One of my new favorite shows (which actually started last year) is CASTLE on ABC. It’s about a mystery writer that is “consulting” with the police. Actually he’s just using his pull with the mayor’s office to follow a detective to use her as a model for his new book character.
I really like this show; [...]

There was a great segment on “To the Best of Our Knowledge”, on NPR today. It’s very imforative about how outsiders see Christian Rock music. I also liked that Radosh seemed to really enjoy the Cornerstone Festival.
Here’s the blurb from the TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE website: Daniel Radosh is the author of “Rapture [...]

I heard the competition from the Department of Energy had ended, this morning. It’s pretty cool. I look forward to having a house off the grid some day.
The one thing for me is, I’m not big into modern/contemporary architecture. I understand about needing certain designs for efficiency’s sake. But to me, contemporary designs tend to [...]

I woke up this morning with my heart pounding from a bad, bad dream:
I dreamt that I was getting my hair trimmed of dead ends, but the girl cut off 3 inches and charged me $200.
It was awful!

I have to say that I LOVE the new(ish) Brad Paisley song “Welcome to the Future” from is American Saturday Night album.
Usually this type of song – the ones that look into our general, collective pasts and futures – are nostolgic and melancholy; wishing for the “good ol’ days”. As if those days will always be [...]

My poor Jenner-cat spent last weekend in the “hospital”. He had a “blocked urethra” which basically means he couldn’t pee.

This is really, really bad.
With the urethra blocked, the bladder fills and can’t be released. Which in turn stops the kidneys from working. Obviously this is very bad and is a cruel way to die.

Last night Scottish folk singer Jim Malcom was in town. I first heard him singing with the group Old Blind Dogs, a scottish group that sings celtic folk, but with jazz, blues and rock influences; a group I love.
And Jim has a beautiful voice. Most people describe it as velvet – and that’s very accurate.

Okay, as I’ve mentioned in previous posts this “digital revolution” is not advancing the cause of television. I went from 3 channels – I don’t do cable – to 1 when analog was dropped.
NBC is the only channel in my area that doesn’t need help. CBS is by far the worst signal of all, but [...]

So, I have to tell this story:
This evening my brother and I went to eat at one of the local spots – it has a burger madness on Sundays, so you can eat a good dinner really cheap. They also have the best veggie burgers ever! And yeah, I know that sounds like an oxymoron.
Anyway, [...]
