I doubt that Roy Pearson is going to board the clue train – after all, he’s already 57 years old and probably set in his stupid ways -  but at least he’s no longer judging administrative cases in Washington, D.C.   According to the Washington Post, this administrative law judge who sued a local dry cleaner [...]

In yesterday’s post here, I mentioned the poorly managed Colorado Rockies baseball team.  Today a Denver Post sports columnist reviews the details of just how bad it is.
I feel sorry for the true Rockies fans out there.  It has to really hurt.  A team of fine young players makes it to the World Series against [...]

My tolerance for US broadcast network “news” – ABC, CBS, NBC – has diminished to the point where I can’t stand to have them on TV in my house, even if I’m in another room doing something important like sorting out my sock drawer at the time.   So I wasn’t surprised to read today that CBS’s Lesley Stahl [...]

First snow of the season

It fell on Sunday morning.  By Monday afternoon - yesterday – it was going fast.  Solar snow removal – we’re good at that around here.

So much for my attempt to buy World Series tix online from the Colorado Rockies yesterday, promptly at 9 a.m.   I just got a popup screen that after a long attempt, wouldn’t load.  Turns out that a big crash happened, few tix got sold, lots of sob stories to delight the local reporters.  The Denver Post [...]

Window or aisle seat?

One thing about digital photography:  you can take literally hundreds of pictures in a short time.  Especially if you carry spare batteries and memory cards – which I do.   But another thing about digital photography:  you have to do something with all those pictures you took.
I’ve been editing the photos I took on a few [...]

Sometimes things aren’t what they seem at first glance.  My current life, for instance.
A casual observer – although I don’t see anybody else around here – would look at my life these days and say I am lazing around.  Goofing off.  Maybe even (and chills run down my arms as I type this) Letting Myself Go.
After all, [...]

Because late last night, the fifteenth day of Rocktober, 2007, the Colorado Rockies defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in a baseball game at Coors Field. Which means:  THE ROCKIES ARE  NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPS – AND PLAYING IN THE WORLD SERIES!!!!  And if we weren’t at the game, we were probably awake at home, taking it all [...]

Although you won’t find my name anywhere on this blog, I’ve written enough that you could probably learn my identity with very little trouble, if you really wanted to.
I think it’s about time that I published a recent picture.  So here’s one, taken today:

Adjusting the truth

In George Clooney’s excellent new film, Michael Clayton, I don’t recall seeing the main characters dining.  They plot, scheme, react, go nuts, negotiate, manipulate, argue, fret, and work around the clock.  They even sit down at a restaurant table.  But we don’t see them consuming food.  With one exception, food only appears with the minor [...]

Weather report

Woke up to a cool rainy autumn morning.
I’ve only looked at it through the windows so far.

Car parked at the courthouse

  Spotted one day last June. 
I wonder if they were there to file the divorce papers.

Stuff on my desk

My desk is never as interesting as Saintseester’s.  But today I had to take this picture. 
The stuff on my desk this morning includes:

Receipts from my Peru trip to scan and add to my photo slideshow.
Clipping about Walgreens’ printer cartridge refill service (to remind me to find the closest store that does it).
Notepad and pen.
My new [...]
