The Grinch Who Stole Halloween

Published on October 31, 2007

I don’t have kids of my own, but I love them. I get a kick out of seeing them in their cute costumes when they scream “trick or treat!” at my front door on Halloween.
I just wasn’t in the mood this year.

I was at the grocery store the other day when I found this amusing shopping list. I picture the author blitzed in a Martha Stewartesque sort of way.


Updated: Hoping to Win Halloween Costume Contest

Published on October 30, 2007

UPDATE:  I was a Lotaburger cook complete with the hat, apron, drive-thru headset, and spatula.  I didn’t win.  I lost to a woman who dressed up as an evil clown and a co-worker who dressed up as a banana.  I still had fun.  
Every year at work we have a Halloween costume contest. The winner […]

The food guide you need in Albuquerque

Published on October 19, 2007

You know what I love best about Albuquerque? For a city this size, we have a huge amount of diverse and excellent restaurants. You name it, you can find it. I know there are always food-snobs who will say, “You can’t find good Dim Sum in Albuquerque.”
To those folks, I say, “More for me.”
So with […]

Joey Bishop passed away yesterday of “multiple causes.”
A great American entertainer, he was the last-remaining member of the Rat Pack that consisted of Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.


A message of love from the most bitter man alive?

Published on October 17, 2007

UPDATE 10\19

The “message” I posted here is not from George Carlin. Thanks to Renee for pointing that out. It was, as it turns out, found in 1945, hand scribbled on an M&M wrapper, in a certain “Führerbunker” in Berlin. Sorry, for any confusion. I would comment further, but, I have to get […]
