Mr. 3000
Rating: **
It says a lot about a film, when thirty minutes into it I have to turn to my wife and ask,
“This is a comedy, right?”
It would be another 20 minutes before I managed my first laugh. The film, in its entirety garnered only one other actual laugh from me. Unlaughing and all, it […]

The Hot Topic: Technology

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. This week’s Hot Topic was created and edited by me. Yeah Me! Beware of the usual language, as some of my compatriates are as foul mouthed as ever.

CD Review: Jerry Garcia Band - Pure Jerry: Theatre 1839

Jerry Garcia was a guitar playing mofo-son-of-a-ho. For thirty years he played 100+ shows with the Grateful Dead annually.

The mind mush reels wondering […]

A Pleasant Weekend

Saturday, the in-laws came up for a visit. We decided to take a picnic lunch at the Brown County State park. Figuring this was the last weekend to catch the changing leaf colors, we hurried out even though the cloud covers looked like rain. Luckily we got no rain, and even the sun poked its […]

The Hot Topic: What’s Your Vibe, What’s Your Scene?

I know, I know, once again I’ve been really lax about posting. I’d promise to do better, but we should all know better than that by now. The motivation for blogging is really low right now, there are just too many other distractions. At least my pals at the Hot Topic have locked me into […]
