Above: Craig Bido catches some shuteye
A couple of weeks ago, Craig Bido (Bee-doe) attended a wedding of someone who was from Oil City, Pennsylvania. Bido and I crossed paths around 2:30 a.m. in the stairwell of the Arlington Hotel in Oil City, where the wedding reception was held.
You see, my family gathers every few years […]
I just can’t have nice things…
Oswald…heading to the bodyshop, and not the good kind.
So Napa was a great time. We stayed at the Best Western “Inn by the Vines.” When my father inquired as to where the vines are, they directed him to the fence that separated the hotel from a Shell station. Here are the vines:
Here are vines from an actual vineyard at Goosecross […]
Twice in two days on Freeway 41 I get to watch someone flash their lights to pass. Is this a new thing that no one made me aware of, that it’s now a cool thing to do? After picking up my brother and Deidra, who had both had some drinks, I drove us […]

Seriously, not a single post since April 21st, and that wasn’t even a very good one. It’s not like I’m so busy that I can’t be troubled to write a couple of sentences on my weblolg. I’m not off saving the world or anything. Since April 21st, this is some of what I’ve been doing […]
Coca-Cola has a new President and Chief Operating Officer. Muhtar Kent assumes the new position immediately (heh). When I saw the story this morning, it reminded me of my trip to Atlanta a few years ago, and more specifically the World o’ Coke museum. It reminded me of the $6.00 I spent to learn about […]
Oprah and her best friend Gayle King took a road trip over the summer. Everyone’s favorite billionaire talk show host is shown here counting with her middle finger and flipping off millions of her adoring fans. Oprah informs her viewers about every other minute or so, that she’s just a regular person, […]
