It was less than two weeks ago that I gave my boys some wrestling figures, one of which was The Ultimate Warrior. I was explaining to them that when I was a kid, The Ultimate Warrior was one of the, then WWF's, top wrestlers. And that my grandma took me to Market Square Arena for a "WWF House Show" on April 2, 1990, during which Dusty Rhodes defeated "Macho Man" Randy Savage by … [Read more...] about Ultimate Warrior, Dead at 54

Psych: The Break-Up
There are only a handful of shows that I actually like on TV these days. Tonight, the funniest of those, Psych, goes "off the air" after eight seasons. Thanks for the laughs guys. … [Read more...] about Psych: The Break-Up
March Sadness
I've not been a huge fan of professional basketball over the past decade or so, and I don't have the time to keep track of college hoops, but I still enjoy March Madness. However, with no Indiana teams in the tournament this year, I'm finding that I don't really care. Sure, you'll have your underdog stories, but without the perceived vested interest, I'd be just as happy … [Read more...] about March Sadness
Seed Starting 2014
I've had a home garden ever since I moved into my first house. It started out with mainly tomatoes since that's what I always remembered my folks growing as a kid, and what I knew would grow without much fuss here in Indiana. Over the years I've tried a few different veggies here and there, with peppers becoming my other favorite, AND SUCCESSFUL, crop. Last year I decided … [Read more...] about Seed Starting 2014
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Conspiracies Aboud
I like a good conspiracy as much as the next guy, and when a Boeing 777 (a.k.a. a very large plane) just vanishes, conspiracy theories are bound to pop up, but I think we can rule out these off-the-wall theories that I've seen so far. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 got sucked into the "New Bermuda Triangle". As the theory goes, the Bermuda Triangle moved, or there's … [Read more...] about Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Conspiracies Aboud
Colorado Weed Shortage?
"Sales of recreational marijuana begin in three weeks, and lawmakers fear that demand will dwarf supply." ~ via Time I find this a bit amusing. Colorado worries that they don't have enough pot to go around and it's going to be chaos on January 1st when they make it legal to fire up a fatty. Everyone and their brother is going to be camping out with a big wad of cash in … [Read more...] about Colorado Weed Shortage?
The 700 Club Halloween Special
Tonight on ABC Family: Monster House, Corpse Bride, Nightmare Before Christmas, 700 Club & Coraline. The placement of The 700 Club within this block strikes me as very odd. But on the other hand, much of what comes out of Pat Robertson's mouth these days is downright frightening, so maybe it isn't so odd after all. Which one of the above is your favorite? How many of them … [Read more...] about The 700 Club Halloween Special
Gun Control Is An Agenda, Not The Answer
First, let me say that the events that took place in Newtown, Connecticut last week are tragic and absolutely heartbreaking. Having lost two children myself, I know that there's nothing that can be said, or done, to truly comfort these parents, or this community. It's a hurt that is deep. A hurt that will always be there, even as the years go by. The same can be said for the … [Read more...] about Gun Control Is An Agenda, Not The Answer
