I just realized that both places I’ve vacationed in this year (New Orleans, North Carolina Coast) have been subsequently trashed by hurricanes. It would probably be a good idea to stay away from me for the rest of this year. Or perhaps there’s a place you don’t like that I should visit. Los Angeles perhaps? …
That’s right, I’m gonna make my ’99 Honda CR-V supa-fly. Uhh, ok not really. I’m just getting a new stereo for it. I decided I wanted to listen to CarTalk (via my RadioShark) and some podcasts while I was driving to and from work. My commute is short enough that it’s not worth the effort …
Last week Anne and I realized it was September and we still hadn’t seen a Giants game yet this year. People are often selling them at work, so I grabbed a pair for $50: lower box near the leftfield corner. We debated whether or not to take Caltrain to the game. We’ve tried driving and …

“I was going to the Superdome and then I saw the two-mile line. I figure if I’m going to die, I’m going to die with cold beer and my best buds.” — Tony Peterson, a 42 year-old musician planning to stay on Bourbon Street through Hurricane Katrina
What’s this? It’s a baseball game. It’s a Red Sox game. It’s on my TV. But it’s a Thursday night and they aren’t playing a local team and I don’t have a satellite dish. This is amazing. Lately I’ve been getting annoyed that I couldn’t watch all but the rarest Red Sox game here on …
It seems that every day lately one of my friends announces that they’re having a kid. That’s great. Some of them even ask me for advice. That’s scary, especially since I might still be closer to being a kid than having one myself. But that won’t stop me from giving some advice anyway. I’ve never …
