Cupcake always jokes with me that if Joe Gibbs, NASCAR team owner and wearer of three Super Bowl rings bearing the “Redskins” name, becomes single, I don’t stand a chance. The pugs and red ware will be thrown into the back of the Maxima and I will be left to fend for myself. I think [...]
I’ve got a big project at work this week, so I’m not able to write as much as I’d like. I do have to comment on this commercial, though….this is funny stuff. I probably find it funnier than most people would. I saw it a couple times last night during a hockey game on Versus [...]
I’m late posting this week. Twas quite a busy weekend and I’ve got a lot going on at work. No matter…last week was a pretty good week. Forty-one miles this week, 222 from Harpers Ferry and squarely in the middle of West Virginia coal country. You know you’re in coal country when you’re passing through [...]
Yesterday I had a lot of busy work which allowed me to put on the headphones and listen to C-Span. Featured was the House debate on the bill which would tax the infamous AIG bonuses out of existence. I found it incredible that Democratic members of Congress followed the President to the podium, expressing outrage [...]

They looked like something out of [...]

Poppa NostraSeamus was active in the Philadelphia Irish American community and indulged in such activities as protesting when the Queen Elizabeth 2 docked in Philadelphia in the [...]
I had a nightmare. In my horrid dream I read somewhere that Barney Frank was writing legislation that was going to overhaul regulation of the financial industry. I awoke….breathed a deep sigh of relief that what I had read was only in my mind…and then turned on my computer… Share on Facebook
I know…its an old clip. But I can’t help myself. I watch it every now and then….simply because I can. Here’s an interesting take on the whole thing. Share on Facebook
Forty-one miles this week, which puts me 181 miles from Harpers Ferry since 2/9/2009. I’m definitely in the sticks now, entering the Monongahela National Forest from the north. I’ve tried to research little towns like Redhouse, MD and Silver Lake, WV I’ve passed along the way, but the pickings are rather slim. The Forest was [...]
We all know politicians will say anything to further their agendas. The less clumsy of that breed attempt to do it with as little cynicism as possible. Not the current occupant of the White House.
