Stop me if you heard this one. No. Don’t bother. I’m gonna post it anyway. This could be my last post for a while, except for my attempts to mobile-photoblog my car trip home for Christmas. Schizoprenia — Do You Hear What I Hear? Multiple Personality Disorder — We Three Queens Disoriented Are Dementia — I Think I’ll Be Home … Read More
Light Blogging
Yes, I know there’s much going on. Bush is talking to the press, laying out plans for victory in Iraq (supposedly), and defending his decision to spy on law-abiding people like you and me. The War on the "War on Christmas" still spins away. And people are dying all the time (Jack Anderson being the latest). But it’s the holiday … Read More
Science Teaches The Obvious
"Chronic Happiness" Is The Key To Success, Researchers Say Okay, if you say so. Of course, "chronic happiness" is probably the definition of success. That’s what I say.
Cute Overload
If you are reading this, that means Typepad has worked out its error, which has prevented people like me from blogging for a day or so, and forced readers like you to view a somewhat dated "backup" version of No, You Can’t Have A Pony!. These things happen. Still, if it reoccurs and you’re feeling blue, let me recommend this … Read More
Edgar Renteria Traded To Braves
That leaves the Red Sox without a shortstop. TEN REASONS WHY THE RED SOX SHOULD MAKE ME THEIR SHORTSTOP: (10) I’ll play for "almost nothing", which in professional baseball terms means five times as much as I make now. And I won’t ask for any raises. Promise. (9) My lack of shortstop experience will lull the opposing teams into a … Read More
In My Life
I was a freshman at Tufts University on December 8, 1980. It was a rather dreary day outside as I recall, although I also recall not going outside — I was in the midst of studying for finals. My first college finals, in fact. And because I was intimidated by the unknown, I was studying hard and diligently. At that … Read More
Foto Funnies
Someone snapped this amusing picture recently in New York: It’s not clear what’s going on and why, but it reminded me of this: Right?
Bigfoot Sightings Getting Even More Ridiculous
New photos have emerged, reportedly showing Bigfoot. They were snapped on Silver Star Mountain in Washington State. Take a look at the photo on the right (click on it to enlarge to a separate window). This is an unretouched enlargement of one of the photos (all posted at this site). I can clearly make the outlines of a parka (the … Read More
The Weblog Awards
I wasn’t nominated for a Weblog Award. Not a surprise since I am currently ranked #19333 out of the 50,000 blogs tracked by Truth Laid Bear’s ecosystem. That, and the fact that my content sucks, probably is why. Still, if you travel the blogosphere, you should vote. And if you want to find some good new sites, you should check … Read More
Animals Hate Us
Swine flu, African bees, avian flu . . . that’s bad enough. But now we have to deal with communist killer squirrels? (Related thought: "Communist Killer Squirrels" would be a great name for a blog.)

Whither Damon?
I’m no armchair general office guy, but it seems to me that Johnny Damon has been the key to Red Sox success. At the top of the lineup, he gets on base, and that helps when the #3 and #4 slots come in. He may be more important that Manny or Ortiz (although, of course, not both of them combined). … Read More
Love Lasts A Year
Italian scientists (and really, what else would they study?) have proved it: Some couples may disagree, but romantic love lasts little more than a year, Italian scientists believe. The University of Pavia found a brain chemical was likely to be responsible for the first flush of love. Researchers said raised levels of a protein was linked to feelings of euphoria … Read More
