suspect that the number of comments I received on this post about Lost was due to the juxtaposition of “Lost” and “Shit” in the same googleable sentence. Somebody even popped up just last week to drop a comment. I’m quite proud of my most popular post. [sniff] But, I digress. If anyone pops over …
Phenylephrine HCL
I’ve been sick the last few days. Usually, I get a cold, it sucks but I take decongestants or cough suppresants or analgesics (or all of the above) and just deal with it. Rarely do I feel the need to just sit and do nothing while the microscopic war is raging inside my system. Unfortunately, …
Newark Liberty International Airport
I was reading the NY Times this morning when this article caught my attention: “NEWARK, New Jersey (CNN) — A commercial plane with more than 300 people on board bumped an empty plane Tuesday at Newark Liberty International Airport.” When did NJ rename Newark? A quick google search indicates that it was 2006. Ok, why …
Asia -> Spain: Holy Crap that's a long way!
I’ve been hearing a lot of press recently about the Canary Isands being the port of harbor for African illegal immigration to Europe. The geography makes good sense. The Canaries are only 150 miles (give or take) off of Morocco. Not entirely dissimilar to the Cuban and Haitian boat refugees trying for Florida. However, this …

Flag Displays in the Classroom
Over at About.com, the geography man Matt Rosenberg has caused a bit of a rucus in the comments of this post. Do you think the Mexican flag should be displayed with “equal promininence” to the US flag in an American Classroom? Go! comment on Matt’s entry.
The NSA-T&T likes Me! And You?
I was all ready to get worked up about this but then I checked around and realized it was a fake. God I hope it’s a fake… National Surveillance Agency? There’s No Such Agency…
AOL and its Customer Service Practices
I know nothing about AOL. I know nothing about AOL’s services, customer treatment, or business practices. I’ve never had an AOL account and been one of “them.” However, this link, forwarded to me by Meandering Starre shows a depth of disprespect that is unconscionable. I honestly don’t know what I would have done in Vincent’s …
