My fifteen minutes of fame begin tonight with the final Allman Brothers concert of the season at the Beacon Theatre. For all my hard work and dedication, I will be listed somewhere in the closing credits as the Master Hamster Wrangler. I should probably choose a bit more dignified a title for the Clapton concerts in May . . .
My conversion to the Dark Side is complete. I watched my wife go over and scoffed at her, how easily-led she was, how willing to lock herself in to a predetermined path. Then came Vally, showing me the power and ease of using the dark side. I liked my freedom, [...]

The goldfish is dying. He quit eating on Friday, and has been swimming sideways since Saturday. I can see him gasping, but beyond providing a quick and (hopefully) painless death, have nothing I could do for him. Poor little guy. It would be kinder to end his life now, but [...]
Okay, twenty more minutes to the Rapture. Have you made arrangements for your pets yet? I think I’m going to sit this one out, thanks. The kids and I have decided that watching Dr. Who is more exciting.
