A new vehicle
Joe SieglerWell, on Monday afternoon, my wife and I bought a new truck. We got a 2004 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab Sport Model. It’s my fifth car I’ve ever owned, and my first truck. As I write this, I’ve had it less than 24 hours, and I have to say, it’s very cool, and has tons […]
Nipplegate
Everyone else is talking about this, I might as well weigh in on the subject, too. OK, as I’m sure everyone noticed on Sunday evening, Janet Jackson had her right breast exposed on national television. It was quite frankly, the only thing worthwhile about the entire halftime show. Halftime shows are generally crap, although the […]
High Priced Shopping Carts
I’m in the parking lot of Sam’s Club today loading the trunk of my car with some stuff I had bought. I’m walking my shopping cart over to the metal whatever you call it that sits in a spot to collect carts. I’m reading the sign which says “Help keep your costs low by putting […]

The Passion of the Christ

I’d talked about wanting to see Mel Gibson’s Christ Movie “The Passion” (or whatever the final name actually is, I’ve heard about three different titles for it). I got this email from my wife this morning, who had […]

2003 CD’s
As 2003 drew to a close, I decided that since I have this blog now, I was going to do a retrospective of some of the CD’s I bought in 2003. I have a listing online of all the CD’s I own here. I’m going to be moving that into my blog once I find […]

Good Coffee – NOT Starbucks
I like coffee. Ever since the one year I spent in College, I kind of got hooked on the stuff. I was going to Temple University, and when I would get off the Subway in North Philly, I’d get what I called “A Cup of Mud” from this Roach Coach that was right outside the […]
