S L I M B O ' s S H E L F: Best of 2012 - New York Giants
http://slimbosbookblog-slimbo.blogspot.com/2012/12/best-of-2012.html
Sunday, December 9, 2012. Best of 2012 - New York Giants. MONDAY – FEBRUARY 6. The Giants won the Super Bowl, 21-17. It was a close, tense, ugly game which wreaked havoc on my nervous system and digestive tract. Carlo. Hosted us at his house for the game, as he does every year. This year he was kind enough to extend the invitation to football watching sons, which was important as I could not experience this game without Ben beside me. Than the actual realities of the NFL. The ball dropped incomplete.

Thursday, December 29, 2011. Troubling Events at 75 Meters. I listen to shortwave radio. I realize this is an odd anachronistic hobby for a 39 year-old suburbanite who should be empowering himself with yoga, reality television and crap purchased from the Apple Store. But long ago I had a shortwave radio in high school, a time before the interwebs. I have a Grundig. I spend most of my time on shortwave listening to Hams. I track their call signs and document everything I hear. I do this mostly out...Recei...

S L I M B O ' s S H E L F: 2012 - Predictions
http://slimbosbookblog-slimbo.blogspot.com/2012/01/2012-predictions.html
Monday, January 2, 2012. Will some massive piece of cosmic refuse smash us into stardust on December 21st, 2012? Well, if I'm looking at victorious Romney/Gingrich ticket in November of 2012, I sure as hell hope so. 2012 - this is the year it's all supposed to end. Of course, being a fan of shorwave. I'm a little leary. Of predictions, given that freak Harold Camping's. Spectacular End of Times fail in 2011. Boy that was fun to watch. If you're looking for a great read, Tom Perrotta's. Make this claim, b...

S L I M B O ' s S H E L F: Best of 2012 - New York Islanders
http://slimbosbookblog-slimbo.blogspot.com/2012/12/best-of-2012-new-york-islanders.html
Sunday, December 9, 2012. Best of 2012 - New York Islanders. The New York Islanders and I were born 40 years ago a few miles apart; the former in Hempstead the latter in Rockville Centre. Although I’m admittedly a casual NHL fan, I do harbor a strong affection for this team. I blame my adoration of Mets-borne calamities having no channel in the winter. So like many fans, I was troubled at the prospect of losing the Islanders to Kansas City or Quebec. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What are they doin...

Tuesday, January 1, 2013. Heavy Menace at Mohegan Sun. In tribute to the late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. It started on a Sunday morning. After making a nutritious breakfast for the children consisting of whole grains and fresh fruit, I went into the bathroom and shaved off my beard, leaving only a moustache that made me look like some suburban bastardchild of Juan Escobar and Robert Goulet. 8221; screamed my wife, “What have you done? And what has happened? A half hour later I was picked up at my office by ...

Monday, September 12, 2011. Why No One Is Hiring. Is old, but it's worth another look. To summarize, John Allison, chairman of BB&T loves Ayn Rand's. I mean he LOVES IT! So much so that he makes his executives read it. And BB&T donates millions to the 'Ayn Rand Institute', whatever the hell that is. Now, I don't own any stock in BB&T, but if I did, I'd sell it immediately. Christopher Hitchens. Perhaps put it best about Ayn Rand - Americans don't need further. And intellectual disinterest. 1% of our ...

Wednesday, October 12, 2011. I don't know what's going on but I'm finding I'm getting VHF/UHF reception I've never gotten before. On just my little Radio Shackl Pro-404 scanner, I was able to pick up a repeater from Southern Florida on 420.692 MHz. Hams from California, Tucson and the Carolina's. 12/29 Footnote - what I was picking up was repeater network. Radio geeks can read about it here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
