Just to get caught up…
Posted in Uncategorized on June 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Since my last note here…
I turned 40.
I restarted fishing.
I went to North Myrtle Beach again.
I bought (and flew) a kite.
I went to Ridemakerz, the Build-A-Bear for men.
I got and (hopefully) beat sciatica.
Work has gotten better (in a way).
I bought $35 worth of pralines.
How have you been ?

Akron mayor Don Plusquellic, who has been mayor of Akron since I was in high school (I’m two months shy of 40 now), is under a serious threat of being recalled from office. As a resident of Cuyahoga Falls, I am in full support of the effort to oust this “bad neighbor.”

Terrell Owens: Not Unemployed
Posted in Uncategorized on March 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It was reported last week that the national unemployment rate is at a 25-year low of 8.1%.
The good news: 91.9% of us still are working.
The bad news: among the 91.9% of us now working: Terrell Owens. Owens signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills.
So what can one say about T.O. ?

Not a lot to say lately
Posted in Uncategorized on March 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Due to President Obama’s stimulus package, I have not had a lot to say lately. As part of his stimulus package, where the National Endowment for the Arts gets $50 million, NOAA gets $830 million (to tell me it’s going to rain tomorrow), and NASA is getting $1 billion to run the long-obsolete space shuttle [...]
“Stimulus” package…Democrats up to their old tricks ?
Posted in Uncategorized on February 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »

1. Tax.
2. Spend.
This, by far, is the largest undertaking of its kind – including the New [...]

The folks running the New Year’s Eve party at Times Square invited Braylon Edwards to join them. Why ? They want him to drop the ball.

To honor the memory of my friend Jody Hudson…
Posted in Uncategorized on November 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
…I will not be making picks on this weekend’s high school regional championships. The reason I say so in his memory is this…Jody was by no means a sports fan. He could never figure out how I am such a sports fanatic. So therefore I defer for this week in his memory.
But I will say [...]
