Tour de Spaghetti

11/9/2008 – 8:39 am

Last night, Tim and I decided to walk over to The Old Spaghetti Factory from our home. It seemed like a simple enough task. It's by the river. We're by the river. We can see the blue lights that surround TOSF from the curb. It seemed simple enough.
I think it is only about 500 [...]

One minute after the polls on the west coast closed, it was decided.

One reason I like Country Music

11/1/2008 – 9:50 pm

Woof! what's not to like?

One of my regrets is that I missed seeing James Blundell in concert when I was in Australia. He was scheduled to be in a little lounge in some tiny town where we were on the day after we left. I wish I had rearranged my schedule and taken [...]

Halloween or Politics

10/30/2008 – 8:28 am

Today is the day before Halloween, 2008. I changed the side bar of picture to jack-o-lanterns. I'd like to post more Halloween stuff, but I found this amazing political video instead.
The folks at 236.com have superimposed video clips from the three presidential debates together. It's really amazing. Hearing McCain and Obama making statements in one [...]

More Taco Tests

10/5/2008 – 7:55 pm

Ewwww. We just ate at Taco Bueno in Grand Prairie. Taco Bueno is like Taco Time - it's a regional competitor to Taco Bell. I grew up eating at Taco Bueno, but for the life of me I can't think why.
We had two #8s from the big picture menu. For the uninitiated a [...]

McTechnology

10/2/2008 – 9:56 pm

I've been to two McDonalds drive thru this week and both times when I pulled up to the speaker, I was asked if I wanted to try their new something-or-other.
Both times I was initially shocked because the voice enunciated clearly and precisely, with nary a hint of an accent.
As soon as I said no, each [...]

Scary McDonalds Story

9/27/2008 – 9:42 am

Here's an article about a 12 year old McDonalds burger. The author is clearly anti-McDonalds. But they make a powerful point.
The burger on the left is from 1996, the one on the right was just purchased. The 12 year old burger has not been frozen, or had any special treatment except that [...]

Tie Dye-a-rama

9/7/2008 – 9:16 pm

Tonight was the annual Tie Dye party that we have for the youth at the church. It's the fourth time I've done it, and I think I'm getting much better at it.
This little orange number is one I made tonight that is different from any I've ever made. I think it came out quite [...]

Since 1980

9/2/2008 – 1:16 am

It occurs to me that I've been listening to ABBA music for almost 35 years with the rest of the world. Actually, I've known about ABBA since around 1975, but I've really only been listening since about 1980. So I might have some catching up to do with the other folks everywhere.
While sitting through [...]
