voting: Pull My Lever!
My current work machine is off getting a lobotomy, so I’m on a loaner. It’s slow, got nearly no memory and doesn’t even have all of the applications I need to do my job. Needless to say, it’s been a...

Union Station: Walk It Out!
Another full day yesterday, met James, Michael and Fredo at Union Station and we took in the area, generally allowing our wanderlust to take us around. I was pleasantly surprised to see a Fantom Comics in one of the retail...
on metro: Is that your bag?
After all these years, I finally had a real live “Is that your bag?” moment on the metro. It had nothing to do with combating terrorism or anything like that. I just didn’t want the poor guy to leave his...
Ricky IS a gender-neutral name, after all!

The plan seemed simple enough, get up and out to see the new G1 phone at a T-Mobile location. James was our navigator, so he determined we should head to Pentagon City. I haven’t been to Pentagon City in ages,...
food: What a crock!
I’m not sure I’ll ever forgive Norman for sending me one of his cast-offs, a 2-quart crock pot, or as the more refined say, slow cooker. Yes, I know it says Crock Pot on the damn thing, but I’m trying...
We don’t need a bowling alley, we need a skating rink.
From Kris’ entries on his trip to Austin City Limits: Erykah Badu loves to talk… My favorite part of her ramblings, though, was when she advocated overthrowing the United States government. OK, that’s the kind of gross simplification many public...
