Just the news, big deals, not-so-big deals, birthday, anniversaries, announcements, mostly timely stuff. The news that applies to the personal world around me, not what you watch on cable or listen to on the radio.

Four thousand posts

A nice spot between my birthday and wedding anniversary. It’s 27 days late but as the cliché goes…better late than never. What to talk about? How about the math. Let’s see, this format began on July 3, 2005. That makes … Continue reading

Bonne Anniversaire Christina!

The 27th is always a great and eventful day. My trilingual friend who turned out to be the best legacy of working at DG celebrates her special day (I already knew Rad via Stvee, he doesn’t count). What’s the plan? … Continue reading

Congratulations Nelson on his new gig

My only remaining friend/family in Chicago started a new position this Monday. He had been searching for a while and it can be tough in the Midwest, a region stuck in a rut from many directions. This attitude is why my … Continue reading

A pause or anti-respite in the hiatus from Picayune?

Plus what’s with these posts requiring a password? I would blame those on the death of privacy in some ways. They’re not incriminating or anything really awful, we just live in an over-cautious, over-reacting, heavily-handed PC world. Quick aside: Contrary … Continue reading

Happy Birthday Kristin!

Lucky person. She got David X Cohen, the co-creator/developer of Futurama and Patrick Stewart/Captain Picard. It’s good to have her back after a little vacation from her former hometown of Baltimore. I’ll allow Kristin to have an exception in being allowed … Continue reading

This month’s theme is Pluto!

New Horizons will finally zoom by Pluto, get pictures and other data but I’m confident the whole planet debate will continue. As I’ve said before, I am with the ASU’s position of it is not. The loudest voices in the is camp … Continue reading

Happy Birthday Radman!

The coolest, calmest, most zen dude I’ve ever met. Plus he almost kicked a homeless guy’s ass when he pulled a suspicious move on me. It was my fault. I wasn’t taunting the dude, I was just trying to converse … Continue reading
