They don’t make it like they used to
I’m not sure, for the sake of my own sanity, that I should continue on this topic. This past Friday I ordered a pizza from Mimmo’s in Zambesi drive, and it turned out a disaster. I was told it would be a 15 minute wait. As in my previous article , I don’t really care if it’s... »
Pondering promptness, precision and perfection
This past Thursday night I spent at Tings & Times in Hatfield, my second visit there. The invite I got clearly stated that the bands playing are Gently Scar’d and Walt, in that order, starting at 8PM. Looking forward to returning there and the prospect of their simply delicious food, I made plans to... »
Hang around for a while
The object of my new affection, called a “Hangdog” made by Gecko grips. I’ve had it for a while, but it’s been long since I used it – had to clear out wasp nests in the pockets…. Anyways, with my new quest to climb spectacular routes, I’ll be spending a lot of time hanging... »
Mid week motivation
This is a bit of a guilt post. There’s been so many things I’ve wanted to write about, but somehow the inspiration to actually do it escaped me. A slight case of lost creativity, perhaps a proof of the use it or loose it philosophy? 2009’s been rough, good and exciting, all rolled into... »

That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, “OK, we will... »

Hello Darkness my old friend
From the DailyMail: “Britain faces the first widespread power blackouts since the 1970s because of looming energy shortages, Government documents reveal. For the first time, ministers are expecting that the supply of electricity will fail to meet demand at peak times. The Government is forecasting that by 2017 there will be power cuts of around... »
Well said….
Some random lyrics I like to kick off the weekend “And it feels right this time On his crash course with the big time Paid no mind to the distant thunder Today filled his head with wonder… boy Then it comes to be that the soothing light At the end of your tunnel Was just a freight train comin your way” Metallica... »
