Possible Hiatus

Sunday, September 14, 2008

My wife and I are going to Maine tomorrow, and will return Wednesday. I don’t know if we’ll have internet access, so it’s possible there will be no further posts until then.

Technical Difficulties

Sunday, September 7, 2008

One of my readers said he had problems posting comments. When he tried, he got a message to the effect that comments were turned off to prevent comment spam. I never turned the comments off, but I have, since I found out about his problem, upgraded my spam filter, which I hoped solved the problem. […]

Dragonflies

Sunday, September 7, 2008

It’s almost too good a day to think about politics. There’s nothing happening anyway, except that the mortgage crisis is going into meltdown mode, (funny how these things tend to happen on Sundays lately) but who’s thinking about that? The remnants of Hanna seem to have scoured the air and, as such storms so often […]

More from Vermont

Monday, August 18, 2008

The Zucchini Fest is over. This legendary celebration, covering two days of revels, takes place on the town green, covering a broad expanse of […]

Greetings from Vermont

Monday, August 11, 2008

I write from beautiful Vermont, where at the moment it is pouring rain. I care not. It’s nice to have a couple of hundred miles between me and Norwich, Connecticut, with two work free weeks ahead of me. Unfortunately, life is full of minor disappointments, even on vacation. In years past the tenant who occupied […]

I’m out of here starting tomorrow

Friday, August 8, 2008

Tomorrow we make our annual trek to Vermont. It can’t come soon enough for me. Two weeks without looking at a legal file, or making the trek to Norwich. Blogging will be infrequent, and may be heavily weighted toward pretty pictures of beautiful Vermont.

Sweatshop at Apple

Thursday, August 7, 2008

Steve, say it ain’t so (and what does Al Gore, Apple Board Member have to say about this?): On Monday, a group of Apple technical staffers filed suit against Apple alleging that the company denied them overtime pay and meal compensation. Both the pay and meal compensation are required by California state law. The suit […]

That’s “Yogi”, with a “Y”

Sunday, August 3, 2008

Yesterday took place the last Old Timers Day game to be held at the present Yankee Stadium. The front page of the Courant’s sports section (paper, not on-line edition) has a picture of an aged gnome identified as “Jogi Berra”. Jogi? Surely someone was asleep at the editor’s desk. I have decided to believe that […]
