Well, it’s done! Last night my band 404 Not Found played our first gig since August. That was a 5 month hiatus from live performance. The event was our CD release party for “Paper Cuts” and it was at the Somewhere Else Bar & Grill in Denver. I liked the venue, although the sound system… Continue reading Untitled

Yahoo! News – U.S. Says Saddam Held Under Geneva Convention Rules: “‘He is being treated in accordance with the Geneva conventions and provided protections of a prisoner of war,’ McClellan told reporters.” This contrasts to the situation with the Afghan prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, who are not being held in accordance with the Geneva conventions.… Continue reading Untitled

Yahoo! News – Saddam Hussein Captured Alive Near Tikrit – Woo hoo! Finally, some good news regarding the Iraq occupation. Hopefully this will signal the beginning of the end of the resistance movement, and the Iraqis can now put together some sort of new government. Now if they could just find Osama, who had 100… Continue reading Untitled

Yahoo! News – Pentagon Audit Finds Halliburton Overcharged – What a surprise! A large corporation with tight connections to the Commander-in-Chief wins a huge no-bid contract with the DoD and then fraudulently overcharges?

Yahoo! News – Report: Qaeda Shifting to Iraq from Afghanistan – I thought we destroyed both these organizations – al Qaeda and the Taliban. And yet Osama bin Laden is still funding the Afghan resistance to the tune of $3,000,000 per month?

Holiday Snowglobe – I think you’ll like this. Grab and shake. Or just watch the little people. In other news, I got rejected by the 2nd blood bank in a week. They both said they could accept my blood donation since my doctor said it was OK, and then when I went in to donate,… Continue reading Untitled

Yahoo! News – McCain Lashes Congress, Bush for Overspending – I wrote a letter to John McCain a few weeks ago, telling him how sorry I was that I didn’t vote for him when I had the chance. Of any politician of any party, I’ve thought for several months that McCain would make the best… Continue reading Untitled

I’m a regular blood donor at Bonfils, and I got a call from them shortly before my knee surgery asking if I could come donate. I declined, given the upcoming surgery. They called again and left another message a couple days ago, so I just called them to find out how long I have to… Continue reading Untitled

Well, it’s Friday now. On Wednesday, Beth and I went into Boulder for some errands and lunch. I was getting around pretty good on one crutch, but I think I overdid it that day. I had more knee pain than I’d had since the day of the surgery. So I decided to take it easy… Continue reading Untitled

Yahoo! News – Energy Bill Collapses, May Be Revived in 2004 – Here’s some good news, a small victory. Hopefully, Big Energy’s political power and Bush’s attention will wane in 2004, and they’ll drop this idea that oil companies should be immune to lawsuits based on water contamination. I was just wondering to myself what… Continue reading Untitled
