Some of you may have noticed that the Krugman banners have changed ever so slightly -- I've added the Web address for this site to the banners. Why? Well, I found someone using the banner who wasn't linking back to this site, but instead to the original Krugman column. That I can deal with. But […]
It's a lost art in letter-writing, mainly because it can be difficult to pull off, but Robert J. Salvi of San Diego did it in this morning's Union-Tribune. I think it's a grand idea for Lincoln Middle School to rid itself of the Gifted and Talented Education, or GATE, stigma. In fact, I'm hoping other […]
After sitting in traffic for ages in the middle of the night last night as Caltrans worked on a portion of the I-15 -- work that is supposed to continue all week -- they did something smart tonight. After having traffic backed up for nearly a mile and an hour, they opened the carpool lanes […]
Not when the I-15 is a parking lot at 11 at night because they need to extend a bridge. For the rest of the week I'll try to use the 5. It's probably 25 miles extra, but I'm sure I'll get home quicker.
A few quick notes on today at Hoystory. We have confirmed visual evidence that the world's greatest niece is capable of bipedal motion.

We here at Hoystory wish a happy birthday to the world's greatest niece! We here at Hoystory realize that moving can be a pain. However, it has been several weeks since we have received photographs or videos. There is a rumor that Maddie has begun to master bipedal motion, but video evidence is needed to […]

The San Diego Union-Tribune, my employer, sent me something in the mail Saturday that no other employer I've ever had ever sent me. I received a one-page document that details my total compensation as an employee of the Copley Press. For the first time I saw how much it cost annually for my health insurance, […]
Pope John Paul II died today. Of course, it's not possible to not know this by now, it's been all over the Internet, radio and television. (I cannot concur with Michelle Malkin's outrage at the fact that CBS went ahead with airing the NCAA Men's Basketball national semifinals. The Pope died about 3 1/2 hours […]
