Things about my life.
Mattel is in the middle of a huge toy recall. Make sure to check to see if you have anything on the list. Most of the items have lead paint issues, some are problems with small magnets that come loose. In any case, I think Mattel is doing a great job of getting in front [...]
We had a little adventure here today. I was in the front of the house doing something or other which I don’t remember and happened to look out the window and notice a lot of smoke. I walked out and found that the grassy area over near the park was on fire. Our neighbor from [...]
It’s a rough week. Peter Jennings announced today that he has lung cancer. Kate and I were wondering if something was wrong when he wasn’t around to cover the Pope’s death. We were very sad to hear he’s sick. When I bother to watch television news anymore (it’s mostly useless these days), Pete was always [...]
Pope John Paul II died today. It’s a sad day. He did a lot of good for the world. Even if I didn’t agree with him all the time, I never had any doubt that he had the best of intentions. We’ll all miss him. As sad as it is to see him go, it’s [...]

The 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded yesterday to Alexei Abrikosov, Anthony Leggett and Vitaly Ginzburg for their work in supercondictivity and superfluidity
It amazes me that some people are allowed to have children. Exactly how stupid do you have to be to go to prison and not tell anyone that your kid is at home alone? I would think breathing would be too much of a strain on this person’s mind for her to have made it [...]
NOAA has some pictures up of the Northeast US before and after the blackout that occured on Thursday. In other blackout news, we had ourselves a minor one today. The lights were out from aroud 2:30pm to around 4:00pm. Dominion Power has a cool system though. You call them and give the computer your phone [...]
Well, the war has started. Of course, like almost all Americans, I support the troops that are doing the fighting. They are all brave men and women to whom we owe more than we could ever repay. I think Saddam is an evil man. I think he’s done horrible things to his people. I even [...]
