Thursday Open

It’s a hot, steamy Southern summer night, and summer is still ten days away. Pretty normal stuff. There’s a band playing down at Buddy’s, half a mile or so down the street. The bass line is kind of floating on the heat vapors, and the band is pounding out one of those great 80′s numbers [...]

Back in the saddle

Whew. Long afternoon, mixing busines with pleasure. I located a bunch of 55 gal drums, with lids, food-grade no less, for $10 each.  The only problem was that they were about an hour and a half drive away.  So, I combined a business trip and made arrangements to pick up the drums on the way [...]

I can’t remember the last time I did so, but in the past, downtown was always dominated by visitors and tourists. The historic [...]

Where is the teleprompter when you need it?

Would a wise Latina pick Sotomayor for the Supreme Court?

The double standard
