Jeff Beck in Philadelphia - a Concert without a Mic

I had the privilege of seeing Jeff Beck last night in the Philly venue called the Electric Factory.  This is the second incarnation of the Electric Factory in Philly, as far as I know.  I have no idea what the original looked like but this one is pretty much a dump.  It’s a warehouse that [...]

Bloody Cat Followup

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post about the local tumult and a hundred square feet of bloody paw printed carpet, the cat injured himself yesterday.   When I last wrote, he was stationed on his own personal fluffy towel on the kitchen floor (blood comes off lineoleum better than carpet, I suspect).  My wife was going [...]

Arizona’s Sheriff Joe Does it Again. With Animals!

Just received via Rumormillnews:
You  all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who  painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates  wear pink prison garb. Well………
SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!
Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff  Joe offered to take the department [...]

Semi-Guilty non-Guitar Pleasures

Being a guitar player above most else, my music collection tends to reflect this (to what some would say is an extreme).  After many years of playing, I discovered that every song did not, in fact, have to feature primarily guitars and solos.
It’s not like I haven’t been a fan of Joe Cocker since the [...]

The Unconventional Story of How I Met my Wife

Something Happened at Target….

I don’t get out much.   This is not a surprise to the readers (or anyone who knows me).  There are several very complex reasons why I don’t get out much but suffice it to say that I wind up preferring the Great Indoors.
However, every now and then I seem to get the idea that I [...]

D.C. War Criminals (and other good news)

In July, Condoleeza Rice was in New Zealand and had to flee because she was being chased by one hundred fifty people calling for her arrest, motivated by a ten thousand dollar bounty.  The crowd tried to arrest her under the Geneva Convention, for war crimes and authorizing torture!
It’s so nice to finally be able [...]

hitchhiker trilogy to expand to six books…

WIth all the crap in the news, including the glorious continuation of wealth transfer via financial institution, it’s positively heartwarming to note that Jean Belson, widow of Douglas Adams, asked Eoin (it’s anybody’s guess) Colfer to write the sixth book in the Hitchhiker trilogy.
Mr Colfer has written a number of books, including the children’s book [...]
