They Shoot Lectures, Don’t They?
Don’t be confused by a stretched attempt to create a clever title, tilting back to the 1969 movie by Sydney Pollack. And I am not advocating violence… For a fun romp, see what else pops up on Google for this search: * They Shoot Horses but Vaccinate Dogs Immune deficiency diseases in animals – are […]

Suns Are The Real Deal
Something unusual happened in the NBA this year. The game actually got exciting. There is action, points are being scored. I went to a Phoenix Suns game about 3 years ago (someone felt bad because they forgot to show up for a meeting and offered to share me his ticket, I encouraged him to miss […]

Archive Templates As Summaries

Podless No More (thanks Mom!)
My tirade of being an iPodless podcaster are no more! That’s correct, pod fans, I have a new iPod Shuffle, courtesy of my Mom in Florida as a birthday gift– I had put it on my list of “wishes”, so in her words: I don’t know what it is or what it does, but the […]
