I'm off to Elba
Jun 28 2007, 20:31 EDT [updated Jun 29 2007, 01:05 EDT]
I have been enjoying my temporary retirement a bit too much which means I've been a royal shit to my publisher. I have about twenty chapters to do before the end of August but Boston offers too much in the way of wine, women, and song (if "song" means "r

Living in the Third World
Jun 27 2007, 23:19 EDT [updated Jun 28 2007, 11:25 EDT]
Power has just gone out again in my section of Somerville. It went out for two minutes earlier tonight. This time it is ten and counting.
Thankfully like a good geek I have my cable modem and router on UPS. I'm typing this on my laptop. (and like a g

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell
Jun 27 2007, 11:58 EDT [updated Jun 28 2007, 18:47 EDT]
This is the title of a book about the drunken fratboy antics of one Tucker Max. This read is not for the faint of heart. The stories vary between hilarious and kinda sad but they all involve copious amounts of alcohol mixed with either womanizing or the

Tuesday Trio: Skint by the Skinners
Jun 26 2007, 22:34 EDT [updated Jun 27 2007, 00:44 EDT]
Our 3-4 loss last week didn't budge us out of third place but our 3-4 loss this week might. We played the dreaded Team #7 aka The Skinners (Mrs, Sr, and Jr). Mary holds most of the #1 records for women and is not to be trifled with. Jr (who is 30ish) h

Comprehensive Immigration Reform Can't Work

[Rush job, but I wanted to go on record before the cloture vote tomorrow]
1 - It can't and won't be enforced
2 - The reasons for amnesty don't go away
3 - There is no economic upside
4 - There is no political upside

More Pescatore: Fried Clams
Jun 25 2007, 22:21 EDT [updated Jun 26 2007, 05:42 EDT]
The fried clams were good but after first taking a bite I put them aside for twenty minutes and they steamed themselves and the french fries/onion rings in the clamshell box. That made them un-crunchy.
They now have a couple tables for take-out customer

Pescatore II
Jun 20 2007, 23:41 EDT [updated Jun 20 2007, 23:53 EDT]
Tonight it was the Fried Haddock Plate with fries/O-rings and slaw ($10). The haddock was light and flaky and not overcooked (which is easy to do for fried food). The fries and onion rings were OK. I didn't actually try the slaw but it was only a coupl

Tuesday Trio: Showdown
Jun 20 2007, 00:10 EDT [updated Jun 20 2007, 01:42 EDT]
After last week's debacle our ranking slipped from #2 to #3. Kristy's 174 game made it on the ranking sheet for top-3 women's handicapped games but was 10 pins shy of of the scratch list[1].
Tonight we played the unnamed Team #10. Not to be confused wi

Ball Square in Somerville has a new take-out restaurant (a small dine-in area awaits zoning for street parking). The Italian seafood joint is run by the same Mom & Pop who run the adjacent Crowley's Liquors[3] (guess how I know them!).

Review: The Dangerous Book for Boys
Jun 18 2007, 14:10 EDT [updated Jun 18 2007, 14:23 EDT]
I bought this book for purposes of nostalgia and with half a mind to prove the nay-sayers wrong (see Die Feminists Die!) by replacing the word "boy" with "girl" and sending it off to my nieces. After all the feminists main knock was that the title was re

Hamas Wins!
Jun 14 2007, 12:20 EDT [updated Jun 14 2007, 15:14 EDT]
Hamas has won in Palestine. Members of the *cough* democratically elected Fatah have been dragged out into the street and executed and their wounded shot dead in hospital rooms. It is a shame they couldn't both lose.
Palestine has always been a proxy w

Tuesday Trio: Disaster Edition

We lost 5-2 against the Eight Ballers. This was disappointing because we were ranked #2 going into the day. As an extra kick in the nuts if we had scored 10 pins better between the three of us in game three we would have won[2] the day 5-2. It was a fa

Last Friday NPR spent an hour discussing The Dangerous Book for Boys. One of the authors called in and NPR added a feminist for balance. Her "balance" was unnecessary because it was garbage. Her general argument was that the "boys" in the title was a bi

Cape Bachelor Weekend

Good times, I spent the weekend at Cape Cod with a bunch of the boys for a bachelor party. Golf, poker, beirut, and all the ribs you could eat.
I had a minor scare on the drive back. The drive is 85 miles and my car said I had 100 miles worth of gas to
