Happy 8th or 2nd Birthday to Nic!

Posted on February 29, 2008 by Steve

Yeah, I know, lame, but I never grow tired of the joke or premise from The Pirates of Penzance. I’m confident he’ll be sick of it by the time he’s a young adult. Yet he won’t turn down the free … Continue reading →

Happy 60th Birthday Bernadette Peters

Posted on February 28, 2008 by Steve

It’s her birthday again but this time I stated her age because NPR blurted it out and it is public knowledge on imdb.com. I tried to watch Pennies from Heaven while it was on the DVR yet it didn’t hold … Continue reading →

I rolled the dice for her birthday and even though I didn’t hit a Seven on the first throw, I did make the Point…Sheila wrote an e-mail to me! It’s also a good thing I glance over the Junk folder … Continue reading →

New Podcast recommendations for 2008

Posted on February 27, 2008 by Steve

Two years ago I recommended three podcasts (and trashed another) because iTunes gained the ability to easily subscribe a few months earlier. Then last year The Onion jumped into the video podcast foray with their spot-on parodies of Fox News … Continue reading →

Welcome Marcus!

Posted on February 25, 2008 by Steve

Nelson’s fourth child was born Friday night. I didn’t want to announce it until there were pictures. Maybe it’s a validity thing. Don’t want people thinking Nelson and Tammy have virtual children because the first group investigating such a claim … Continue reading →

Trade Deadline ends later this week and Floppa still wavers

Posted on February 24, 2008 by Steve

The trade deadline looms in what may be the Mats Sundin derby, if he’d only lighten up and help his doomed organization out. My guess is that he doesn’t trust the Maple Leafs to pull a Mark Recchi or Doug … Continue reading →

Who’s the movie star?

Posted on February 24, 2008 by Steve

For the last few Sundays, I have taken up a new ritual to replace the one I used to have working for Kenny’s; meeting my key regulars at Einstein’s Bagels. Their lattes are mediocre yet I did enjoy their bagel … Continue reading →

1993: Picayune 1.0’s production is ramped up

Posted on February 22, 2008 by Steve

Those Six Days of Christmas stories were a mixed bag but I actually received some positive feedback from one friend regarding them. I’m still waffling about doing it again in December; the lack of a response from others doesn’t mean agreement … Continue reading →

Posted on February 22, 2008 by Steve

This is definitely shaping up as the year of me plugging the birthdays of all my fellow Generation X 1968ers as I creep along to the big four oh. Jeri is a pretty cool actress and quite a nice person … Continue reading →

Tim Finn in Austin

Posted on February 20, 2008 by Steve

Although I have seen him perform with Neil for their Finn Brothers tour, this was my first time catching his solo act. I discovered that out it was his first (solo) in Austin too. Those in attendance were lucky because … Continue reading →

Maggi Updates for mid February 2008

Posted on February 19, 2008 by Steve

Yesterday was hectic from when I got out of bed until I finally returned to sleep, thus I didn’t get any serious writing finished, namely Molly Ringwald’s big 4-0. It was also one of those good-new-bad-news days. Good News: My … Continue reading →

Happy 40th Birthday Molly Ringwald

Posted on February 18, 2008 by Steve

Yeah, yeah. I whipped something up on my site to make the deadline for her birthday. But I think the only people who got messed with were those who can actually get the RSS feed element to work, figured if … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Sheila, wherever she is

Posted on February 17, 2008 by Steve

I won’t divulge my friend’s age, that’s up to her to share because she’s a lady. What Sheila is up to on her birthday is a mystery to me since she hasn’t answered my letter or the card I sent. … Continue reading →

A belated Caturday or is it Faturday?

Posted on February 17, 2008 by Steve

Don’t let the source of this story fool you. Somara and I aren’t into UK celebrity gossip but when it comes to a cat weighing almost 30 pounds, we take notice. It definitely puts Molly’s weight issues into perspective (she … Continue reading →

Birthday cake as per Wyatt’s instructions

Posted on February 17, 2008 by Steve

Obviously Wyatt picked out this year’s February birthday cake. I guess younger kids are suckered into the story line of Darth Vader being a sympathetic villain despite the millions of lives destroyed or ruined in his career as Emperor Palpatine’s … Continue reading →
