I’d like to think that I had a better than average week this week. It started out poorly as the Padres lost to the Rockies in a play in game and despite the fact that the umpire blew the call that gave the Rockies the win, I accept the loss… Read More »Johnny Consumer
Every year I feel myself compelled to go down to the B&SVRR when they are scamming small children and draining the coffers of their parents with Thomas the Tank. I admit that it really isn’t their doing. They put on a pretty good show. There is a magician and a… Read More »Thomas the Scam
FNSC added a new auxiliary member this past Friday. Jason Baier joined us on the patio at La Carreta on a brisk summer night. His name will now go down in the annals of history with other Auxiliary Members of FNSC: Jesse Howard Teresa Kahler Dustin Jackson That Kristy girl… Read More »FNSC Auxiliary Member
There are probably only two people out there that understand what this is all about. That is okay, I’m really writing this because I need to vent some frustration (which has actually already dissipated) and because I borrowed something from Jay to make this possible and if I didn’t go… Read More »One Question IQ Test
Thanks to Jay calling me at 3:30 in the morning I was able to drag myself out of bed and head out to the Harrier Marsh Wildlife Management Area. This has long been one of my favorite places to go sky watching and Tuesday morning found it abandoned. Perfect conditions.… Read More »Eclipsed
Last night we had FNSC at The Colorado Grill. My mind began to wander towards the next day. I was considering going to see “Resurrecting the Champ” but I did not want to go alone. I turned to Willy and asked him about his plans for the next day. Willy… Read More »A Crossroads

Over the last week I have had to face a couple of hard truths. The first truth is that the Pope isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Or perhaps I’m wrong and during this time of religious bickering, it was a smart thing to piss off Jews and Protestants… Read More »Time to Come Clean
Who is up for a random collection of pictures that come without descriptions? Perhaps including a picture of the worst John Wayne statue I have ever seen and pictures of some really sweaty dudes.
At the conclusion of Supper Club tonight, I convinced Willy and Jay to throw around a frisbee so I could play with a freeware program known as Hugin. This program will stitch several images together for you to make a panorama. What lies below isn’t great art, but I think… Read More »Hugin
What this entry lacks in substance it makes up for in size. Just a few things to get off my chest, including some random pictures without a description. A couple of weeks ago the American Film Institute released their list of the 100 best American movies of all time. The… Read More »Unloading
Chapter 8: False Sense of Entitlement Friday Night Supper Club has been in existence for over a year now. Since its existence, there have been three members. We are just like the three musketeers, without the intrigue, sword fighting and problems with the Cardinal Guards. Willy is Porthos. Jay is… Read More »Minutia – Chapter 8: False Sense of Entitlement
I have received several request for more information on the “I towed the store manager at Duff’s car” story. I am posting a copy of an e-mail that I sent to Jay about it. Jay already knows all about Dasher Mismanagement, but in case you don’t I’ll fill you in… Read More »Chapter 2 Addendum
Chapter 4: Failure Thomas Edison failed on his first 100 attempts to invent the light bulb. When asked if he was upset with all of his failures he responded that they weren’t failures. He had learned 100 different ways not to invent the light bulb. I think of that story… Read More »Minutia – Chapter 4: Failure
Chapter 3: Tenderloining It! Tenderloining it! I’m sure if you were to rush to your dictionary you would fail to find the term “tenderloining” anywhere within its pages. One of the great things about language is the fact that it is constantly evolving. What was not a word, a correct… Read More »Chapter 3: Tenderloining It!
Chapter 2: Beans I do not get many e-mails at work. The ones I get are either related to a phone system failure that doesn’t affect me, the aisle copier being broken, new orders, or loaner requests. If I get a personal e-mail it is usually a link to read… Read More »Minutia – Chapter 2: Beans
After what could only be described as an extended absence, today I return to the blog world with full force. I have planned for this thin slice of cyberspace a monster of a blog. There will be 14 parts to this blog. When it has completely unraveled, it might be… Read More »Minutia: Chapter 1
Mr. Wentworth came over to Boone this weekend. So it turned out to be a pretty good weekend. I took some pictures to remember the events that Bill’s presence triggered. First of all, I have completed the next picture to be hung in Salon 908. Below is a picture of… Read More »The Past Weekend
I went on a brief sojourn to Minnesota this past weekend. I had some pretty ambitious plans for a photo montage, but that fell through. So I put this little thing together to make me feel better about me. The Drink “This beer tastes like dog rectum. Jay let me… Read More »Something Out of Nothing
I have had difficulty in getting back in my mode to finish up this mostly uninteresting tale. It has been over a week since most of this stuff has transpired. My memory of the events may be more than a little bit foggy. I’ll do my best recollect these events… Read More »Reflections on the Last Few Days (Part III)
So I lost my mode on Friday and haven’t been able to get it back. I know there are those of you who are sitting on the edge of your seats waiting for Part III of Reflections on the Last Few Days. I just haven’t been able to get into… Read More »Lost My Mode
