Hey, kids, it’s Uncle Nutty!
While searching online for parts to fix the hovercraft, Ryan, Bryan and I stumbled across The Nutty Company, an outfit
that specializes in nuts and bolts and things of that nature. Their mascot is Uncle Nutty:
Amazing.

We won!">We won!
Congratulations to the Rice University baseball team, 2003 College World Series Champions!
Baseball is a game of superstition, and I must confess I played not a small part in the team’s success. I watched the first game of the final series against
Stanford (what kind of name for a team is the color cardinal??? and a [...]

Survey says…
I’m sure you’ve all gotten those email surveys at some time or another. Got one today from Sarah Mesko, so I updated my survey page to update some of my responses. But some are just plain silly…I mean, come one, who cares about

Eating things for fun and profit
I think the first time I ate something for money was in college. It wasn’t anything gross, just an odd combination of items. The one that sticks out most was
the apple covered in chili and ketchup for $1.25. Last night Kitty offered me $5 for eating a wadded up portion of her napkin. [...]

Begin it now.
While (whilst?) I was visiting Syl in Dublin, I admired a quote she had on her mantle, which she was kind enough to type up and send to me:
Until one is committed there is the chance to draw back;
always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one

Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast
There are some songs that reach down and hit me every time I hear them. Was reminded yesterday that the 2nd movement of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony is one of
them…stayed in the car yesterday after driving back from rehearsal so I could hear it all. Also among these gems are:

Joe’s Arkansas Travel – Chapter VIII
Guess I should mention the whole reason why I was in Hot Springs to begin with. Both performances were great, and were very well received. There were lots of

Joe’s Arkansas Travel – Chapter VII
Friday I convinced Sarah and Elaine to eat at Flappy Jack’s Steak and Pancake Restaurant. I mean, with a name like that, how can you not at least give it a try?
I, of course, had the steak and pancakes, with two eggs over easy and grits. It all was good save the namesake [...]

Joe’s Arkansas Travel – Chapter VI
I’m sure I’ve remarked on this before, but I truly love storms: be they lightning, wind, thunder, whatever…there power serves as a great reminder of our true
humbleness. Tonight, after tons of rehearsing today, we emerged from the gym-cum-theater to witness a spectacular light show. Lightning bolts leaping from
cloud to cloud from every corner [...]
