I’m all for the Green message. I’m just a little concerned that it’s becoming dumbed down to the point of dogma. Dogma never leads to a solution, just hedging and platitudes.


I was in California last week. It was a good trip but different. With the wedding in Roseville, the Monterey Jazz Festival in, er, Monterey and the flight at SFO, there was a lot more traveling and such than socializing.


I need help! Help me. I’m taking off work for the entire week of Christmas, right. I was thinking of going on a road trip but I have no idea where to go. Someone suggested Boston. Thought I’d go to Scullers Jazz Club there but … no. I was [...]


Sulkies; bagpipes; yule logs; fishing lures.
Okay, Paul. Here you go.
I want to see the Milky Way. I want to go somewhere, lay out on the hood of my car, and watch the Milky Way Galaxy through a pair of binoculars. I want to see thousands of stars as they were thousands and [...]


Currituck? Coinjock? Ocracoke. Hmmmm. Try my nuts. I got my crabs from Dirty Dicks.
I’m back, suckas.
Yes, I was gone for a week. If you recognize any of those names or phrases then you know from whence I have returned from. I just got back from Hatteras Island a few [...]


I am a lazy bastard.
I pretty much slept all day today. It was beautiful out there, too. And now I’m at work but only for internet access purposes. My DSL at home is still down. Verizon, you better not even try to charge for me this. I think we need [...]

too bad except there were a zillion tolls along the way.  Luckily,
I have EZ-Pass.  The resort was nice, too.  Pools, hot [...]

I’m in Texas. I’m too tired to write anything today but there isn’t much to report. I may have some ramblings in the morning. But so far so good. Everything’s going well except for all the junk I’m eating.

They name washes here. Arroyos or whatever they are: Rattlesnake Wash, Dead Man’s Wash, and my favorite the Holy Moses Wash. Hooooly Moses!! Wash!
I’m at a Motel 6 in Albuquerque right now. I got here a few hours ago and have just been chillin’. I never get to hotels this early. Watching [...]


Saigon. I can’t believe I’m still in Saigon.
Actually, I’m in Pasadena. It’s Wednesday morning. I made it to Pasadena last night at about midnight. Tonight at about 8pm I’ll arrive in Flagstaff, AZ. Once there I’ll look at my finances and see if I have enough green and energy to see the Grand Canyon.
Friday
But anyway, [...]
