We miss you too
Filed in blog, Fri, 31 Oct 2003, 10:26 amOn the day of his opening game as coach of the Detroit Pistons, the murmuring around Larry Brown reverted to his previous team, the Philadelphia 76ers. Asked why he left after six years, Brown told the Detroit Free Press: “I can’t coach assholes anymore, I guess.” You can bet that set real well with his [...]
Upcoming schedule
Filed in blog, Wed, 29 Oct 2003, 11:33 amI eventually want to have a calendar up here to keep track of all the music happenings that I may or may not be attending. Until then, I figure I’ll just post the latest since there are a few things going on the next couple of nights. In case you couldn’t figure it out, everything [...]
Time for some vino
Filed in blog, Tue, 28 Oct 2003, 8:47 amI’ve been looking for a decent Pinot Grigio off and on with my various wine purchases. I don’t like many white wines (mainly Chardonnay), so I concentrate on Pinot Grigio and Riesling. My last attempt was with the Turning Leaf varietal and, as with any other wine of theirs I’ve tried, it was dissappointing. Last [...]
Nothing to say
Filed in blog, Mon, 27 Oct 2003, 11:07 amI’ve barely been posting lately and I don’t really know why. Usually it’s a matter of me having tons of things to say, and only getting the opportunity to post about a quarter of them when I get the chance. There’s currently two posts in Draft that I want to finish up, but one is [...]
Maybe this is a sign
Filed in blog, Fri, 24 Oct 2003, 10:20 amI’m semi-interested in Mel Gibson’s The Passion. Sure all the religious leaders are trying to make a big stink about it, but I’m not convinced that it truly is anti-Semitic. It seems to me that portraying some people of a race or ethnic group in a poor light does not mean that you feel all [...]
Yay, we… um… won…
Filed in blog, Mon, 20 Oct 2003, 12:56 pmThank God for Brian Westbrook. I really don’t know what else to say about my Birds right now except they dodged a bullet yesterday and kept the season alive. What really burns me is that had they won last week (which they should have), they’d be 4-2 right now and tied with the Cowboys for [...]
I am defined
Filed in blog, Thu, 16 Oct 2003, 4:55 pmSo I was just poking around Google, doin’ my whole “let’s see where I am on the net” thing. I spell my first name with an ‘h’, but I did a quick check with ‘Tom Slattery‘ and the top links are still the CS guy from Arizona, an odd writer who discusses public housing and [...]
Digital photography
Filed in blog, , 12:48 pmI’m sure most of you in my legions of adoring fans have noticed the gallery I maintain on this website - just look at the menu to your right if you’re lost. It’s a delightful little romp through my drunken experiences around Hoboken… oh yeah, and some shots of my family. Since I bought my [...]
Lucas George
Filed in blog, Wed, 15 Oct 2003, 12:03 pmNo, this isn’t a Star Wars post. That’s my new nephew’s name - Lucas George Jackson. Before anybody accuses my sister and brother-in-law of being major geeks, the middle name George is for Alex’s father, just as their first born (Caleb Thomas) was named for Suzanne’s father (my father, too!). And just in case you [...]
Double negation and the art of reviews
Filed in blog, Fri, 10 Oct 2003, 2:11 pmI would like to read more. I have piles of books that I’ve purchased over the past few years (many with bookmarks buried inside) and very few that I’ve actually read. Yet I am still looking for more to buy. Most recently I’ve been considering Al Franken’s liberal-minded Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell [...]
