So while performing some sort of archeological dig in our closet yesterday, the Cosmic Wife uncovered our long-lost high school yearbooks. (Yes, the Cosmic Wife and I attended the same high school, although she was a lowly freshwoman when I was a high and mighty senior. As a result we have six years of consecutive [...]
I tend to be a self-reflective sort of person. I am one of those people who constantly revisit the past and contemplate the impact of events and how things might have gone differently with even the slightest change in past history.
Several events in the past week or so have caused me to enter another reflective [...]
30 years ago I was still in college. I worked part time at a local bank to pay the bills, tuition and books. This was during the time I drove a 1976 Gremlin. Summer was the chance for me to work full-time and save up some cash for college, and I got paid by the [...]
So, July 20, 1969…
I can’t remember if my family was still in Guam on this date, or if we had already moved to Louisiana. And most of my memories prior to, say, 1974, are pretty suspect anyway. On July 20, 1969 I would have been 9 years old. By then I had discovered science fiction, [...]
He had a lot of hits like this one.
But my favorite song of his was his last big hit, in 1972:
The acoustics on this are terrible, and this was recorded in 1985, thirteen years after the hit came out, but you can still hear the feeling in his voice. This is one of the few [...]
I love games. Too much, I’m sure. I love just about any game you can think of. I love chess, checkers, go, backgammon, parcheesi, monopoly, spades, poker, hearts, stratego, candyland, life, diplomacy, axis&allies, blitzkrieg, clue, etc… I doubt if there’s a game I’ve ever encountered that I didn’t enjoy playing. I also love computer games [...]
So, there is a hoax going around the internet claiming that today, July 6, 2010 is the date that Marty McFly took Doc Brown’s DeLorean to in the 1985 movie “Back to the Future.” The hoaxers have admitted that it was a hoax, but the meme is still floating around the internet, leading to “news” [...]
… in Japan.
So, largemouth bass are native only to North America, and pretty much only the southeast until they started getting stocked all over the nation. Now Japan shares the all-tackle record for largemouth bass. Somehow I missed this story last year, the fish was caught in September of 2009.
I used to be a big [...]
Why do I love these melancholy songs like this?
Why don’t they write songs like this anymore?
Hope some of these songs brought back some good memories.
He’s got exactly the same model of Ovation guitar that Nancy Wilson has in the Heart video…
Can’t put Bob Seger on without this song:
You have no idea how hard it was to find a video for this song that didn’t have a half-naked Tom Cruise in it..
