Happy Birthday, Weird Al Yankovic.
Thank you for 33 years of laughter and fun…
… and for being the geek you had to be.

There will be no weight loss post this week.  That’s because there was no weight loss.  Now, don’t get me wrong, there was no weight gain, and that, my dear readers, is just fine with me.  I don’t have anything particularly enlightened to say this week on the subject, so I’ll just leave you with [...]

I had something interesting happen on Wednesday, and I figured I’d share, a bit belatedly.
Earlier in the week, The Digital Kid asked if he could go check out a new place in town, called The Haven.  Now, I’d seen the place, looking over the edge of a bridge that crosses a series of Santa Fe [...]

You know, they say everyone has their twin, someone who looks enough like them to be a brother or sister.  In the case of famous comic actress Carol Burnett, for instance, that person was Vicki Lawrence.  And while these look-alikes may be rare, I believe I’ve found one.  You see, I’ve got this friend, Charlie, [...]

This is my van.
It’s a 1987 Chevy G20 Conversion.  It’s missing two of the captain’s chairs, both on the passenger side, because the first owner had a wheelchair lift installed.  It, however, no longer has the lift.  There are a few rust spots around the outside, especially near the edges of the windows.  It runs [...]

On a worldwide journey, Pope Benedict visits the United States.  While taking a private tour in a limousine around Washington, D.C., he gets the urge to drive.  He asks to switch places with his driver who, being a devout Catholic, would never say “no” to the Holy See.  The Pope takes the wheel and stomps [...]

Have you ever climbed Mt. Everest?  Parasailed across the English Channel?
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Is your life interesting?
If you haven’t seen the commercials for German beer Dos Equis, you should mosey over to YouTube and check them out.  The ads star actor Jonathan Goldsmith, whose career is long and [...]
