Now this is a sexy website to find in your inbox after a quick weekend getaway…
Decency Rules Should Apply to Pay TV:
“Cable is a much greater violator in the indecency area,” the Alaska Republican told the National Association of Broadcasters, which represents most local television and radio affiliates. “I think we have the same power to deal with cable as over-the-air” broadcasters.
I, ahem, respectfully disagree…
Do you have SBC DSL but use a different provider for email? Were you having trouble sending email today? Yup, it happened to me too. I’d already dumped one ISP for committing this same atrocity, among others. It is to SBC’s credit, though, that they at least allow customers to opt out of this particular “service”…
Unrelated: is the following paragraph one the single worst-written one you’ve read this month or what?
While the United Kingdom is the most popular destination for U.S. companies to expand beyond domestic markets and into rapidly growing European markets, Wales is increasingly a primary destination of choice for Bay Area, West Coast and North American businesses pursuing new opportunities in booming European markets.
The whole article, ummm, lacks a certain clarity, but that first paragraph is a lulu. If I recall correctly, the Chronicle used keep a copy editor or two standing by in the newsroom for just such an emergency…
I am now important. I have finally earned my first free night as the Red Roof Inn frequent sleeper. Yup. It’s class all the way for me…
Since I’m doing such a stellar job of keeping my personal web journal up to date, I’ve also added one over there, for those of you who may care. It is, after all, my most popular website now, so some fresh content couldn’t hurt…

Anyway, now that I’m home I can reveal that Mark and I were in San Diego and Long Beach over the past long weekend, that we ate well and met up with Shane and Chuck, that we spent an extra day on the road getting the car fixed so we could come home, and that it was very moist all over Southern California all weekend long, which was rather refreshing…
I’ll probably have more to say on the subject later…

Think what you will about his music; it’s not really my cup of sour mash, either. But you can’t help but love that man’s jacket…
A year ago this morning, I was cold, wet, and exhausted, but quite excited because I was about to marry the most wonderful boy in the world…

So is there anyone out there who just happens to live in Charlotte and just happens to have a spare job they’re not using right now? Or, more specifically, one that they won’t be using starting aroung the middle of June?
Just wondering…

And while I’m at it: what’s a good pizza place in Charlotte nowadays? It’s been a long time…

The date has been set…
