I’ve been driving the new Prius a lot and in general I love the thing, but I have a first complaint and suggestion. This thing needs a relatively quiet, alternate horn in addition to the normal load one it has for emergencies. Several times now I have nearly run over pedestrians when driving around parking […]
Update: Mr. Webb has a personal scheduling conflict that I don’t want to talk about here. I am still very happily supporting him in his campaign, but we are not having the fundraiser on Sunday. Please consider trying to meet him at another event on his schedule (posted on his campaign website (http://www.webbforsenate.com/). Contributions are […]
What an incredible feeling. I’ve been taking dance lessons for roughly 10 years and I have always had fun with it. Last night I entered the full silver/gold level all-arounds and lucked into Foxtrot, Viennese, Samba, and Bolero! They do not usually do Samba, but it is one of my favorite dances. I danced the […]
Well, it is time to face the fact that my 2001 Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon has become a lemon as it has aged. The truth is I love the ergonomics of the car and especially the ventilated seats so much that I have poured far more money than is sensible into keeping this thing running, […]
It has been almost a month since my employer graciously sent me to a Time Management class (April 25th). The class was contracted out through the FranklinCovey folks, and taught by an enthusiastic evangelist about their planner and organization system (aren’t they all?). I am personally convinced that FranklinCovey’s approach is no better nor any […]

As many of you know Harris Miller will have to face off against James Webb (former Secretary of the Navy during the Reagan […]
I used up about 20 seconds of my allotted 15 minutes of fame by getting on today’s “Net Neutrality” episode of the Kojo Nnamdi radio talk show. Kojo’s show was talking about the Net Neutrality movement, and I tried (unsuccessfully, I think) to point out that what we all call Net Neutrality is really an […]
Friday Erci and I went to Joy’s Cinco de Mayo party where we got to see lot’s of Erci’s former co-workers from Marine Scene and we met lots of new people. Erci was feeling better on her crutches and quite able to get around back to enjoy the party. Saturday she insisted we attend Maryland’s […]
A friend and co-worker of mine, and his wife, designed these really cool and poignant bumper stickers, and they are selling them in person and online (paypal needs JavaScript and Cookies). Unpimp Congress
Erci is resting up now, she has a seriously pulled groin. She and her dance instructor heard a loud pop last night, and then she was in so much pain should could hardly move and she could not put weight on her right leg anymore. She called me to come get her, and on my […]
