I found this comment on a credit card / finance blog the other day:
I’ve been playing the 0% BT for 15 years now–it’s paid all my education, down payment on my house, down payment on a beach house, my cars, the list goes on and on. I have opened just about every card that offered [...]
The election polls opened at 6 am in Indiana. I am within walking distance to my polling stations, so I decided to walk over in case there was a line of cars. There wasn’t. I had heard stories of 2-3 hour lines in Downtown Indianapolis on Monday. Some friends said it looked like a party.

With the 2008 Olympics winding down and our plane tickets to Germany purchased, I thought that I would upload and post my photographs from my month’s stay in Greece for the 2004 Athens Olympics. I worked within the International Broadcasting Centre (IBC) for the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC). You can still read my blog from [...]
My supervisor, Jeff Brown called me to tell me that people were hanging from my building at two o’clock. My co-worker Joe Black and I went outside to meet up with the rest of the office who were out on the sidewalk looking up at the three men dangling about 15 stories in the [...]
As of January 2008, the most open field for presidential candidates in many, many years–especially on the Republican side. So you have been browsing around YouTube watching presidential candidates debate? A few years ago, I never thought I would get “news” through YouTube. Of course, I’m hesitant to call political debates news. News it seems [...]
Rachel and I are both small bargain shoppers–no, not small-bargain, we are actually short and have small stomachs. Whenever we eat out, we spend less than $15. We often split an entree and both feel bad for our servers, because if we were bigger, hungrier, less frugal, we’d spend $30 to $40. Which leads me [...]
“The night sky is an infinite viola and the milky way is a bow and the universe is a carousel of flowing manes and fiery eyes”
The above is from this delightful and mentally delicious nugget commenting on this Christmas season from Over The Rhine. Over the Rhine is a wonderful wife and husband band that [...]
I was using SeeqPod the other day to search for non-album songs sung by Over The Rhine. (By the way, Over The Rhine is coming to Indianapolis on December 12th at the Music Mill. I wonder if it will contain some Christmas music. I’ve never been to one of their Christmas concerts.)
Many of the mp3s [...]
Maybe it is time to move to somewhere else. Below is virtually verbatim of one side of a conversation heard outside my (closed) window not too long ago:
Hey kid! I want to tell you somethin’.
You won’t have to work for no one! You know what I’m sayin’. You know what I’m sayin’. You know man. [...]
As most of you all know, I tend to prefer extremes in taste. After a fling with orthodox liturgy, Old-Slavic hymns, and requiems, I threw myself into pop music from the last twenty years. I became excited at listening to songs from a decade ago. These are songs that I did not hear often, since [...]
