It Snowed Today in Houston
by

It snowed today in Houston. I know that to most of you it is “no big deal”. But to Houstonians, well we might go five or six years between snows. As political animals we tend to get all caught up in our worries. The economy, the war, global hoaxing, The O’ssiah, and the Gotterdammercrats. But sometimes we don’t stop and take time to consider the really important things in life.... more » Tuesday, October 6
College Rankings - My formula. Who did you beat?
by
impudent
on Tue 06 Oct 2009 07:37 AM PDT
After the fifth weekend of College football, the rankings are full of biases, silliness, and laziness. I have a system that only takes the polls into consideration one time. The poll ranking is only used as a starting point.
The teams are ranked into eight groups, highest to lowest. You get eight points for beating a top team and only one point for beating a team in the lowest ranking. ... more »

This past weekend I attended the Greek Festival in downtown Houston. MMMM! lots of good souvlaki, gyros, baklava, and other treats. Nice Greek music and dancing. And here are some debutants who posed for me in their Greek costumes.

Micheal Jackson? What the hell is this!?!?!
by

on Fri 26 Jun 2009 09:26 AM PDT
Well, Micheal Jackson, the so called King of Pop died yesterday of heart failure. Micheal and I grew up together as I am also fifty years old and remember watching him and his family in their first ever appearance on the old Ed Sullivan show. He suffered the fate of many child stars and certainly never had a normal life.
But I was amazed, and a bit appalled at all ... more » Wednesday, April 29

Maybe we should just stop teaching the classics.

on Thu 18 Dec 2008 10:00 AM PST
Years ago, I floated through high school and college without reading many of the classic novels of literature. I did read Moby Dick, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Animal House, Anna Karenina, and Ivanhoe. That is about it. For all the rest of my book reports I relied on Cliff Notes, or Comics Illustrated (an invaluable source).
Lately I decided to make up for the past and actually try ... more »

According to Seth Godin at "Seth Godin's Blog", The Greatest Blogs are those who are leaders of a tribe. (Hat tip Newmark's Door)
Garr Reynolds doesn't try to teach everyone about Powerpoint... instead, he leads a tribe of people committed to changing the way the world communicates in meetings. Go down the list. Hugh leads a tribe. Josh leads a tribe. So does Mitch. And Guy, who just ... more » Thursday, November 20

The End of an Era
From 1661 to 2008, It was a good run. From time to time in the course of human events there exists new Ideas and new was of thinking. These can have a profound effect upon history either for good or bad. It is my belief that this nation, and Great Britain before it, followed a new way of thinking, which arose during the enlightenment, much ... more » Wednesday, August 13

It's that time of the year again. Here are my picks. They are not like everybody Else's.
 Tim Tebow (superman?) Number 1: USC Hey, I hate it, but they will probably be number one. Just too much talent, and good coach. 2: Oklahoma - The Sooners have underperformed last two years, but you can't write off Stoops for very long. 3: Florida - I look for them to win the ... more » Tuesday, July 15

Well, at least that is the opinion I spouted until last summer. more » Wednesday, May 21

This Thing called Adoption

About four years ago, in my mid-forties, I had an overwhelming
desire to be a father. The desire had been there for a long time,
slowly gaining strength. My wife and I had never had that as a high
priority before, My wife had several medical problems and we always had
a hard time with jobs and finances.
Working as I did in the oilfield, it was all up and down, several jobs I had were lost ... more » Monday, February 11

WOW! an actual post! yeah, it's been a while, but no one reads me anyway, so what the hell.
I often have free time in public places, shopping, waiting rooms etc. And I find that I must blot out the constant barrage of overplayed 60's and 70's pop and rock music which is invariably bombarding me in these public places. So I carry my cheap Ipod knock off with me everywhere I go. (Sanyo Sandisk, highly recommended) But I get ... more » Wednesday, January 9

Black Snake Moan - a film review
by

on Sun 06 Jan 2008 04:13 AM PST
Black Snake Moan is one hell of a movie. It was released early in 2007 and got very mixed reviews, either you love it or hate it.
 The movie was written and directed by Craig Brewster. I have to give it a total thumbs up. Being a moviegoer for many years I am very jaded. It is not easy to give me something new, something fresh. This is definitely different from all the other crap out there. Samuel ... more » |
