The USGS announced the possibility of an eruption from Mt St. Helen’s within the next few days. Does this mean armageddon is near? Volcanos, hurricanes, earthquakes, Jimmy Fallon’s new movie? These are all signs of the apocalypse, my friends. Get your bread, milk and toilet paper while you still can.Thank you, ABC programming [...]

There was no home game for the Cubs in Chicago this weekend — but you could easily tell they scored by listening for cheers out the window in Wrigleyville. They do love their baseball in Chicago.On late night Friday night we went to a bar called Cesar’s for drinks and dinner with Carrie and friend [...]

I was just watching some NBC4-”WeatherCenter” Promo - and they showed a clip of the tornados that hit the DC area last weekend while I was away. They showed my f’ing neighborhood — apparently it touched down about a half mile away from my apartment…crazy.In testing a scanner last night Papa Z sent me [...]

An 11-year old allegedly raped a 76-year old woman. America: We put the fun in “FUNDING NEEDED TO HELP THE MIS-GUIDED YOUTHS.” The 11-year old called out “Hi, Mom!” in the courtroom after spotting his mom during arraignment.

Thankfully, the replenishing qualities of water and iced tea also assisted in me not dying.Myself , Carrie, Megan G, Tom C, Matt K and about 75,000 other people ventured into Austin’s [...]

I’m leaving for Texas today. (Fun trivia: The banner above is the Barton Springs bridge in Austin.) Pics and stories from the Lone Star State coming soon. I will attempt to stand in the middle of the street and shout “THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE BIG AND BRIGHT”, and see what happens. According to the [...]

Carrie and I discovered them when going through the insane schedule for Austin City [...]

I forgot to mention yesterday, this past weekend I happened to be listening to DC’s WASH-FM. Yes, I said WASH-FM. They announced that 10th caller wins tickets to the Big Apple Circus — and yours truly won a 4-pack of tickets to the Circus appearing in VA as well as qualified for a grand prize [...]
