Late last night, WordPress 2.1 “Ella” (named after Ella Fitzgerald) was released into the wild. Of course, I had to try it out! I first upgraded Off The Eaten Path to the new WP engine, and the upgrade went through without a hitch. The one catch: OtEP is a very simple blog, with very few …
I’ll chime in on as a participant in the “Blogging for Choice” online event today. My basic reason for being pro-choice and pro-woman? I’m a man – and I have no business in telling a woman what she can or can’t do with her body and her medical choices. It’s as simple as that, and …
Given that I’m quite happy that snow has arrived here in DC, I decided that I should use the camera and get some pictures. And it’s interesting to see how many people weren’t reacting like the world was coming to an end. Perhaps folks in DC feel like me: that winter is overdue and most …

In a startling turn of “WTF?,” NBC has decided to cancel Passions and expand Today to four hours. Yup: one more hour of hilarity at 30 Rock, while the only U.S. soap opera to feature an orangutan as a main character. It makes no friggin’ sense, I tell ‘ya! Actually, my only exposure to Passions …
So it’s more than halfway through January, and I’ve already been out in shorts during the day. That was Monday, when it nearly hit 70 degrees here in DC. But it has cooled down quite a bit today, which is encouraging. It’ll allow the local areas to fire up their snow guns and try to …
