Three Years Ago Today

“Shock and Awe” by Neil Young Back in the days of “mission accomplished” Our chief was landing on the deck The sun was setting on a golden photo op Back in the days of “mission accomplished” Thousands of bodies in the ground Brought home in boxes to a trumpet’s sound No one sees them coming […]

Hybid Cars (You Need to Get You One)

April 29, 2006.Reading time 19 minutes.

Disclaimer: I am not unbiased about Hybrid Cars. I have drunk deeply from the Hybrid-hype Kool Aid. I am a Hybrid evangelist. If Hybrid owners had a religion, I would be a Scientologist. All that said, my message today is very simple: you need to get you one of ’em. See, I know that loses […]

MySpace.com

April 28, 2006.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Seem like everybody’s doing it…so, so have I. I have a page on MySpace.com. I pause to reflect that this perhaps marks the exact moment in MySpace.com history when it is officially no longer “hip.” Be that as it may, I’d love for you to stop by and download the songs. And if you are […]

Immigration Misinformation

April 26, 2006.Reading time 11 minutes.

A follow up to my writing on the MegaMarch… A lot of email friends forward me “chain” emails. Often, they are harmless (and sometimes very funny) jokes.Sometimes, they are heart-wrenching stories of little children in need of kidney dialysis.

Digital Music

Sometimes it’s even less, which I can’t explain, really….it must be something in their pricing plan. MusicMatch and […]

Yesterday, the entire DFW Metroplex became a believer in global warming. Yesterday –April 17, 2006– the recorded high temperature was 101 degrees. April Seventeenth. Today, I believe the high was one hundred…or ninety-nine…or some other ridiculously high number. It doesn’t really matter one degree or another…it was insanely hot. Mind you, we’re used to this […]

Trust Reunion’s Not In Vain (About the Trip Back to Sequoyah

April 19, 2006.Reading time 19 minutes.

In both the ancient languages of Greek and Hebrew, the words for “wind” and the words for “spirit” are exactly the same. So, there is something deeply spiritual about being with a group of people who help you test where the winds are blowing. I think that, in the more recent years since my Sequoyah-time […]

An Incredible Chicago Show and the Stone of Sisyphus

April 18, 2006.Reading time 11 minutes.

Every year, one of the large law firms in town, Baron and Budd, throws an elaborate Christmas party. To call it a Christmas party does not begin to give you a sense of the scale of the thing. It’s held at the estate of Fred Baron and Lisa Blue. They invite several thousand of their […]
