food fail
Teriyaki Samurai set up this booth at Taste Of Madison today. Notice anything missing? Like maybe at least one dish with teriyaki in it? I was really looking forward to teriyaki by the time I got to this point. They could’ve at least had a ninja making the smoothies. My Darling B and I biked… Read.

coffee fail
As loyal readers of this blog may have noticed, I have employed many, many different gadgets in many ways as I’ve tried to figure out how to make the perfect cup of home-brewed coffee. (If you’re my brother, the perfect cup of coffee is made this way: Heap the filter basket of a Mr. Coffee… Read.

wink at the moon
I have a strange confession for a space geek to make: I have only the sketchiest idea where I was, and no memory of what I was doing, when Neil Armstrong took his first step on the moon. I’m pretty sure I was in Marquette, Michigan when it happened, but I have no memory of… Read.

Neil Armstrong 1930-2012
I’m not one to worship heroes, and I have my doubts that Neil Armstrong was ever one to consider himself a hero, but dammit, he was. He really was. So long, Neil, and thanks for daring to do great things. Read.

“Would you like to meet me at Glass Nickel after work?” I asked My Darling B by text message late yesterday afternoon. She answered “OK!” about a half-hour later, just as I was packing up my saddle bags in preparation for leaving the office. I changed into shorts and a summery shirt, headed out the… Read.

thrones
This is day three of hearing the theme song from Game of Thrones droning in my head all day long. Tim lent us his five-DVD set of the first season and we watched the whole thing last week, staying up until eleven-thirty Sunday night to watch the last four episodes. And no spoilers or anything… Read.
