I heard a cool quote this weekend. I believe it is Greek in origin, but don’t know it’s attribution beyond that. It has to do with time, and it goes something like this: Seconds are arrows, the last one of which is fatal. I’ve done some quick cursory searches online and haven’t found the source,…
So the next shuttle launch, STS 121 is still go for this coming Saturday, July 1. Launch time is scheduled for 3:49 PM EDT. Anyone interested in watching the launch can do so from NASA TV, and I’m sure the major networks will be covering it too. It’s the second shuttle launch in about a…
It has rained just about all day here with lots of thunder and lightening. At this moment, it is still raining hard. In fact, the rain was hard enough earlier to block my satellite feed so that I missed the 9 PM and 10 PM showings of Deadwood and Entourage. So now I’m getting ready…
It has been raining heavily here most of the morning so far and it is possible that for the first time since I’ve held Orioles season tickets (three years now), my Sunday game may be rained out. The game (against the Nationals) is scheduled to start at 1:35 PM which is still about 4 hours…
I hadn’t gone to the movies since something like February, when I decided to head over to the theaters in Silver Spring and spend the afternoon and evening seeing a couple of pictures.

Anyway, I decided yesterday that I would once again attempt Will Durant’s Story of Civilization series of history books. I have a…
The Apple Music store has a 2-minute clip from Superman Returns that is very cool. I’ve watched it three or four times and want to see the whole movie even more. Not since Star Wars: Episode I, have I been thisexcited about an upcoming movie.
Yuck! I drank my apple juice too fast.
It’s 8:43 PM and I’m in bed! It’s still light out, but just getting into bed early for once makes up for all of that. Of course, I’ll probably watch an episode or two of Lois & Clark before I actually go to sleep. And I’ve got a full glass of chocolate milk to chug…
Next to, perhaps, Soduku, the thing that I see people doing most frequently on the train is reading Bibles. I’ve observed this for quite some time now, without saying much about it, but it fascinates me in a number of ways. Some of the same people seem to be reading the Bible constantly, year round.…
