Socializing humans

I find it funny that we share our innermost thoughts on Facebook and Twitter, in between links to meaningless quizzes and letting the world know what we had for dinner. Ironically, these meaningless buzzes get more favorable responses than the more serious ones. Posts like “BBQ and beer in the sun” might get thumbs up [...]

Angels and demons

Today is a glorious day – and also one of great dismay. The Beast is sold, and the new owners have already picked it up, on their way home. They seemed like true enthusiasts, so I am sure the car will end up in a good home. Still though, it is like a hole has [...]

Oh happy days, after all!

Seems Michael ended up pulling the curtains shut before the show went on. As anyone would suggest, there is doubts about [...]

Some blasted, babbling thoughts

I’ve had several ideas for a blog post the last couple of days, things that I want to write about. When I finally open Windows Live Writer though, my mind goes totally blank.
