Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
I’m back from my trip back home. The thing that started my trip was to be there for the closing of Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. I grew up there, and wanted to see the closing of the place. Was a quite emotional moment. I know a lot of people don’t get choked up over things […]
The Last Roundup (Star Trek) by Christie Golden I was home visiting family recently, and when I left, I borrowed this book from my brother for the flight home. It’s 280 or so pages, and I read the entire thing waiting for my plane in the terminal, and for about the first 45 minutes of […]
I grew up in Philadelphia, and as a kid living in a town, I didn’t know much baseball outside of my own town. Hell, until I was 23 I never saw a baseball game anywhere except Veterans Stadium (which is being shut down next weekend – I’ll be going there from Garland, TX for that). […]
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been one who drinks Slurpees. I, like most others seem to enjoy suffering through a bout of brain freeze. However, when my office moved HQ, there was a 7-11 pretty close, and you would think that’d be great, but since we moved our office HQ, I […]
Is there anyone reading this who is a member of Apple’s iTunes music service? From what I can gather, it’s a pretty decent thing, and it’s supposedly coming for WIndows later this fall. However, I wonder if it’s going to be iPod only. I hope not. Any attempt to actually get into the iTunes store […]
For anyone living in the Mesquite/Garland TX area… The Chipotle on Town East Boulevard is opening up next Monday the 23rd. That’s great and bad. I love the place, but on Weight Watchers eating one of their burritos is roughy 85% of my entire food intake for the day! It’s also about 3 blocks from […]
Last night I tuned in to watch Monday Night Football, like I always do, being a football fan. This season so far (not on the field, but off the field stuff) has been one nightmare after another for me. First ESPN goes and adds Michael Irvin to their pre-game team. OK, there’s a reason why […]
Since my wife and I got our Tonkinese cats and moved into the house last year, we’d always been talking about getting our cats a cat tree (and some other toys). We never really got around to it until now, though. This morning we attended a cat show out in Ft Worth Texas. From where […]
Saw this story today that Universal is going to be lowering the prices of their CD’s to a list of $12.98. That’s probably a good idea, because other than greed, I cannot fathom why CD’s MSRP for $18.98. I’ve been buying CD’s since they were first really introduced as a consumer item, and I never […]
Perfect I’m Not: Boomer on Beer, Brawls, Backaches, and Baseball by David Wells, Chris Kreski Synopsis: Forget the perfect game. Forget the World Series rings. Forget the legendary carousing, the barroom brawling, the heavy-metal head-banging, and the endless supply of uncensored, often havoc-wreaking quotes. Forget the feuds with dumb-assed fans, wrong-headed managers and the entire […]
