Not even more than 12 hours after I finish this post about the need to test elderly drivers, The Boston Globe reports that this has happened.
An 83-year-old Malden man is facing charges of negligent operation after the 12:26 p.m. accident at Old Cambridge Road and Russell Street, said Woburn Police Sergeant Robert Giannotti. Police will […]

Grinding my gears
June 30th, 2009 · No Comments
I’m rather perturbed this morning before work, and it’s not just because I’m up early and can’t fall back to sleep.
I’m watching a news report on television about the state taking away a license from another elderly person. A 86-year-old driver hit and hurt an elderly pedestrian badly this past week. This is […]

The best new HBO show
June 28th, 2009 · No Comments
Just finished watching TrueBlood with Chris. If you’re not watching this show, you need to be.
I’ve never gotten into vampire shows. Didn’t understand the Buffy craze — in the movies or on the television — and I have no idea what the hell Twilight is about. But TrueBlood has great writing, great characters and even […]

Celtics standing pat?
June 26th, 2009 · No Comments
The Cavs traded for Shaquille O’Neal.
The Magic traded for Vince Carter.
The Celtics insulted Rajon Rondo.
Are we the third-best team in the East now? I still like us ahead of Orlando IF (and it’s a big IF) they don’t resign Hedo. But Shaq and LeBron on the Cavs? Might that be what they need to give […]

I’m a Google suggestion!
June 18th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Since yesterday I spent my time making fun of LeBron and Kobe for being egotistical jerks, I kind of feel hypocritical for being one myself today.
But it’s on a much smaller scale, one where LeBron and Kobe have already succeeded many times over: Google suggestions.
You know how if you start typing in the Google […]

Artie Lang saves Joe Buck Live
June 15th, 2009 · No Comments
I was sitting around the apartment earlier channel surfing with Chris and Mike when “Joe Buck Live” rolled by on the on-screen guide. Either Chris or Mike — I forget which — urged me to check it out.
I’m glad I did.
Not because Buck had a sit down interview with Bret Favre and talked about playing […]

I’m not amping up
June 8th, 2009 · No Comments
As I got off the T today after a long day at work, I was accosted.
Not really. But I was stopped not once, but twice, by people pitching the Mountain Dew Energy Drink “Amp.”
I have no idea why this is happening now. Amp has been around forever. In college, I got through finals sophomore […]

I need yelp
June 5th, 2009 · No Comments
I’ve become ridiculously obsessed with Yelp. I don’t know if it’s an opportunity to write more or to write about subjects, but I completely love using it.
I’ve started updating it basically every Sunday night/Monday night with everywhere I’ve gone on the weekend and other places that I’ve been to during the week. I’ve talked about […]
