Barbie is running for president, and guess what! She's in favor of World Peace! And she can probably even name some of the countries!!! Which is more than we can say about some candidates, which we won't name, because Barbie would only run on a positive campaign!!!!!!!!

Nice story this morning in the Chicago Tribue about the likelihood of renovating and developing Chicago's Union Station.

Don't just think about yourself. Spend some time with otters.

A fairly strong collection of rants all received by e-mail.

Minor league baseball players labor in obscurity, keeping their spirits up with the thought that they are only two steps away from the show. Frank Priegue spent a considerable bit of time photographing the twelve-team AA Northeastern League, and has assembled a generous selection of well-annotated photos for this site. This is one of my favorites.

Okay, Theo, I went to your web site, so, what about the shoes?

Need some professional help with a cyberspace investigation? Here is your guy. Maybe. If what you read doesn't convince you, perhaps the background music might!

If I didn't already think I wanted to see the Northern Lights, which I certainly already did, this would for sure make me want to go. As it is, it makes me want to go even more!

Absolutes can get a person in trouble, so I shy away from saying that this is absolutely the most disgusting set of menu graphics that I have ever seen. I must allow for the possiblity that there is something worse.

It was not Katie Couric that told me that my individual risk for colon cancer was low, but rather the Harvard-based Your Cancer Risk site, with its survey of my life and habits. There are four online interviews avaialable. I didn't try the one about prostate cancer. Yet.

Hooray! Susan and I have taken to giving out numbered door prizes when we have a nice sized group of people over, as we did for last evening's Easter gathering. They seem to like it.

Last night, in my dream, I was at some kind of benefit event and had just bought five chances at a chicken dinner for two dollars apiece, and asked an accountant friend to borrow his pen to write down my numbers for the drawing.
"James, if you wanted a chicken dinner, you could have gotten one for a lot less than ten dollars," he said, nevertheless handing me the pen. He was an accountant in the dream, and is an accountant in real life, too.
"I didn't buy a chicken dinner," I replied. "If I win, the chicken dinner will be a bonus. What I bought for ten dollars was the thrill of the chance."
This was all in the dream.

Here is a page I found with a bunch of pictures from a model train museum. I love this stuff.

Happy Easter! From the vaults of the Internet, here is a (reponsibly self-disclaiming) rant.

Shoppers take note: Ground meat is our friend!

Now you can send an on-line greeting that is truly special and personalized.

Should I be relieved? It seems that, even though those of us who live along the Gulf coast are in for a series of dreadful pummelings from hurricanes over the next few years, the destructive cycle that's coming round is not, in fact, related to global warming. I'm plenty scared, but at least I don't have to feel guilty!
