Alright! That's it!I'm officially calling for a boycott of all biased media. No more NBC's The Today Show, no more Oprah, no more The View, no more NBC Evening News even! These programs are so completely biased, so unbelievably slanted that I just can't bare to watch. So sugary sweet are they to one end of the political spectrum that my teeth end up hurtting after only a little while. They smile

The best shows that are no longer on the air include...Homefront in the Garden, BBCGround Fource, BBCIn A Fix, TLCWest Wing, NBCSportsNight, ABC (I think)I'm hoping, one day, to find full episodes on DVD, online or on whatever format exists when these shows get rereleased, if that day ever comes.I'm sure I'll be updating this post when others come to me..

Did I miss something? Since when did a half-gallon of ice cream become 1.75 Quarts? Did someone forget that there are 4 quarts in a gallon, which means 2 quarts in a half-gallon? Is this too complicated? It must have happened at the same time that the price went up.Well, I don't like it. Not even one little bit. I want my .25 quarts of ice cream back! By my calculations, thats 48 spoonfuls of ice

I've been distracted. I'd like to say it's been by some noble cause, some form of making the world, or someone else, or myself better - but it hasn't really. Yeah, there's been some of that. I'd certainly put parenting in the noble cause box, along with trying to be a decent husband. I'm also happy to place the noble cause label on teaching and being involved with church.Yet, still, my garage is

I can never remember, is it "Feed a fever, starve a cold." or "Starve a fever, feed a cold." - I mean, it's not like "Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey", that makes sense. Another one that gets me is the one about the color of the sky, something about weather, and whether or not you should sail your ship - that one's so obscure I can't remember more than that.All I know is that I don't like being sick.

I recently got the results back from a blood test I took not long ago. 95% of the results were within normal limits, leaving 5% of the results ripe for improvement. Doing that, of course, is easier said than done. I have plenty of reasons, plenty of motivation and plenty of tools - what I'm short on, I'm afraid to admit, is will power.Having said that, I give you the following list entitled, "The

Back from a peaceful getaway with the little woman to the beautiful Columbia Gorge. On Thursday, we dropped the kids at the inlaws for a fun sleepover and we headed out of town. We stayed at a pretty nice Bed & Breakfast, outside of Hood River, saw familiar and unfamiliar (to us) sites and after some hunting around, visited our area's latest addition from the Netherlands.Quotes of the trip...

I've set up a sister site to my blog for the purpose of adding a little interactivity. Blogger recently rolled out a voting feature, among others, and I thought I'd give it a try. Now it's your turn, give it a try.For future reference, there's also a link to the right that'll take you there..

I consider myself somewhat of a tech guy - I can talk tech with most folks, even translate when needed. I can act as tech support for my Dad, even when I have no idea what he thinks the problem is. I can even program a VCR when called upon to do so.I've been part of the information superhighway since hooking up my $100 1200BPs modem to my $3500 Mac LC back in 1990 or so. I've seen nearly every

Congratulations to Al Gore's daughter who recently got married.According to People Magazine, "The Gore family hosted a rehearsal dinner for 75 family and friends the previous evening at Beverly Hills' Crustacean restaurant, a longtime favorite of the Gores. Executive chef Helene An created a six-course tasting menu that included Chilean sea bass and roasted crab."Nothing says, "Let's all save the

OK Today Show/NY Times, we get it. Yesterday I was inundated by your coverage of Fred Thompson and his so called Trophy Wife. I know the term can be considered less than complimentary, especially now since your 'insightful' coverage of the term and the negative light you continuously used in Senator Thompson's case.Of course, you never mentioned Dennis Kucinich and his wife, and the 31 years

I'm 90% sure I found a Hobo Spider in the house a few days ago. From everything I read online (and you know, you can't believe everything you read online) says that this is their neighborhood, this is the time of year you can expect to see them inside (they're feeling randy), and everything will be just fine as long as they don't bite you. The rotting flesh falls off after a few days, leaving you

As much as I'm apt to complain about the decline of civilization at times, I was recently reminded that there is, at least, a glimmer of hope still evident in the sludge.Case in point number one - I dropped my slightly aging Lexar JumpDrive in a parking log in front of our local Pizza Schmizza. When I came back about five hours later, hopelessly described what I'd lost, my new Schmizza Hero

I was reminded this morning by a radio commercial that GI Joe's, an Oregon based company specializing in sporting goods and auto gear dropped the GI from its name last April. I was steamed then, just as now, with the obvious (to me at least) slight to the US military.Gryphon Investors, the outfit of misfits that bought GI Joe's, a one man show in 1952 that quickly became a NW success story,

You just haven't lived until you've walked into your local Costco to find their displays of pianos, and the Player Piano belting out Beatles tunes. At least not until you've sat down on the bench, flickered your fingers of the moving keys and swayed to the music while people walk past whispering, 'That Guy's Good!"

The following story is not a dramatization.I happily agreed to install some shelving in a small closet under our stairs last weekend. A perfect home project - minimal effort, minimal cost, minimal time investment and a fair amount of gain in the organization department (something we are in sore need of it seems).So, the family and I loaded ourselves in the minivan, then in the bright orange

Kudos to the administrators at Cleveland High School who put a well deserved kybosh on the Winter Semi-Formal dance this week after students went too far. Of course, students immediately went to the "we're expressing ourselves" excuse for their poor choices and ugly behavior. See the Oregonian article for more.If they can't even follow simple guidelines for these kind of events, and if they're

I've been waiting for the dust from the Hardaway comment last week to settle before I wade in. Evidently, that will take a while, especially if you watch ESPN or listen to talk radio.Basically, my two cents are this; you may think what he said was ignorant, stupid, or just plain wrong, you may disagree or agree with what he said, or maybe you're starting a fan club for the guy - but when did we
