Here are some things that are interesting to me at the moment: 1. Mountain biking with clipless pedals. Haven’t rode in a while. Got all tangled up with scuba thing during the winter. Now that it’s spring, I dusted off the Gary Fisher and put the cleats back on. Been riding around Oak Cliff in…

Took advantage of my Easter vacation time at work to head down to Austin to do a little diving at Lake Travis. Mike Gibson and I left town around 8pm Thursday night and made our way through the traffic to North Austin where we stayed at Layne and Kendra’s. This was my first time diving…

I don’t know why I’ve never posted these before, but here are some pictures of our house down in Oak Cliff. Actually, here’s one picture, I’m putting the rest over in my Flickr account, which you can access by scrolling down and clicking on the right column. These were taken about a month and a…

The Hotel Pennsylvania in midtown Manhattan was one of the true bargains in a city where bargains are few and far between. Located right across the street from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station around 7th Av and 33rd, I’d recommended the place to a few friends in need of a place to stay. You…

Just a note – to cleanse the palette, so to speak, following my entry on Pete Walker — I’d just like to say that IT’S FREAKING COLD IN THIS HERE BEE-YOTCH!. For those not in the know, Dallas experienced a surprise mini snow storm Wednesday. Once again the DISD did NOT call a snow day,…

I moved up to the new blogger beta via google and I’ve been having problems posting from my Mac at work…The lame article about the avocados should’ve been posted days ago…and this post should’ve been up yesterday. I’m a bad boy. Dallas received it’s one-time-only yearly .33 inches of snow yesterday,…

I think there may be something to this. Los Angeles woman sues Kraft Foods over the lack of avocado in their “guacamole” dip.

A lot of the self-congratulatory back slapping being practiced by the Dems in the wake of the Midterm elections seems a bit much by my standards. Sure they’re controlling the House and possibly the Senate — but only by the slimmest of margins. I guarantee an evacuation of all libs/progressives by 2008. All it will…

Sad to report that actress Adrienne Shelly has died. Police are still investigating what appears to be a suicide. Although the petite Shelly was hardly a household name, fans of Hal Hartley movies will recognize her. She was really great in the 2001 movie Revolution #9, a rarely seen indie film that also featured the…

The Fox Atomic site has raw footage from “28 Weeks Later,” the sequel to 2003’s worthy zombie flick, “28 Days Later.” This time around, Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is at the helm. Fresnadillo directed the intriguing fantasy-thriller “Intacto” which came out in limited release back in 2002. I wrote a review of it back…
