Samuel Wright Did you ever notice that vacation, in many cases, is more trouble than it is worth? Sure… you are away from work, having a good time and enjoying life. Times are good, life is good… maybe you might even find yourself in some island hide-away or on some isolated beach somewhere. Drinking a frosty adult … Read more
I have decided to revert the blog back to a simpler appearance. While I liked the “Old West” feel of the old theme, it was apparent that this was slowing things down a bit. So… in an effort to make the site more appealing to those that may find it… I have opted for simplicity … Read more
A while back the wife and I watched a movie called Crank. This was not really something that I was looking forward to, but to make the wife happy, I relented. I knew she had a thing for Jason Statham, and I really think that this is the only reason she wanted to see it. … Read more
So… a couple weeks ago Battlestar Galactica ended. I really liked this show, a lot. But like Babylon 5, years before, the writers were smart, and instead of creating an open ended storyline that would keep going until it was little more than an excuse to keep a franchise running (… can anyone say “Enterprise”?), … Read more

So… after almost twenty years with AT&T, feeding the giant, so to say, the wife and I have decided to move our phone line to Vonage. I am sure that this evokes images of the silly commercials and the famed “Woo Hoo” song by the “5,6,7,8’s” who sang the song in the first installment of … Read more
Over the weekend, the world lost a true radio legend. Paul Harvey was a radio fixture for several decades. He was always a pleasure to listen to and I could always count on him to make me feel better when there seemed to be nothing but bad news on the air that day. I always … Read more
The other day a co-worker found out that I listen to Sean Hannity during the day while I am at work. His first response was; “You’re listening to Hannity all the time now, so now you’re not even going to pretend you’re an Independent anymore?” First off, this is not the first time someone has … Read more
