I’ll take Potpourri for $1000
No posts to Toastiest in two days. It’s the end of the month. I feel the need to post. I’ve got a zillion random things to post about, and if I run out, there are a bunch of draft entries in the queue that I never bothered finalizing. Help John Edwards send [Read More]
File under ‘if-you-can’t-beat-em-join-em’
New computer speakers. Nice subwoofer with lots of bass. Even sappy stuff has bass. UPDATE – Alas, my measly speakers are no match for a car stereo. [Read More]
Using a parked car as your family’s stereo system
I find it very difficult to believe that neighbors that constantly play music from the stereo of their parked car don’t realize what a nuisance they’re being. I doubt they’re exceeding the designated decibels put forth in the city ordinance. As far as the [Read More]

The downside of the “everything” blog

Wake Forest Coach Skip Prosser Dead at 56
Wake Forest Coach Skip Prosser Dead at 56 I get a horrible, sinking feeling when I hear about these sudden, premature deaths. Fatal heart attack at 56? And you figure the head basketball coach at a first-rate university (with a first-rate medical center) would get any [Read More]
One more post about Mr. Vick
Take Action: Tell Nike to Cancel Michael Vick’s Endorsement Contract (thanks to Lenore for the heads-up on that website) My hurriedly composed message: You’re getting all these form letters, and I’m not going to copy their words verbatim, but I completely [Read More]
