Gary’s shared linksSTRATFORD, NJ, USA It’s like I’m back in Syracuse–we have had lake-effect snow in South Jersey! I can’t believe it! It must be incredibly windy up in the ‘Cuse right now. I’ll try to write a new post in the next couple of days. I’ve just been lazy. It will be a good post, though; [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA Everyone knows about “blue collar workers” (people who perform manual labor) and “white collar workers” (people who work in an office setting, especially managers). Of course, life is rarely clear-cut enough to fit broadly defined labels. So, some people try, with mixed results, to combat that by creating more categories and yet more [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA Update: I have a new link for the video. Watch it!

Comedy Central’s Steven Colbert examines the Black Horse Pike! I’m sorry that I can’t embed the [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA For once, I’ve got a few action-packed days. Hockey Yesterday, I went to the Flyers’ SkateZone ice rink in Voorhees to watch the Philadelphia Flyers’ prospects scrimmage against the Washington Capitals prospects.

STRATFORD, NJ, USA I’m pretty sure I once saw a stand-up comedian do a routine about yard sales, and how money takes on an entirely new meaning at them. “45 cents, huh? I don’t know…it has a scratch on it….” Last Saturday, I found that comedy routine to be largely true. Someone nearby organized a street-long yard [...]

A few years ago, my grandmom and I had an arguement. She was convinced that the earth was flat. “Otherwise, we’d all fall off!” Me, I espoused the Platonic/Aristotalian view that the world is round.

Stratford, NJ, USA In my last post, I talked about how our local NBC affiliate wasted FAR too much time on a story about how one of its own reporters sought revenge on a guy who fondled her panties. Well, our ABC affiliate wasn’t about to be out-done! The next day, Philadelphia’s 11pm newscast on 6ABC [...]

It has been almost six months since I moved back to NJ to take care of my grandmother. I got back into the habit of writing again, and, at first, I thought this might become a blog about dealing with an aging relative. Either because I’m arrogant enough to still want to talk primarily about [...]

This time last week, I had just touched the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Today, I spent the afternoon emptying Lake Horner out of my grandmom’s basement. Just to recap, while I was gone: Don Imus lost his job because of his comment about the “nappy-headed hoes” at Rutgers, New Brunswick. The governor got [...]
