The Curious Case of ‘Where the Hell has Roach Been’?

1st off, I’ve got to laugh. I’m sure the new Brad Pitt extravaganza is an excellent movie and perhaps Academy Award worthy (which means blah to me). But correct me if I’m wrong: Didn’t Mork & Mindy introduce this whole ‘born old, die young’ notion with the character Mearth? And please, Brad Pitt can’t possibly… Read More »

Our God is a Vengeful God

On the coldest day of the year, the heater in the car doesn’t work. Oh Lord, why hast thou forsaken me? Life revolves around the delicate balance of if and when to renew the vehicles in the household. In a duo-car home, the situation you want to have is to have one car that is… Read More »

Blast from the Past courtesy of the Wizards

I braved the blustery snow storm today to grab a sub from the Wizards. While in line a familiar face walked into line behind me. Naturally, the wizard knew this person much like he knows pretty much everbody in this town. “Well, if it isn’t the professor. How our you Dr. McCutcheon?”. No wonder he… Read More »

Hockey and stuff

Last Saturday I spent a VERY rare moment watching a bit of the hockey. There was a big hub-bub in both Montreal and T.O. around the retirement of 2 jersey numbers: 33 and 17 respectively. It’s funny, I was a HUGE fan back in the 80’s and into the early 90’s. Patrick Roy was a… Read More »

Dr. Mario on the Mame!

I found Dr. Mario on my Mame machine last night. I should start looking for other games some day. I may be surprised what I find. But with the little amount of spare time I have, it’s always Robotron 2084 for me! I’ve got to figure out how the pros complete all 255 screens. I… Read More »
