I’ve ripped all my Morphine albums now except Cure for Pain, which I’ve misplaced somewhere. Morphine was my favorite band of the 90’s. Their mellow bass driven lounge rock was perfect. Their first three albums, Good, Cure for Pain and Yes are essential members of any good music library and great artillery for self-indulgent pity […]

Need a Clean One?
Why is now my favorite time in Max’s life so far? He connects things now and can have a real conversation (well, real in a surreal way). Last night, we had to take my little brother to school on our way out to dinner. Steve has the flu, but had to go to class anyway. […]
Another Forgotten Album
In my recent techno-obsession, I’ve forgotten all about Phish. Today, I’m listening to a bunch of their albums, and the first one I picked up is still my favorite. Billy Breathes is an amazing album. In the album’s 45 minutes, Phish manages to use all of their talent to create an album that sounds better […]
Hey, It’s Today!
I resolved not to watch anything on TV with “9/11” in the title. That left me with very few options, which was fine with me. I played with Max, cleaned up, waited for Jen to get home, and played some Jak and Daxter (beat the big robot at the end… now I have to go […]
Thank God for the First Amendment
For everyone who bought one of those durable vinyl car flags, there were those who thought we deserved it. And, as strong as my reaction is to both of those extremes, I know I’ve spent at least a second at each one of them, and at many places in between. That said, there’s some stuff […]
The Anniversary
This is a difficult topic for me, and one that I hope I won’t talk about again for a very long time. As the anniversary approaches, I’ve been thinking more and more about how to commemorate it. I’ve decided a few things: I won’t be watching the “specials” on the news or any other channel. […]
Mr. Dick’s Warning
Dick Cheney’s warning the nation of a possible marriage between Al-Qaeda and Iraq. Where does a couple like that register? I wouldn’t think Target would have what they’re interested in. What did the choose as their china pattern? What’s their song? Who’s the bride? Was there a dowery? Who gave the bride away? How do […]
Freeeeeee?! Did you say freeeeeeee??!!
Oh yes, and they’re lovely. I remember visiting this site many moons ago, and harvesting loads of fonts. Since then, they’ve expanded: Free dincFONTS. Some beautiful typefaces for your designery.
Please Join Me In Welcoming to the Stage…
I’ve linked to my friend Mike’s climbing stories before. Mike has deigned to grace us with his presence in the wonderful world of blogging. Mike’s a great guy (my former boss) and an excellent writer. Be on the look out for great things (no pressure, Mike, no pressure at all).
Completely Fabricated Harry Potter Rumor
After my last post about the wondrous vibrating broom, I’ve decided that it’s a marketing ploy to introduce a major plot point in the next book. Since the kids are getting older, and obviously curious about the ways of the world, there will be a new sex education teacher named Ms. Trembly-Wombly. They’ve already cast […]
