I just realized that David Tennant, the actor who plays Barty Crouch Junior in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is also the actor who plays on Doctor Who in the new series for BBC. Yeah, I’m a little slow on the uptake some days.

It’s been a Johnny Cash week leading up to my viewing of Walk the Line today. I bought a paperback copy of Cash for the plan ride back to the East Coast. I filled up my cell phone with all the Cash songs I have. I also put several Cash cds on my […]

We put the fake Christmas tree up tonight (it’s fake as I got tired of cleaning up pine needles as I moved out of appartments in January in Seattle). I think this is a record for me, as it usually takes me a week or two to recover from Thanksgiving enough to think about […]

Unfortunately, Patty and I are going to miss out on tasting the venison, the moose, the bear, and other game delicacies as I get into Albany airport too late to attend the supper. […]

In baseball news, Alex Rodriguez wins the MVP award.
The New York Times lead-in is “Rodriguez Is the Complete M.V.P.“. The Boston Globe lead-in is “A-Rod edges Ortiz for MVP“.

I finally made it to Bucca di Beppo last night. I have tried to eat there previously, but the lengthy, multiple hour waits were killers.
