It’s Saint Patrick’s Day Eve, which means that in Wichita, and hundreds of other cities around this great Irish nation of ours, people have already started getting drunk. Can you blame them? You don’t want St. Paddy’s Day to dawn without being three sheets to the wind, thoroughly in the bag, blasted, blotto, bombed […]
The trouble with titillation
Like most people, one of the first things I do in the morning is go online and look at the news. Usually just the headlines are enough; those five or six words are all I need to know about, say, the progress of health care or the latest natural disaster. Stories like that, there’s […]
A good time to get going
Is it the middle of March already? Guess it’s time to update the blog, which keeps registering tiny anomalies on the ECG even when it’s unplugged. Kind of like my life these days. Not that I have anything particularly interesting to impart. But let’s try: Just watched the latest Rickie Gervais movie, The Invention […]
Behold the one-man cloud
I signed on to Gmail this morning and was greeted by an invitation to join Buzz, Google’s bold foray into the social media wasteland. Naturally, I joined up.

That’s an excellent question, since I’ve spent the last few hours learning the intricacies of the new system, and will probably spend a lot more before I know what I’m […]
A family without grownups
OK, I’m going to recommend that Richard Heene, part-time “scientist” and full-time twit, be horsewhipped. And I’d be happy to throw in a good spanking for little Falcon Heene, the foul-mouthed brat who might have benefited from an actual balloon ride straight to Camp Cut-Me-A-Switch, where children learn not to curse at grownups and […]
Now that’s some writing
I keep meaning to enter the Bulwer Lytton Fiction Contest, but I also keep forgetting to get my entries in. Still, it’s always worth a look when the year’s winners are announced. Yes, I know the announcement itself was several months ago, but that’s in keeping with my general record of procrastination and partial recall. […]
