Finally, an episode of Saturday Night Live that was actually funny! Of course, it helped that Hugh Laurie was the host. He’s a talented comic, and he was able to prop up the other SNL cast members whenever he was on stage. Highlights: The monologue was perfect: warm, friendly (you can call me “Sweet Cheeks”), …
Haven’t been on a bike since last Saturday. I’m itching to get back on, but I know that my ribs need to mend. If it’s any consolation, it doesn’t hurt (much) to cough anymore. And I should be ready to go when next I lead a PPTC ride…. Congrats to the St. Louis Cardinals – …
So I went to Connecticut for the weekend. I had a great time, too: a fun bike ride in the wind, a visit to O’Rourke’s Diner, a great dinner out with sprite and Karen, a fun wedding, a trip to Outhouse Orchards, tons of beautiful foliage, and an early (time-wise) drive back to DC. However, …

Never in my life have I been moved to tears – of sadness, anger, passion – by a broadcast journalist’s commentary. Until tonight. Keith Olbermann’s commentary on the Military Commissions Act of 2006 was the ticket. Olbermann, using tones not heard on the U.S. airwaves since the days of Edward R. Murrow, fired on all …
I’ve placed in a script or two that might “alter the furnishings” here a bit for the next day or so – just testing something.
“President” Bush signed an order today that prohibits other countries from using outer space for hostile endeavors, and gives the U.S. the power to stop said activities. Never mind that Bush is one of the leading proponents of a space-borne missile defense system that is, in all fairness, a hostile use of space. So do …
So we’ve been turning The Burrow upside-down looking for sprite’s purple dress shoes. Have you seen them? If so, please drop a comment here or on sprite’s blog. Thank you.
