Last night I watched Cartoon Network’s [Adult Swim], specifically Space Ghost: Coast-to-Coast. It got me remembering the time I met David Carradine at a convention. George Lowe, the voice of Space Ghost, was also there and I met him as well. But back to Carradine. He was scheduled to arrive at 3pm. I got to…
Read MoreTo the punks who stole my garbage can lid, The winter season is upon us. As such, the horrific winds and snows this time of year can be quite brutal. That is why it caused much dismay to see my garbage can unlidded. The sight of naked garbage on the curbside in 20-degree temperature is…

I’d hate to bite the hand that will potentially feed me, but I have no choice. As we advance in the methods of communication, we lose quality in what is said. I’m sure the more lucid of us knows what I mean, however all those “l33t” folk may be a tad lost. So, let me…

Read MoreOne of my meager goals in life is to one day have someone, anyone, quote me… and quote me correctly with proper citation, etc. It doesn’t have to be taken in context; nothing worth noting ever is taken in context. Nor does it have to shed upon me a positive light; the citation could be…
Read MoreEvery November at the Calvary Presbyterian Church, SI NY, there is an event called the Thistle Fair. It’s your typical church basement fair but with a Scottish twist. There are tables for toys, books, and an “attic” table full of second hand stuff that is the same year to year. I figure why buy when…
Read MoreDid you ever have one of those days, you know, where you’re ridding the bus and you come across the embodiment of everything that’s wrong in the world? No? Well, friend, sit down and listen… His name is Jamie. And, I know his name is Jamie, because his mom kept yelling it out every minute…
