Yahoo! News – Bin Laden Seen Alive and Kicking with New Tape – Beth and I watched the special edition DVD of “The Princess Bride” last weekend. And all of a sudden this morning it dawned on me when I saw this news headline – I wonder if Osama is really a Dread Pirate Roberts!… Continue reading Untitled

I just uploaded a bunch of photos from my 1985 summer vacation in Europe. You can see them here. They were originally taken on 110 format slides, but I just had those slides scanned by a great company in Utah.

Well, it’s Wednesday night. Last Friday I drove to western Colorado right after work to join my father for the once-in-a-lifetime hunting trip. He was hunting for a desert bighorn sheep. I met him and my brother Kent for dinner at a mediocre restaurant and stayed the night at the house of my cousin Deb.… Continue reading Untitled

Ooh, I just got email from Amazon.com saying that they’ve finally shipped my order containing Adventures in Modern Recording by The Buggles. That was their second album, which you can’t get on CD in the US. It’s only available on the import CD from Japan, which explains why it’s $46. You have to be a… Continue reading Untitled

I’m eating my lunch at my desk at work for the 3rd time this week. Frankly, I’m getting tired of working through lunch, so I thought I’d take a few minutes to update my blog.

We played at The Other Side arts center last night, opening for The Voodoo Organist. Attendance was much poorer than even I expected. Whatever promotion the organizer of this show and the venue did apparently didn’t work. I think the only people who showed up were the folks who worked there and people who heard… Continue reading Untitled

I had a mental breakthrough last night while I was reading my ethics book on the exercise bike at the health club. I figured out why I have Libertarian tendencies. But to explain, I’ll have to teach you about this British deep thinker of the early 19th century. And I don’t have the book in… Continue reading Untitled

Just moments after I published that last blog entry, I looked at the reviews of this book (Who Moved My Cheese?) on Amazon.com. Despite being a “#1 Bestseller” this book has gotten panned by those who read it and took the time to write their thoughts on Amazon. One reviewer writes this: This book is… Continue reading Untitled
