Dark Side of the Moon
I just finished reading Dark Side of the Moon, a book about Nasa’s lunar landing project. I feel it is safe to say that author Gerard DeGroot, a science writer from Scotland, is no friend of America’s manned space program, or any other country’s. Time out: What, by the way, is a shorthand way to… Read.

Let’s Listen In
Yesterday afternoon, talk radio brought us the Constitution Party’s candidate for the federal senate seat coming open next month in Wisconsin, and we kept the radio tuned in and the volume turned up because whenever they have somebody from a political group with a name like Constitution Party or Green Party or American Liberty Party… Read.

Ehhh! Ehhh!
Trying to think of suitable drivel to release upon the world is never an easy task; trying to do it while Bonkers the cat is squatting beside the grand exalted throne deep in the heart of drivel HQ going “Ehhh! Ehhh!” makes it even harder. Bonkers doesn’t go “Meow” like other cats. Bonkers goes “Ehhh!”… Read.

The Big E
I’ve been gaping at this in slack-jawed wonder for two days now and I’ve only just now regained the self-composure needed to reel my tongue all the way back in. This is the coolest fan art I’ve ever seen. Ever. (The thumbnail doesn’t do it justice; click on the image to gargantu-size.) This image should… Read.

Shuffle Bowling at St Vinnie’s
If I’d been able to figure out how to fit it into the back seat of our car, this would be in the living room of our home right now. Or maybe not. When I mentioned it to My Darling B she laughed and asked me where I thought we would be able to put… Read.

Babies
Watching Babies is the most fun I’ve had at the movies since I can remember. Actually, we didn’t see it in a movie theater, we watched it at home, where we probably had a lot more fun than we could’ve had in a theater, because although people will overlook the occasional coo and awww when… Read.

Show and Tell
Aaron, one of my coworkers, was showing me how to approve course work for continuing education. That’s what I do now; I’m one of the two continuing education specialists in my unit at the Department of Regulation and Licensing, so I’d better know how to do this at least a little better than the guy… Read.

There’s a right way, and a guy way
I’ve made it to page five hundred something of The Making of the Atomic Bomb when it finally got really good, and by “really good” I mean I got to the part that guys would like most: The part about how they got the atomic bomb to blow up. This was not as easy as… Read.

Best Cuppa Joe EVAR
There’s an EVP Coffee shop serving the most delicious cuppa joe I’ve lapped up in a long time, and it’s just a block from the office building where I am now privileged to work. I think it’s the original shop; there are three more around town, but this seems to be the one that didn’t… Read.

Hoofing it
After a full day at the Department of Administration I am well and truly oriented, I can tell you! Is it just me, or does Department of Administration sound redundant to you, too? Or maybe it just sounds backwards, like it ought to be Administration of Departments. Okay, that went nowhere, didn’t it? I came… Read.
