Short List of People I Wouldn’t Trust to Tell Me It Was Day If I Couldn’t See The Sun.

I’ve been watching the NBA for thirty years, and a Lakers fan since they got Kareem in the late 70s. If I was coaching an NBA team and could pick any player who ever lived to take a game winning (or losing) shot, it wouldn’t be Jerry West, Kareem, Michael, Magic or Larry. It would be Robert Horry. The look on his face when he takes the kinds of shots like the one that sent the Trailblazers home whimpering again would make you think he could care less if he made or missed them. No fear, no determined look, just…
Dave says ” What email has become.
Dave says “What email has become. 2/3 spam. 1/5 viruses. A bunch of ad hominems, sprinkled with a few interesting messages.” I couldn’t agree more. I checked my email after getting out of the hospital and found that 85% of it was spam or viruses. Email has already gotten to be more of an annoyance than a benefit. What the hell can you do?
Ouch
Getting a gall bladder taken out doesn’t sound like a big deal (at least I never thought of it in such terms), but I have a greater appreciation for that little organ now. I had mine taken out on Friday and will be out of commission for at least another week.

I got a call from my wife this afternoon at work; she was very distressed. She had stopped off at Walmart on the way home, and while she was inside someone stole a package out of her truck that my parents had sent us. As today was our anniversary we both assumed the worst, and that someone had made off with our anniversary present. She called my mother when she got home, and found out that the package contained a pair of pants that I had left at their home a few weeks ago on a one night layover on…

We picked up a DVD player recently, and it contained a free trial for Netflix, so we decided to give it a shot. Three weeks have passed and I still can’t figure out if I like it or not. You make a list of your 10 most wanted DVDs, and they send whatever DVD is available from the top of your list. They seem to be pretty quick with getting the new releases, but the cycle takes getting used to. They advertise “All all the videos you want for $19.95 a month.” Well, you can have three videos out at…
This past Sunday, St.
This past Sunday, St. Patrick’s day, marked the start of the three month countdown for our trip to Ireland. How appropriate. I’m thinking of using RA as the journal of our trip. Things have been so busy around here I really haven’t been able to much thought into it. What do you do when you have one of the world’s coolest technologies at your fingertips, and no time do do anything with it? I’m off to Monterey for a language conference tomorrow.
Hau’oli Makahiki Hou! Happy New Year everyone! And thanks for the new theme, UserLand and Bryan Bell!

Philosophy My Tuckus
Hey Dave, do the Mets still have a philosophy, or have they just adopted the Yankees’ ‘non-philosophy’ of buying up all the talent in sight? In the past couple of weeks they’ve picked up Mo Vaughn, Roger Cedeno, and Robbie Alomar, and are pursuing Juan Gonzalez. Vaughn says he’s been working out and has proclaimed himself fit. From the looks of this picture the only running he’s been doing is from the limo to the pizza shop front door. Time to beef up the suspension on the team bus. Normally I don’t give much thought to baseball, but enjoy Dave’s…
