Medical Marijuana Madness

This caught my attention in today’s news: Reverend Charles Edward “Eddy” Lepp, of Upper Lake, California, was convicted of growing 24,784 marijuana plants, and faces a mandatory sentence of at least ten years in prison, when he is sentenced on December 1, 2008. Lepp was arrested because (surprise!) his plants were visible from a [...]

Slacker Uprising is the latest documentary by Michael Moore, who has produced, and directed, three of the five highest grossing documentaries of all time.

Miami Springs, Florida
Girardi only had one year of managerial experience before Yankees. In 2006, he led Florida Marlins to 78 wins, [...]

Anticipating Autumn

Hurray for September! I hope My Summer Meltdown is finally over.
I ended my own summer yesterday, after injuring my hip and lower back. I return <sigh> to Physical Therapy in a week.
This is a new kind of injury for me. It hurts the most, when I am sitting on a chair, and try to [...]
