  • Head Games

    Ok. I’m dating myself here, but I remember when I was a young man there was a head shop that I would go to occasionally. Now, I don’t want to sound too naive, but I honestly didn’t know what the real reason for the headshop was! I would go for three reasons: the incense, the… Continue reading

  • Mother Nature’s Son…

    Great song. And I am one! Well not as much as I should be I guess. But the focus on this entry is purely Mother Nature. I am unfortunately at the UT Medical Center with my Mother and there is a UTMC TV selector. One of the channels is the “Relaxation Channel”. Now anyone who knows me will… Continue reading

  • Is Mother Nature ticked off?

    (Excerpt from an MSNBC article) Is Earth shaking more? The Ryukyu Islands of Japan were hit with a 7.0-magnitude quake on Friday night. News of that tremor, the Haiti quake and now Chile may make it seem as if Earth is becoming ever more active. But in the grand scheme of things, geologists say this… Continue reading

  • Chilean Earthquake…

    First and foremost, our hearts and prayers go out to the victims of the Chilean earthquake, just as in Haiti. And of course for anyone in the path of any potential tsunamis throughout the Pacific region. The one thing that is a glimmer of brightness, in my opinion, in all of these natural disasters is… Continue reading

  • The BBE!

    Ok… Informally, I am now in search of the Best Burger Ever! Here after referred to as the BBE. My friend Becky and I were discussing it tonight at… Yes the Red Pony… What could possibly constitute the BBE? Well, inarguably it must start with the “burger” part, the meat. So, it should be high quality… Continue reading

  • What this world needs is more sissy bars!

    And I’m not talking about any sort of drinking establishments! No, I’m talking about all the awesome accessories that our bicycles had when I was younger. I recall the most killer bike I had was a Western Auto one with a black seat with red racing stripes, butterfly handlebars, and a big ole sissy bar… Continue reading

  • Arrrrrr…. What’s yer pirate name?!

    My pirate name is: Bloody Harry Rackham You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it’s the open sea. For others (the masochists), it’s the food. For you, it’s… Continue reading

  • Everybody was Kung Fu…. Cooking?!

     [lips not synced with words…] “You are not worthy of my Kung Fu!” Oh how true this is at times. But what does Kung Fu really mean? Well in Chinese, Kung Fu is a term whose original meaning indicated a person’s expertise in some skill or craft. The term Kung Fu literally means effort over… Continue reading

  • Summer Olympics in Vancouver (Part deux)

    Ok. Speaking of the high athletic level of olympic athletes. Curling comes to mind. Now curling is the one sport that I think I could actually compete in. It is true that it takes a lot of dedication and practice to excel in that sport, but it’s also the only sport you can drink a… Continue reading

  • Summer Olympics in Vancouver

    The death of the Georgian luger has cemented in my mind just how dangerous olympic sports are, and at what high a level olympic atheletes perform. I can only imagine the countless hours Nodar Kumaritashvili had spent training himself for his sport. The level of dedication is staggering. His death is a staggering loss. To… Continue reading
