There’s an old Cheech and Chong skit… Sister Mary Elephant I think, in which the good sister has a student read his essay about what he did over his summer vacation. It begins:

Yeah, me too. A couple hours later than usual. I was [...]

So the first thing I hear on NPR news this morning is about Governor Sanford. After so famously going all John C. Calhoun on President Obama by refusing stimulus money, it turns out the Governor was visiting his Argentinian mistress. I’d like to really jump all over Sanford about this, but there’s something [...]

Now that Facebook has hooked me up with a lot of my high school friends I’m dusting off a lot of synapses. It’s always good to reconnect synapses, especially when they’re musical memories. Each time I see old friends, I hear the music they planted in my brain forever.

Last spring, when gas was over $4.00 a gallon, I started paying attention to my gas mileage a little more. Queen of My Universe got me a computer to hook up to the Korean Tiger’s brain which computes real-time gas mileage. I was having a lot of fun with it, driving slow [...]

My New Year’s fitness resolution comes shortly after New Year’s now that I live in Naples. It does for many other people too. This is the time of year when people start training for the Saint J’s 5k. St. J’s is the funkiest looking Catholic Church on the planet.
