Disney World’s Nazi Secret Uncovered by WikiMe? October 13th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein ’ So, I was at Disney World last week, and it being one of the few times I have ever left my house, I figured it would be an ideal chance for me to test out the WikiMe iPhone app.

Another Parental Rite of Passage October 10th, 2008 2.5yo Guppy and I are off to the doctor’s office to get a strep culture. Never had to do it with 5yo Drake. It helps much that Guppy clearly is in pain as he swallows, and says his mouth hurts.

Buh-Bye, B Shows October 7th, 2008 Normally autumn, with its launch of the television season here in the US, is one of my favorite times of the year.

I did, however, engage in my guilty pleasure of indulging in a Classic movie that I am now thinking is toward the top of my Top Ten list of favorite classic movies.

Picture this.   It’s a few years from now, Nashville has run out of gas again, but this time it’s worse.  This time we officially have reached a “Mad Max” state and there’s a huge colony of us living in a deserted downtown area.  Sort of like the second Matrix, but without the weird rave scene.

Esquire’s “75 Books Every Man Should Read” September 24th, 2008 Esquire doesn’t even pretend to objectivity in its “75 Books Every Man Should Read“: An unranked, incomplete, utterly biased list of the greatest works of literature ever published. That’s a good thing. And many of the books are pretty good too.
