Just some thoughts: Way back on Feb. 9, Madeleine Albright and Norman Schwarzkopf were on Meet the Press with Tim Russert. Here are two things that really stuck with me from that show:
Russert (quoting from The Washington Post): “When [Rumsfeld] makes his comments, it appears he disregards the Army…. He gives the perception that when […]

I remember watching Mister Rogers with Julien one time, four or so years ago, and thought how cool it was that here was a kids’ show from my childhood that had basically remained unchanged over all those years. The land of make-believe was almost exactly as it looked when I was two. Thirty years later, […]

Aftermath

Well, this was a great weekend. On Friday, we decided to go to Saxon Pub to see W.C. Clark who, as I mentioned before, played bass with Stevie Ray Vaughn. Malford Milligan opened for him. Dad really liked Malford, mostly because he was such a good performer, a real crowd pleaser and full of energy. […]

Who’ll it be? W.C. Clark, who used to play with Stevie Ray Vaughn, at the Saxon Pub, or Bob Schneider at Antone’s? There’s also John McVey and the Stumble at Joe’s Generic Bar. And that’s just tonight. Tomorrow night, I’ve got to choose between Guy Forsyth at Saxon, Monte Montgomery and Malford Milligan at Antone’s, […]

I may be crazy, but…

Okay, now this is a real stretch, and I’m sure there are plenty of people out there, even people who oppose the upcoming war with Iraq, who are gonna think I’m just plain nuts for even saying this. But here goes. Many people believe that Nostradamus, being the most sensational model of psychic abilities, predicted, […]

On a drizzly yet warm Thursday morning, I stepped outside to admire our new car, a maroon 2000 Volkswagen Jetta. It’s so bee-yoo-tee-ful. (Or as Ari says, “It’s sexy! Rowr!”) And once we sell the Honda (anyone want to buy one?), the Jetta will become Ari’s daily car, which makes me totally jealous. I think […]

Bugs and Butts

February 13th, 2003 · No Comments · michael8rown

I know it’s starting to sound like all I think about anymore are Volkswagens. But it’s not true. I also think about Ari quite a lot, especially when she wears those awesome green pants that totally show off her butt.
However, I have more VW news. I found the short in the Bug that was detailed […]
