Time: 1638 Opening Impressions: 1. We had a 2-hour delay today thanks to a couple of inches of snow that found its way out of the sky last night. The roads weren’t bad, but few of us could help wishing that schools would be shut down anyway. There’s nothing like getting up at 5 in…

Time: 1733 Opening Impressions: 1. Today’s date is 1/11/11, and those who make wishes at 11:11 a.m. were absolutely delirious with hope that their wishes would most certainly come true today. I missed it, unfortunately, as I was in the middle of class. 2. Schools closed early one hour today so that students’ lives would…

(photo credit: New York Times) Yesterday, I posted a video on my Facebook wall of an interview with the mother of Christina Taylor Green, the 9 year old girl who was killed in the Tuscon seige over the weekend. If you don’t know the story, Christina was born On September 11, 2001, and her father…

I’m tired. It’s Friday, and it’s been a long week. Do you know what I mean? I treated myself today, though, to a little dip into the past. I bought myself a Digital Police/Fire Scanner, one that is head and shoulders above the one we had when I was a kid. I grew up in…

I tell ya. I get no respect around here. Probably the biggest thing I’ve noticed since getting the Bug is the lack of respect I’m given by other drivers. When I was in the Jeep, few people ever cut me off, pulled in front of me, or challenged me in any way. I think that,…

I’ve been keeping my eye on the used camera stock in our local (and very reputable) photo shops. Just a few weeks ago, a Nikon D300s with the MB-D10 battery grip came in for resale. It was a recent purchase, too. A lifelong customer of this particular shop had purchased the camera in August. Sadly,…

I am proud to say that I am now the happy owner of a VW bug. This is a car that I have wanted to have for a long time, and I could not be happier when I’m in it. I really mean that. It’s like a happy meal on wheels, without all the nasty…

(Image, “January Stars,” by Nicc Balce. Check out all of Nicc’s great work at http://robotnicc.deviantart.com/gallery/) I’m a huge George Winston fan (solo piano), and I’ve got most of his works. He’s most popular for releasing seasonal collections (Autumn, December, Winter into Spring, and Summer), but he’s also got a solid collection of thematic CDs (Montana,…
