The Hard Sell
I just survived a 20 minute proselytizing session with a guy trying to get me to convert to Shi’a Islam. Wow. WOW. All before noon, on a Thursday? Ahhh, an interesting life is often also a nerve wracking one. He was kind of giving me the hard sell, but in a generally nice way. I [...]

Various and Sundry…
I’ve been working regularly, running lots and playing football. Sounds good, right? It is. I clocked a 7.5 mile run last week. New personal longest! WOO HOO! I’m back into doing some shorter runs also. It’s good to get these in with the longer ones, for sure. I’m on the case for that 10 mile [...]

“Lashing” means what, exactly?
Media outlets are reporting that Barney Frank “lashed out” at some joker at a town hall meeting who was calling Obama Hitler because he wants me to have health care. (This clown even had a picture of Obama with a Hitler ’stache). Check it out here. You can see a Youtube clip of it from [...]

[Old Time] Music – A Bit of Nostalgia
Last night, after I posted the earlier bit about running, my Missus had a run in with the cat. The younger of the felines enjoys using the corner of the wall in the dining room as a scratching post. To get him to stop, when he does this we spray a little perfume that my [...]

According to Joe, there was nobody [...]

Con
The network morning shows always do me a treat. This morning I learned how to not fall prey to Internet romance scammers. The tell tale signs, according to the report, included the big three:
spelling errors
poor grammar
being asked for money repeatedly
Amazing. I suppose that since only the first two apply to A Casual Web Log that [...]

The Bachelor…
No, not the insipid TV show. My wife is out of town for the week, so I’m flying solo. I know lots of folks for whom this kind of arrangement is no big deal. In fact, some like it (separate vacations, a week or two out of town, etc.) but I’ve always disliked it. Indeed, [...]

Of Running, The US Open, And Insects
As I mentioned before, the last few days, and the next few weeks, are a very busy time for me. So much so, I can’t really make a whole lot of time for posting stuff on here. I am, however, interested in mentioning a few things. I am very happy that Murray beat Nadal at [...]

Rumination…
Sometimes I get a little frustrated, as I’m sure we all do, with the state of so many things in life moving at seemingly different directions at the same time. Example? Think about Lumber Liquidators (a flooring company) that widely advertises on both NPR (through “under writing,” of course…the NPR crowd would NEVER call it [...]
