Poem by my tenant
My tenant, Gary White (no relation), penned this:
Joe
As I sit here and write,
I sometimes hear the cat food bowls clinking and tinkling

Maybe I’m not as old as I thought
I’ve marveled at how Weird Al has been able to stay on current for over twenty years with his parodies. I thought I had gotten to the point that I was unable to relate to him now because I am so out of touch with current music, but his new video proved me wrong.

Found Blinky, but where are Inky, Pinky, and Clyde?
Walking back from Christy’s Donuts and Kolaches the other morning, I noticed something I had missed every other time I had been by the intersection of Montrose and W. Gray:
It is a mosaic of one of the Pac-Man monsters, laid out in little tiles on the containment wall there on the southeast corner of the [...]

CHICAGO TRIBUNE: “Busted by the bloggers”

Sens. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) and Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) are probably damn [...]

Where is common sense?
I never followed the JonBenet Ramsey case, but when this guy claimed to be the killer, why didn’t they just take a swab while he was in Thailand and check his DNA before going to the huge expense of bringing him to Colorado?
