Harrison
From Yahoo! News: George Harrison ‘Knows He Will Die Soon’ From Cancer
Shit. Another icon, so close to passing. This news is very sad.
Soopaman and family
So last weekend, I was in Evansville visiting my family, which is almost always the stuff of high drama, gnashing of teeth, and quickened pulses. This time, though, everyone seemed really mellow, including me, which was good.
My nephew Jake, who will be four in a month, ran around my sister’s living room with one hand […]
Radio ga-ga
I’m an insane man.
Thursday night, after much consideration, I went to H.H. Gregg and purchased a home theater audio system, which is now hooked up and pumping nice sound.

Tale of One Bad Rat
I just finished reading a magnificant comic book–one that I think everybody I know should read. Please don’t stop reading just because you’ve seen the words “comic book.” I’m not talking about muscle-bound morons slugging each other or zapping people with ray guns. Read the next two paragraphs.
