A few weeks ago Beth begged me to set up a blog – or more precisely, begged me to let her set up one herself. She wanted write this post, but call me old fashioned, I think ten is still a wee bit young for a blog. I offered to post it here, if she wanted to write something for internet consumption, but that wasn’t good enough. It HAD to be her own blog. She HAD to do it on iWeb. She HAD to…
Here’s something you might not expect me to say: “I’m thinking about picking up a copy of Windows.”
I know, it’s crazy talk. Why would I pollute a perfectly good Mac with XP, or (shudder) Vista? Cheryl keeps asking me the same thing, and I don’t have a good answer for any of you. Maybe it’s just because I can. Maybe it’s because I want to experience the magic of a Windows…
Thanks to my cousin, I’m addicted to an NBC show you can watch on Hulu.com.
I saw the movie, and I remember not being overly impressed. I heard NBC was turning it into a television show, and I remember not being overly impressed. I’ve since watched… oh, about twenty-five episodes in the last couple weeks (yes, I am that pathetic), and I am impressed.
I was even more impressed when I saw this…
This evening I pulled something off that made me feel like I’d harnessed the power to solve all the world’s ills.
What could possibly make me feel so… well, manic? Adam was just starting one of his trademark tantrums when I tried a little change of pace. I have no idea what came over me. Normally I’m kind of reserved, but this evening I jumped up and down and cried, “You’re freaking me…
I remember the evening my father told me about pollution. I don’t remember how old I was, but I know it was sometime after we moved to Florida (I must have been at least eight). I remember being out in the back yard with the telescope, my dad explaining why it wasn’t the best place for stargazing. That night, I remember learning about leaded gasoline, catalytic converters, and smog. I remember…
If you don’t know who Al Lang is, that’s o.k. For most of my life I didn’t know who he was either. It turns out he was a mayor of St Petersburg, FL about 90 years ago. As it turns out there are a lot of people who know Al’s name, and have no idea who he was.
The reason? His name was loaned to a little baseball field that was home to more spring training games than any other… to teams…
Here’s a few numbers I saw in the Times recently. These concern the (FL) House budget proposal that was released last week.
$2.5 Billion – what you get when you subtract state revenues from state expenses (ideally that number equal to, or less than $0).
$1 Billion – proposed cuts to human services.
8,000 – terminally ill Medicaid patients who’d have their hospice care eliminated (as…
In a post this weekend, I linked to a McClatchy article which indicated Obama’s lead over Clinton was 1858 – 1270 – per the AP.
Today, I read an AP article stating the delegate count was 1631 – 1501.
That’s a pretty big difference, especially considering both figures are supposed to come from the same source: the AP. After reading a little more closely, it seems the first number was the…
The Rays won their opener this afternoon. I didn’t see much of the game due to the early start, but what I saw looked pretty good. Shields picked up right where he left off last season, the bullpen didn’t collapse (even after a terrible error by Wheeler), Aki turned a couple double plays at his new position, and Dioner Navarro went three for four and was complimented on his base…
