Birthday Dinners
Last night as a special treat, I took Chris out to dinner to Randy’s Steakhouse (located in beautiful downtown Frisco). It was really nice – great environment, attentive staff (cute too), and awesome food (a little to much red meat for my liking, but I was able to find the most incredible Chicken Marsala). My… Continue reading

Good interview tonight on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. His guest was Senator Russ Feingold, and his recent moves to censure the POTUS.
Bye bye Chef
Just watched the latest episode of South Park.

I… Continue reading
I’m With Stupid
I’m listening to PSB’s new song, “I’m with Stupid” from their new album, Fundamental. It’s the usual PSB style and sound, but the words are kind of funny, especially when you read (listen to) them knowing that it’s a song “dedicated” to English Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President George W. Bush. You can… Continue reading
