radio station I can’t get the signal from here, so I have to get it via PC. Back in the day, I won four tickets to a Moody Blues concert, and we used them to see the band at Stanhope. Yeah, I still love this radio station. That is all.

Exit 208
Posted in Uncategorized on May 30, 2012 | 2 Comments »
We made it back from Minnesota in one piece. Exit 208 off I-70 in Ohio has a BP with a mini-mart that sells coffee. No big deal, right? Most of those sort of places have mini-marts with coffee machines. Well, this one sells “large” coffee and cappuccino for $1.25. Large is 16 oz. Take your […]

Hat tip: B This guy is a piece of work. He’s a self-published Nitwit extraordinare who happens to have the same publisher as . . . himself! The folks at Journalfen and Fantasy Faction had a field day with him. Bonus fun comes in the form of some of the comments to the OP at Journalfen. […]

He’s the guy who designed the iconic Raleigh Chopper. I had one of those, in royal blue, when I was a kid. Every other kid around had a Schwinn Sting-Ray. But, my Raleigh could pop better wheelies than their bikes. So . . . nyah, nyah. It was a sad day when my parents replaced […]

It’s about a 15 hour drive, without Ben, in each direction. We have to board him for a few nights. As much as we love him, there aren’t a whole bunch of motels or B&Bs in Minnesota that welcome dogs, crate or not. On the other hand, he spent his first seven months in a […]
Undead Press Screws (Another?) Writer

Hat tip: Jen Jen left a comment on a previous entry of mine pointing to Mandy DeGeit’s experience with yet another unprofessional “publisher,” Undead Press. For some reason, the name of that publisher rings a bell. Not a dinner bell, it’s more like the alarm bell in my office when we’d have fire drills. Unfortunately, […]
Successful Liberations

This week, I successfully liberated a couple of tree seedlings, and potted them in 3 gallon pots. I’m pretty sure that one is some sort of spruce, possibly Alberta, but we won’t know for sure until it gets to be about a foot tall. The other one is the one I’m insanely proud of — […]

Boyer Gets Really Annoying

Hat tip: Jeani Rector The Indiana Attorney General has decided that David Boyer is too small time to pursue. From Jeani: By all means, you have my permission. The more that is publicized about David Boyer, the more the writers are aware and thereby protected. Please print all of these aliases (which we know of […]

Hat tip: Lewis . . . on the way to his own grandmother’s funeral. From Nicky’s Twitter, we find this gem: Nickolaus A. Pacione @npacione Got lost on the way to the cemetery to bury my grandmother —#damn_it. Was 10 minutes late getting there I was supposed to be palbearer. I’m not sure how that is […]
