Tête-à-Tête-Tête

The other night at Walmart I saw a kid with a shirt that said on the front “I am a skateboarder” and on the back it read “go ahead and arrest me.”
I know skateboarders catch a lot of hell from the police. I have seen it first hand. I never have really understood it. I have [...]

This is the promised weekly update. It’s now been seven days, and the fact is that, with the miracle drug, I have to be reminded that I am in the middle of quitting. Withdrawals are minimal, cravings are nil. I had a couple of rough spots here and there, but nothing like [...]

RW is suspending business indefinitely, and that makes me sad. Cheers to you, RW & all the best in everything you do. Come back if and when you can - you’ll have plenty of folks eager to visit.

I just want to brag a little and say I had a great weekend, with good company and good times.
Friday night, I caught the Dismembered Tennesseans opening nightfall, listened to the first number by Cadillac Sky on the way back to the car… then off to have a nice Longhorn dinner with the better half [...]

Just like last time, day 2 was a little tougher than day 1. If I remember, week 2 is probably tougher than week 1.
But the wonder-drug is making a difference. A lot of the time, I don’t even think about it. Last time, I didn’t get to that point until [...]

I am writing this a tad early for Tuesday morning reading, but as of 1:45 a.m. (or thereabouts) Eastern time, I am 24 hours without a cigarette.
Let me back up a little. This isn’t the first time I quit. In fact, I remember the year I quit as being 2003, because quitting was [...]

I am alive. I really meant to take a few minutes to reacquaint myself with this blog this morning, but I had a late night with a bud at the Local watching The Mollys (Yeah? Same to you!)… Great fun, but the result is I wake up too late this morning to think or [...]

You read it correctly.
I lost exactly 1/2 of one pound over the last 30 days. 8 ozs. It’s a good thing that I pissed before I weighed.
It was a wild and wooly 30 days. I once caught a glimpse of 281 and I also saw 290. It was up and down and all around. The month includes my [...]

Is this science?
It seems kind of hocus-pocus to me.
Can something really be changed simply by observing it? Can electrons actually “know” they are being observed? And were they not being observed during both segments of the experiment and if so why the different behaviour and what did observation have to do with the different behavior?
My wife [...]

I remember laughing about a guy who called 911 from the emergency room because he could not get treatment fast enough. Emergency rooms do suck.
But this just is not funny. 
I can’t help but wonder if the hatred of all things Hispanic had anything to do with this. Police were in the process of arresting her as she [...]
