Entropy Sucks …

Posted on May 22, 2003 By Tom No Comments on Entropy Sucks …
Rants

…technically, I think it blows, but whatever. I seem to have more than my share of degeneration towards chaos. All three vehicles need repair, my office is a paper-laden wreck, and the roof of our house is still shingled with pollen. The rain exacerbates the situation. I have always been fascinated with office supply stores. … Read More “Entropy Sucks …” »

Peter Yarrow

Music

What a week. It started Monday by spending the evening with a musical legend. We went to a benefit for Max and Trudy Heller, at which Peter Yarrow, of Peter, Paul, and Mary, performed. The word “concert” could only loosely be applied here. The music was moving only because of its history and in the … Read More “Peter Yarrow” »

American Whitewater

Paddling

After running the river Saturday, I decided to check out the American Whitewater site. They have made a major overhaul of the website, with an expanded river guide with photos and video clips. It’s now an excellent resource.

Enoree River Paddle

Paddling

Two posts in one day. Oh boy. Bob and I got to our meeting spot at the take out on the Tyger River, only to find “No Tresspassing” signs everywhere. I can understand trying to keep the random idiots off your land who want to trash the place, but I wish they could differentiate between … Read More “Enoree River Paddle” »

Galloping on My Dinosaur

Posted on May 10, 2003 By Tom No Comments on Galloping on My Dinosaur
Entertainment

I can’t believe it! Someone has created a tribute pageto Larry Thor, who recorded the children’s album “Galloping on my Dinosaur.” The album has wonderfully twisted songs, and my siblings have been fighting over who actually owns the one LP of it in our family. I’ve tried to convert it to CD, but my copy … Read More “Galloping on My Dinosaur” »

Happy “Multi-Cultural Excuse for a Party” Day!

Posted on May 6, 2003 By Tom No Comments on Happy “Multi-Cultural Excuse for a Party” Day!
Miscellaneous

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo yesterday at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Monterrey. We ordered our usual two small margaritas, and they brought us out an extra one in celebration. Not being much of a drinker, I battled a tequila-induced headache the rest of the evening. With my throbbing head buried under a pillow, I started … Read More “Happy “Multi-Cultural Excuse for a Party” Day!” »

Now Is the Month of Maying

Posted on May 4, 2003 By Tom No Comments on Now Is the Month of Maying
Miscellaneous

It’s hard to believe May is already here. This academic year has flown by. Along with May comes spring/summer outdoor activities. Greenville now has competing farmer’s markets – one downtown and one at the “official” farmer’s market on Rutherford Road. The “official” one seemed to have much more to offer. The one downtown had a … Read More “Now Is the Month of Maying” »

“It must be a Thursday. I never could get the hang

Posted on May 1, 2003 By Tom No Comments on “It must be a Thursday. I never could get the hang
Rants

Last Saturday I opened the newspaper, and to my astonishment, there was a letter to the editor from one Thomas E. Taylor in Piedmont, lamblasting Jesse Jackson. While I concur with a good portion of his letter, I fear to think how many of my colleagues thought that was me! I actually got a hand-written … Read More ““It must be a Thursday.

Another cool site…

Entertainment

 Mark Fiore – I like this guy’s work with Flash. Apparently, he also contributes to the Mother Jones online magazine. Speaking of websites, I was at Fark when I noticed a banner about a Matrix protest entitled “Matrix: Rejected.” I have always had problems with the gaping plot holes in the Matrix, as well as … Read More “Another cool site…” »

Easter 2003

Posted on April 29, 2003 By Tom No Comments on Easter 2003
Miscellaneous

Easter has come and gone, with proclamations of “Christ Has Risen”, despite worldy evidence to the contrary. They say the war is winding down. We’ll see. Actually, there were two Easters. I celebrated Orthodox Easter with the performance of Bach’s St. John Passion with the Greenville Chorale Saturday night. It’s a piece enjoyed more by … Read More “Easter 2003” »
