We watch a lot of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy on Bravo. Not so much lately, as we’ve been pretty busy, but TiVo keeps us in the loop. Anyhow, I have taken special note of the part where the gay guys scream and shudder when the straight guy shaves. It seems they want us […]
I was born an Argentine, and somewhere on my passport (the expired Argentine one) it says in fine print that I must eat meat, or I’ll lose my citizenship. Argentines eat a lot of meat, and when it comes to the cow, they eat most of that, too. Empanadas (roughly translate as meat turnovers), blood […]
Condi Rice gave George Bush a note today during a NATO meeting that said the Iraq handover had gone as planned, two days early. George Bush wrote at the top of the note: Freedom will rain rein reign Jon Stewart called it the world’s first “sneak retreat.” I find myself wondering if the Iraqis know […]
Coolest thing I’ve found recently. SaverLab is a little, free program that lets you run a Mac OS X screensaver in a window, like an application. For a little over a year now, I’ve been running a screensaver over the Internet for our parents. They connect with their Mac OS X computers and select our […]
Please wait while I edit a previous post for slanderous insensitivity. But really. I posted about an experience I had today, at work.

This entry was originally posted with a lot more detail. Then Tiffany read it, and suggested I might want to be fuzzier about who, what, when and where with regards to my employer. Read about my thoughts on this here. On to the post. Tiffany and I have a lot of money in investments. We […]
Not sure how I feel about Ronald Reagan dying this weekend. Okay, that’s not true. I know how I feel, I’m just not sure how much of it is seemly to tell. I’m relieved for his family, who can finally rest after having to watch him deteriorate so slowly and painfully. I’m sad that someone […]
Yes, it is in regard to Reagan’s death, and yes, they had ten years to put it together, but this is the kind of gutsy design that stokes my fire. It is hard to imagine, when you see the whole broadsheet like this, but this is a newspaper, folks. Folded in the middle, sold on […]
So, it took a while, and I’m told the hold up was the holiday weekend, but I ma now the proud owner of a starting date for my new job. Thursday. Human Resources at my new employer, Creighton University, took their sweet time with my background check. Maybe it was my life overseas, Madrid and […]
