Mike, You’ll need a bigger monitor (40,784 x 26,800 pixels), or a bunch of monitors, to see this picture all at once. Ed
Mike, I was jogging steadily on the treadmill at the gym where Dom and I play racquetball, when Dom tapped me on the shoulder. “I’m going into the court to warm up”. Our court time wasn’t for 5 minutes, but Dom likes to push the envelope. I said, “OK, I’ll be there in a couple […]

Michael, Nothing exciting happened yesterday at the rakkity-young’uns rematch. Patrick arrived late, due to meetings that he couldn’t quit from early. I had just about given up on his and his sister’s arrival, and was heading upstairs to the treadmills and ellipticals, when they both arrived, carrying 3 racquets and beaming broadly. Down at the […]
Michael, After our last racquetball game on Thursday last, Katie revealed that she had asked Patrick to join us for a game of cut-throat sometime in the coming week . So tomorrow, Patrick, Katie, and their more-or-less healed dad will be hitting (gently, gently) the court. Meanwhile, Dom has had the cast removed from his […]
Mike, For the last few years I’ve been noticing changes in the freeway sound barriers in Maryland. They seem to be gathering foliage at a much faster rate than they used to. Can this be a harbinger of climate change? Botanists say that Kudzu and Creeping Charlie and some other vines are growing 2 or […]
Mike, There’s a wonderful picture on APOD today. A couple of years ago, I was shown how to see Venus during the daytime, and of course everyone has seen the moon a few times in daylight, but this is far, far better. I’ll be coming up with a nice montage of Freeway art later today. […]
Mike, As I was leaving Starbucks this morning, who should I see coming towards me but The Once Proud Dominator, Dominic. We both said “Hi!”, and then I looked down at his right hand. It was swathed in an Ace bandage, and his pinkie finger was strapped to a metal flange. “What did they do […]

Michael, The past couple of weeks, the Mrs & I have had the worried feeling that things were going too smoothly in our housing transactions. First, improbably enough in this market, our house sold on the very first Open House day. Then with incredible luck, after only a week of searching, we found a great, […]

Mike, Here’s an interesting factoid about Boulder weather–90 mph winds in December and January are surprisingly common. The attached picture shows a bar chart of occurence of winds in a recent 35 year period (1967-2002). In the months of December and January, there have been 41 90-mph “Chinooks” in Boulder. Chinooks are warm, fast, steady […]
