Update: Saints win 23-20…Bwahahahaha…! This is the day I’ve been waiting for… New Orleans Saints vs. the San Francisco 49ers. A day that will live in infamy? The times that try men’s souls? How about it was the best of times, it was the worst of times? Fine, I’ll take the latter and in a few hours I’ll be sitting calmly in a bar in … Continue reading Knitting behind enemy lines…
Walking down Polk Street and taking a left onto Sutter, I passed the entrance to one of the many bars just as a rather rotund fellow came stumbling out. He said something to me, rather excitedly but I had ear phones on and couldn’t hear him. Again, we do that here so random strangers typically don’t try to talk to us, but he was insistent. … Continue reading It happened again last night…
I like to keep a low profile. I’m the background guy, the one standing in the back of the room, watching, paying attention and figuring out what to do next… It’s a role I’m most comfortable and familiar with and my ability to hide in plain sight works well, most of the time. You see, in the city of San Francisco, I live in one … Continue reading Not so undercover…
Last night I attended a little shindig put on by Down, a great band from New Orleans. Great show. Knew all the songs. Got some bruises. A lot of spilled beer. I suppose that’s all I need to say about it and if it had been a normal night, maybe that’s all I would…but when I got home after the show, a quick eight block … Continue reading Down: A little New Orleans in San Francisco…
Ed update… I’m really not happy with Greg Williams…and Roby back on a return? WTF? Having lived in both New Orleans and San Francisco, and having plans to move to San Francisco in eleven weeks, one might think I might be a bit conflicted about the playoff game today between the Saints and the 49ers… One might be wrong. Yes, I love the City by … Continue reading Saints vs. the Ghost of Mike Nolan…
Down – On March the Saints . I’m fortunate enough to have a supervisor who’s ensured my work schedule will be clear through all Saints playoff games, all the way to the Super Bowl… Helps he’s a Saints fan too…enjoy the game everybody… Who Dat!!! Have a nice day. Continue reading It’s that time again…SAINTS!
Hey everybody… Yeah, I’m still around, preparing to launch back into things on the 1st of the year, but I couldn’t let the days get by without some holiday wishes to all in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast… Best to everybody this season…Christmas, New Years and everything else everybody celebrates… Me, I’ll be driving even further north than I already am to spend … Continue reading Merry Christmas all…
Did you hear an internet group in Michigan has raised over $63,000 dollars to put a statue of Robocop in downtown Detroit? No, I’m not kidding. It’s completely true, and a fantastic idea. If not familiar with the Robocop legend, allow me to so inform: Robocop is a cyborg police officer who not only was a one man wrecking crew in stopping crime all over Old Detroit, but he was a robot … Continue reading Saints vs. Detroit, Robocop and Nazi Sympathizers…
Ed. Note…well, that statement was certainly painful, especially to Mike Smith… The Atlanta Falcons… Hate them. Really hate them, how can you not? Their quarterback has a nickname and the look of some asshole in Top Gun, one of the worst freaking films ever made, and I say that thinking Val Kilmer is pretty cool overall…little bloated these days, but there was a time I’d watch … Continue reading Saints vs Atlanta – Do it for Val!
I know I said I’d be back on Monday, so I’m late, my bad… been doing some thinking this week about the website, reading the news, hanging out, taking a break…etc…and the one thing I can’t seem to get out of my head is this… The number of people from Transocean, Halliburton and British Petroleum who have spent a day in jail as a result … Continue reading A day late and a dollar short…
