Nickelodeon Time Capsule

June 25, 2006

Do any of you remember back in 1992, Nickelodeon had a TV special where they buried a time capsule not to be opened until 2042?

IED in Belmont?

June 23, 2006

I was checking out the Belmont Police website earlier and was suprised to see that back in March, they found an IED on Pearson Road. For some reason, I didn't hear anything about this, and was suprised that the news channels didn't beat it to death as they do with every other scare-type stories.
Check it [...]

June 21, 2006

It's almost time for us all to go back down to Horseneck again! The older I get, the more I look forward to it. Every year I say it, but this year, I'm going to make sure our time down there lasts. I'm going to try and spend every hour possible on the beach, and [...]

Thank God Jury Duty’s Over

June 21, 2006

Five hours of sitting in an uncomfortable, crowded room, full of silent, smelly people, doing absolutely nothing was not the way I wanted to spend my Friday last week. It wouldn't have been as bad if maybe they had a TV in the rooms, or maybe even some music playing. Maybe they could have at [...]
