Glenn Ford, an actor’s actor, has passed away at age 90.
I’ve written several posts about people, celebrities, etc, who have passed on. A recurring theme of a lot of those posts was “I didn’t realize they did so much that I didn’t know about”. And so it was with Glenn Ford; Dad and [...]

118, the number of days until Christmas, 2006. SWMBO and I received our first “Christmas Gifts” catalog of the season. It gets worse every year; it’s not even Labor Day yet.
Having said that, I must admit the “Pull my Finger Santa” in the catalog was cute, in a cantankerous old wanker kinda [...]

Clayton Cubitt is back, on this, the one year Katrina date. He has an absolutely beautiful picture of his Mom, and some of his great writing here. He talks about the outpouring of support his mother has received. I’ll cite one paragraph from the post:

Tonight, a half-hour hence, the Sharpie 500 from Bristol Motor Speedway. I’ve never been to Bristol, but 165,000+ people around a half mile high banked concrete track, just warms the cockles of my heart.
I hope to attend this event at some point. I’d need luck in acquiring tickets; Bristol sells out [...]

SWMBO and I now drive each other to our respective optometrist’s appointments. This is because, at our ages, a dilation of the pupils is in order, the better for the doctor to examine the insides of our eyes.
Neither of us is comfortable driving after the procedure, so the one not being examined drives the [...]

I had toyed with the idea of attending this year’s Converge South on October 13-14 in Greensboro NC. Converge South appears, from all I’ve read about it, to be devoid of the elitist puffery that abounds in far too many of today’s conferences. And the price, being free, is right as well.
I’m also getting [...]

The above modifiers refer respectively to Scotch, Bourbon, and coffee. Having written about the first two, I figured it was time to mention coffee. I drink single-cup coffee at work, made in my pretty blue Senseo, as pictured here. I love the neatness of the whole thing; no grounds to dispose of, no filters [...]
