Me And My Uncle
 Watching the DNC this week I can’t help but think about the issue of alternative fuels. I never thought corn-derived ethanol was the answer. Using a food source for fuel when billions of people are starving around the world seems like a dumb idea to me. We need to find ways to create fuel […]

Great… I found a way to get your money’s worth at the Ameristar Sunday Brunch – eat a little food and then spend the next two hours guzzling champagne cocktails. And when you leave, don’t forget the complimentary peppermill. Tom made it back safely from the Playboy Mansion. Although I did receive a text message on Sunday saying he […]

Instant Karma

But instead of getting upset every time I […]
Sick Of Myself
 Several years ago I had a landline telephone number that was nearly identical to that of the Dodge dealership across the street. I think they were the same except for the last number. By the way kids, people used to have telephones that were connected to a jack in the wall. You can Google it […]
Arc Of A Diver
 Maribeth leaves a floater Tonight is going to be brief because I have to take a nap. My alarm is set for 1 AM, so I can watch Women’s Beach Volleyball. Yeah, I know, American swimmer Michael Phelps is all the rage at the games right now. But there’s something special about watching bikini-clad women playing barefoot […]
