I remember Elfquest. I only have a couple of issues hidden away somewhere in my collection and those were difficult to get. What’s amazing to me is how long the series has been going on and yet I was nowhere near aware of it as I probably should’ve been. I seem to recall that...
After ten years in Vegas, Star Trek: The Experience is being decommissioned. Sorry – couldn’t help but use some Trek talk there. Scifi.com’s SciWire is reporting that, as of Sept. 1st, the Vegas attraction for Trekkies and Trekkers young and old, will be closing up shop. Quark’s bar will be serving it’s last drink...
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to...
Don Sinclair Davis, our own ‘General Hammond’ from Stargate:SG1, passed away from a heart attack on Sunday, June 29th. Mister Davis was a veteran character actor, best known for his appearances on some of my favorite shows including: Stargate SG-1 and The X-Files. He also played Major Garland Briggs in Twin Peaks but I...
The Colorado Guy has lived here at least 10 to 15 years and is easy to spot – they’ve acclimated to the laid back Colorado atmosphere and, they all wear the same damn clothes. First off is The Shirt: This shirt comes in many different colors ranging from tan, blue and tan. Sometimes it’s...
250 Miles is roughly the distance from Denver Colorado to Springer New Mexico if you took I25. Barring traffic, construction and potty breaks, that’s about a four hour trip. That’s also how far I can go on a tank of gas. Well, I could probably go another 50 miles but I don’t like to...
“Yo! I can fix that dent – it’s what I do!” I hear that a lot. Today, it was from some guy that walked up to me in the drive-thru as I was ordering my lunch. See, I have a dent on the driver side, rear panel of my car. It’s not a new...
I recently posted on another blog about the impressions we make. For people who have public facing jobs, sales people, customer service reps – the impressions that you make are crucial to surviving in a truly cut-throat world. I recently had an experience that just left me feeling rotten. Everyone knows ‘American Furniture Warehouse’...
I got to thinking about how I prefer to watch television anymore – on DVD after the season’s over – and it dawned on me exactly how the networks could take back the TV from all the cable channels. Used to be there were 3 channels: CBS, ABC and NBC. You probably had maybe...
Last weekend, I took my mom up to Rocky Mountain National Park – the pics are now available here on the site. I built a page to showcase the best of the best. Take a look and let me know what you think. ~P
Went to the Rocky Mountain National Park over the weekend – had a blast. (photos forthcoming after I sort through them) Took my mom, who’s never been. Heck – I’ve never been either! I’ve been to Estes Park before, but it was late and we never actually made it any farther. Anyway – a...
Is there anyone out there who can truly say, in all honesty, that they like their cell phone company? When my friggin 2 year contract was up, I started shopping around. My current company made me an offer that sounded great so I took it. It turned out to be the same deal everyone...
I don’t take notes. Well, I say I don’t take notes but really, sometimes I do. It would be more accurate to say that I rarely take notes in the way that most people take notes. I was recently in a meeting with my boss and he was detailing a lot of things he...
