Month: March 2003

My grandmother Delma died this morning between 3 and 4 AM. She’d been getting worse and worse over the past couple months, so this wasn’t really too much of a surprise. Ironically, Beth and I were planning to visit her on Easter weekend when we go to Redstone to visit my parents. I’m sad I… Continue reading Untitled

Friday night I saw two bands for free. They were playing at Tim’s Net Guru Cafe, which is the location of the Broomfield Poetry Jam. First up was Kallisti. They rocked my fucking ass off. I really like their sound and their musical arrangement. Plus they sell CDs for $3. Where else can you get… Continue reading Untitled

I meant to mention that I’m mad that George Bush decided to start the war with Iraq on my birthday. I think he did it just to spite me. In other news, I was robbed this week. Someone stole my wallet out of my locker at the health club. Wednesday evening after work I went… Continue reading Untitled

In case you’ve been in Osama’s cave, I’m sure you’ve heard that Iraq claims to have captured some American soldiers and is holding them as prisoners of war. The Bush administration has been basically saying, “You better treat those guys right, or you’ll be war criminals.” (see here, for instance) In particular, they’re complaining that… Continue reading Untitled

Well, another birthday came and went. My birthday was Thursday the 20th. I worked most of the day, though I left a bit early. Even though I got to work quite easily, some people were still snowed in and couldn’t make it to work. Thursday evening we had dinner at Benihana’s. The food was good,… Continue reading Untitled

Michael Moore speaks his mind in this open letter to GW Bush. – He’s got some darn good points there, and I agree with just about everything he wrote. In fact, I suggested to Beth several months ago that Bush’s attitude about Iraq might be different if his daughters were fighting for freedom. Instead, they’re… Continue reading Untitled

Well, I shoveled and shoveled. This morning, about all I did was shovel. Here’s what I looked like in the snow. See the blue thing behind me? That’s our trash can. It was clear the garbage man wasn’t coming to pick it up, so Beth said bring it inside. However, to do that, I first… Continue reading Untitled

If you haven’t already heard, we got a fair amount of snow here in the Denver area over the past 36 hours. It was raining when I drove home from work Monday evening, but that turned to snow around midnight or so. It’s pretty much snowed nonstop since then. I did make it into the… Continue reading Untitled

TOMPAINE.com – Just War – Or A Just War? – I agree with Jimmy Carter on this one.

Man, yesterday was a busy day. After I woke up around 6:00, I paid bills and caught up on email. Then we went to the supermarket, deposited some checks, and bought 2 adult tickets to the zoo. We visited the zoo in the late morning, and wandered through maybe half of it. I intentionally wanted… Continue reading Untitled
