It was 10 years ago tomorrow that one of the most horrific accidents happened in live music. On February 20 2003, The Station nightclub in West Warwick R.I. was set ablaze, killing 100 people due to pyrotechnics set off by the tour manager of the band Great White, best known for their song “Once Bitten Twice Shy.”
DirecTV customers on March 1st may lose WGME, Channel 13. It seems to be getting more and more common. Television companies and TV service providers both playing hardball with negotiation tactics that include hard deadlines, blackouts on television services, like cable, DirecTV and Dish Network.
Do you think police are out enforcing the law for safety’s sake, or for quotas and trying to create revenue? Police have been out looking for un-belted drivers and have found a few. I have asked officers in a social setting in the past about quotas and have never heard the word, “yes” in an answer. With 30 people getting pulled over on the Interstate for not wearing seat belts recently, are there no bigger crimes?
Here I am it's Sunday morning sipping coffee and waiting for my dryer to be delivered. There are still two loads of wet laundry in the basement left from Friday when the dryer died. I'm freaking about mold and mildew in jeans but I guess they're okay, I'll rewash the loads when the dryer gets here.
Birthdays, I used to love them now not so much. Years whip around faster than a merry-go-round it feels. At 11:37 Eastern time tonight, I turn 41. I'm still technically 40 and holding on to it for dear life. Statistically half way to being dead. Morbid I know, but it's true. Back in 1972 I was born in Whittier ,California a town outside of Los Angeles at 7:37 p.m. PST and weighed 5 lbs, 11 oz.
In the ever continuing discussion of the return to ferry service from Maine to Nova Scotia there is this to report. Quest Navigation, INC., a Maine company says they’re ready to lease a ship built to cross the English Channel for 165 Million dollars.
Valentine's Day is all but through. What did we do? It started bright and early this morning with the kids. We bought each of them a little something. Vikki's gift was a form or shape sorter, Dylan got a fedora that he wanted and Justin wanted and received a pair of Levis 510 super skinny jeans. And for Lynn, I bought her a two rose bouquet, card and Symphony bar her favorite type of candy bar.
This being Valentine’s Day and being a lover of power ballads and slow songs in general, I thought I’d give you a list of my favorite slow songs and why. There are songs that bring you back when you hear them, and some maybe you didn’t realize how much they meant to you until you hear them again literally 20-30 years later.
Tomorrow elementary kids will be trading Valentine's cards at their schools. My son Justin will be giving out candy with a 'to and from' already labeled on chocolates.
It happens every year in downtown Portland and I assume it will happen again tonight. On every Valentine’s Day for the past number of years someone puts up hearts in windows all through downtown Portland. He, she or they are the 'Valentine's Bandit.' The Question is, "Who does it?"
