29 more days. Pitchers and catchers.

The sweaters are coming along fine. Sleeve #1 on sweater #2 well under way. Although I haven’t been plying the needles the last couple of days, they are coming along nicely. All I have to do after the sleeves […]

VHS vs BETA

I saw my friend Phatboy this weekend.  I see him about once a year and coincidentally, it always happens to be on HIS birthday.  Interesting, huh?  Anyway he was telling me how he had just bought an HD DVD player last month and just the other day Warner Bros. announced that they’re going with Blue-ray.  […]

NYIP

Tuesday January 15, 2008
On line courses, at home study, learn yourself study. All have sounded very lame to me in the past. No way can you get what you should out of something like that. "Learn at your own pace" when maybe what most of us need is assignment deadlines, taskmasters pushing deadlines on […]

Not Much Going On

Saturday January 12, 2008

Someone asked me at 8A this morning what I was going to do with my day. I didn’t have an answer and that has bothered me all day. It hasn’t been a wasted day, have gotten a lot of "stuff" done but somehow that falls short of what I think I should […]

What Have You Done Lately?

Happy Birthday, LMK!  
Last night Liz and I went to see "Come Back, Little Sheba".   What a wonderful play and two such strong performances in the husband and wife roles.  William Inge made a career of writing plays about the sad human condition.  This is basically the story of a strong […]

Challenge

Tuesday, January 8, 2008
Why do we challenge ourselves?  What is it that drives us?  
I spent time last night with three young women who all auditioned for parts in a play with a small number of roles.   These three women are best of friends and yet are competing for roles in the same play.  They […]

If You Can Smellllll What Barack is Cookin’

By now everyone should know that Barack Obama is one of the front running candidates to be the President of the US.  I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not much of a political person so I haven’t ever even heard Obama speak until today.
As I’m watching Obama’s victory speech from Iowa the other […]
