AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND — The Christmas season in sun-kissed New Zealand is normally a chilled-out, festive time more likely to involve beaches and barbecues than robust debates on the story of Jesus’s birth. But this year, many here are caught up in the latter (on the beach and around the barbecue, of course), because of [...]
On Friday, Memphis resident Muhammad Ibrahim entered seven businesses and informed them that if they didn’t close, he would blow them up. Then, when the police pull him over, they discover that he has been telling people that he wants to conduct jihad in Memphis. The police arrest him, and he kicks out the back [...]
Morning all. 09:41:12 Wil fills the coffee pot with the sprayer. Too bad there are holes at the level on the back. 10:27:28 Denise got Wil more smokes yesterday. I sure as hell wouldn't have. 15:41:34 Wil doesn't know his musical instruments. Everybody tell him how much he sucks. Grin. 19:26:18 Damn! I forgot to [...]
John is now on Twitter. They've changed the sign-up process. Don't like having to type words. What the hell were they thinking? 17:46:45 Theresa is making deviled eggs. We will be eating more tonight. The temperature has dropped and so it's nippy out. 18:14:08 John's becoming quite the Twitter jockey. 18:18:11 Wil is sucking down [...]

Walking to Walgreens and then Estellas. Done at Estellas, at the AVC store getting egg nog. 19:05:30 Stopping at Publics to grab some groceries. 19:08:42 Wil is molesting stuff on the shelves. We keep smacking him but it doesn't do any good. Grin. 19:49:31 Back home from getting groceries. Enjoyed the walk. 20:52:47 We seem [...]
Having breakfast, then will finish packing and straightening up around here. 06:07:10 Batteries… Where did I put my stash of AAA bateries… 08:51:25 On the way to the airport. 10:27:16 Made it through security, flight was held in Charlotte so is not here yet. 10:59:23 Boarded. Should still make the connecting flight. 11:46:47 Landed in [...]
Morning all. Welcome to Thursday. Packing and straightening up today. 10:39:07 Nice. There's a snow storm advisory for tomorrow's flights. Fun times, all around. Hopefully things don't get delayed too badly. 15:03:18 How's this for data transfer: A single sperm has 37.5MB of DNA info in it. A normal ejaculation represents a data transfer of [...]
