Does Not Compute
You know, for the longest time sci-fi was full of crazy things that could happen in the future. Things like machines taking over the world. With all due respect to HAL, puh-lease! As if that could ever happen. Here’s the … Continue reading
Laissez Le Buon Tempi Rotolare!
For Lent this year I gave up asking people what Lent is about. I honestly don’t get it, but I won’t ask about it again until after whatever day it is that Lent is over. Maybe Easter? The few things … Continue reading

Fancy Meeting You Here
OK, first of all, I am absolutely fine (Mom-read my lips, I’m f-i-n-e) but I got into a bit of a car accident today. A pedestrian darted right into the street from in front of a bus and to avoid her … Continue reading
A Fish By Any Other Name
Everyone who knows me knows that I am an extremely picky eater. I hate onions. I don’t eat stuff that has bits of things because who knows what’s in there. I don’t like any kind of Asian food whatsoever. All … Continue reading
Planet Of The Dogs
Don’t ask me why, but I found myself lured in to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show last night. The whole thing is obscene, but I won’t turn this post into a rant about breeding. Don’t worry, I will definitely … Continue reading
