Taking the Bullet

January 10, 2015

I got a bunch of free premium channels for a limited time, and I saw “The Lone Ranger” so you’ll never have to. I don’t know why I keep taking these bullets for you people.  It’s not like I’m paid for this, and it’s not like the bullets are real silver. I thought, as I […]

January 6, 2015

For the most part the holidays were spent in attitudes of collapse, but I did manage to drag myself to the theater to view The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies. Those who remember my notes on the previous two films will recall that I feared the third movie would consist only of the Battle of […]

Dropping the Light Ball

January 2, 2015

It’s New Year’s Day.  I am for the most part recovered from the stomach bug that’s kept me down the last couple days, and which meant that instead of going to any New Year celebrations, I remained at home and watched the Times Square ball drop not on CNN, because CNN cut to commercial just before midnight, […]

Chickenhawk

December 30, 2014

There’s a massively important article on the American military in the current Atlantic, which is fortunately readable online.  It’s by James Fallows, who has always seemed to be the military analyst who asks the right questions. Here’s your take-away: If I were writing [a history of our times] now, I would call it Chickenhawk Nation, based on […]

December 27, 2014

We have released our lovely calendar for the year 2015.  As in previous years, the calendar features images from the previous year’s travels, plus a list of holidays from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the U.K. As with previous years, I make no money from this.  I just do this to share my life with […]
