Here come the trains!

by

The December 27th arrival of the light rail is just around the corner and I’ve even seen a train or two out on the tracks near the house. Unfortunately, more often than not, what I usually see are morons, and I’m not the only one to notice. According to light rail operator Kim Zablonski: “People … Read more

Doctor Whoish

by

I haven’t posted anything Doctor Whoish lately, except the depressing news that David Tennant has knavishly abandoned his efforts to be the longest running Doctor yet.

However, If I don’t go searching, not much Doctor Who news comes my way, today I ran across this article, (at ComicMix News) which purports to be “what we know” about the upcoming specials – although, from the comments, I see a healthy dose of skepticism, which I’m more than pleased to to echo.

Little old ladies in Sun City, high paid executives who can take time off whenever they want and crazy religious fanatics make up a sizable … Read more

I never thought I’d see…

by

While I was out at lunch today, I got a text message from a friend informing me of something truly amazing, the text read: “England vs Stanford Superstars is on ESPN2 (20v20 cricket).” Could that be true? Could Stanford and his millions have enough pull that a cricket match would be shown on American television?! … Read more
