I figured out how to post from my iPad. Well, this may make me rethink not blogging while I’m in Europe.
It’s always strange to be in Atlantic City
It certainly doesn’t resemble the place where I grew up anymore but every once in a while I’ll catch a glimpse of something iconic to my childhood that still exists and suddenly I’m a child again.
Hello, Lucy the Elephant.
On my way
I arrive on the East Coast today. Get to see my brother who has been very sick but now insists he’s ok. I’ll be the judge of that. And then on to Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar. And so, for the first time since I started this blog, I am taking a two week hiatus unless I figure out a way to blog from Europe. And given my technological expertise, that’s a pretty slim chance. This Thursday my regular column will still appear because I am nothing if not anal-retentive and so have already filed it with the paper. But that
Thank you Mark Begich
Thank you for the first ad of this never ending political campaign that has a sense of humor and doesn’t make me want to take a gun to my tv set. If people haven’t seen it yet, it features his mom and his wife. It’s not going to upend the campaign or anyone’s idea of either candidate, but at least you can watch it without wanting to scream.

You’re not sure?” Seriously? This is what is getting polled? Too bad they didn’t offer me “Don’t give a rat’s hairy behind” as a choice.

Let’s check in on the progress women are making in the world today. According to some, we no longer have any reason to complain. We have, in fact, become such “nazi-feminists” that men can no longer be men. You know, like in the good old days. Of course, that would be the good old days for men, not necessarily women. So let’s see how we’re progressing in the early years of the 21st century.
Let’s start with the rate at which men murder women in Alaska. That would be two times the national average. Once again, Alaska’s number one, though
I can’t believe we were ever really this young
Happy Anniversary (a little late) Sandra and Harris. It’s nice to know some things do last.
Bring Zeva back
I’m just saying…
Is anyone surprised?
It’s been less than a week since Ray Rice lost his job for punching his now wife’s lights out in an elevator and there are already stories appearing about the road he will have to travel for his comeback to professional football. Sigh. Am I the only one who thinks most of professional football is made up of assholes who think their shit doesn’t stink and they can get away with anything so long as they can throw or catch a ball. Come to think of it, that’s pretty much defines the NBA too. American rings its hands over proof
