Landmark Forclosure

Friday, July 26th, 2002

One of our nation’s greatest treasures is being forced to close it doors, and no one seems to be able to do anything to stop it. That’s right, San Francisco’s Musee Mechanique will close its doors in September. If you are like I was, you have never heard of this rare “diamond in the rough”, […]

Everything Comes Full Circle

Tuesday, July 23rd, 2002

Since returning from vacation, I have set myself on course to get my Driver’s License. I write about it here because it is an extremely circular and frustrating system to be involved in, and I am sure you can all relate. The states may be different, but the arbitrary nature of the process is the […]

Just Wondering…

Does anyone else find it odd Miss Piggy orders three of Dennys’ Grand Slam Breakfast Specials with bacon? I mean, would she really eat bacon? She is a pig after all, isn’t that sacreligious or something? I know both Dennys and the Muppets are celebrating their 25th Anniversaries, but choose your spokesperson…er spokespig wisely. To […]

Rattle, Rattle, Tug, Tug

What is the deal with people in public restrooms? Having just returned from vacation, I feel I have to say something. In case you didn’t know this, if the restroom door is locked, that means it is occupied! I am in the airport taking care of business and someone tugs on the door, discovers it […]

Senseless Execution

Tuesday, July 2nd, 2002

I continue to be shocked by the stupidity of others. I know I don’t have any children of my own, but I do have common sense, and I have been inside a hot car before. I am disgusted by the fact 2 more children were tortured to death inside their mother’s Dodge Neon so she […]

Hail To The Chief

Monday, July 1st, 2002

The President of the United States of America paid a visit to C-town today and gave a speech here at my work; it was a traffic nightmare, and the talk of the town. Like him or hate him, it was an honor to have him here. The best part of the day was the lively […]

Are You Kidding Me?

Saturday, June 29th, 2002

Sometimes, I get so unbelievably angry with our justice system; there is a man here in Northeast Ohio who has been convicted of 17 DUI’s and he is about to stand trial for his 18th! How is he still a member of society? Free a few pot heads if there is no room for him […]

A Question of Beliefs?

Thursday, June 27th, 2002

My mother called me yesterday and said, “get on your website and start writing about the Pledge of Allegiance, and make sure you tell that man in California to give away all of his money because it has “In God We Trust On It’”. Before I could even address her frantic plea, I hear a […]

To Help The Needy?

Wednesday, June 26th, 2002

If there is one thing good we learned from September 11th, it is, most people have a really good heart and want to help each other. The outpouring of support and donations was astonishing. The distribution of those gifts of generosity was not. Now the country is faced with raging fires in the West and […]

Zoinks…

Monday, June 24th, 2002

It’s the most hotly contested race of the season; no, it’s not a sporting event, it’s a box office tally. Americans have become obsessed with being number one, so much so, our children are now discussing box office grosses before they will consider going to see a picture. I miss the good old days when […]
