When this bit about old rock stars started, I groaned. I’d heard it before. But Tim Hawkins did a pretty good job. I can’t decide if Tom Petty, Garth Brooks or the Who was the funniest. You know who he missed? Aerosmith! Hmmm…what could we do for them? Why can’t I think of a single …

Goodbye, Blanch.
I know I’m two months late on this, but oh well. It’s weird to think that now that Rue McClanahan is gone, three of the four Golden Girls are gone. Funnily enough, I used to watch that show as a kid and like it. Mom had to keep convincing me that Bea Arthur was a …
The Hitler Cake Case Is Done
Well it’s official. Heath Campbell and his wife aren’t getting little Hitler and company back. I think they found enough reasons, from both mom and dad being messed up, to threats of violence, to neither of them being able to write a sentence to save their asses. Maybe now the kids can have their names …
I Should Send This Essay To My Mom
Wow. We have bitched about the stupidity of the new airport security measures, but this essay couldn’t put it any more articulately. Ya wanna know who wrote it? A pilot! He did quite a bit of research, and it’s true about our short memories. When you see all of those bombings summed up, you wonder …
That’s How It’s Done!
A little note to the nice lady who helped me across the parking lot at Speedvale Plaza last night: You’re awesome. You couldn’t have helped me any better. In fact, you need to train everybody who I’ve complained about. First, you asked me if I needed help. Then you asked me where I was going, …
Hey Dave Caroll, Wanna Write Another Song?
Yikes! Apparently United breaks guitars, and Air Canada breaks custom-made $15000-wheelchairs of kids with Muscular Dystrophy. But thanks to some major tweetage, they’re repairing his chair and they’ve given him a replacement, sorta. But it’s going to take a while because these things are custom-built. Here’s a novel idea, airline people. Be careful with the …

Thoughts Big And Small
I had a few random thoughts that weren’t Trixie-related. Don’t worry, I can’t foresee this post being nearly as long. In our house, we have a fan standing in the hallway near the entrance of one of the bedrooms. The reason it’s there is that’s the only room where we could put our air conditioner, …
Trixie Gets A Novel
I don’t think Trix has gotten a post all to herself in a while. I think she’s due. I always knew that she responded to different people in different ways, but I’ve noticed something else. Among the people she loves, even they get different kinds of affection. There’s me. I get the dancing around me, …
An Interesting Point About Trekker Points Of Interest
I figured out something with my Trekker that I thought other people might want to know. If you’re in free mode, and you record a point of interest or POI, a. it becomes hard as all hell to find and label, and b. you cannot use that POI as an origin or destination of a …

>Good Guess!
>Steve told me about a site that he went to years ago that would look at a site and guess the gender of its author. I was dead curious if it could figure out ye old VC. So I found GenderAnalyzer.com and punched our address into it. The main page is all posts that I …
