Lifeless?

Do you know where I was when the Wal-Mart opened at 5 a.m. this morning for the early shoppers?
I was sound asleep is where I was. And I was sawing logs at 4 a.m. when the other stores opened to cater to the, well, lunatics who get up that early to go shopping.
Shopping.
Shopping is what [...]

Getting Rich on the ‘67 Red Sox

 
Well, I didn’t get rich but I had a great time.
Being in a reminiscent mood, writing about annoying Burmese junta terrorists in the last blog item, I fall to woolgathering over the 1967 Red Sox — also with a Southeast Asian flavor.
With so many marking the 40th anniversary of the Impossible Dream season of 1967, [...]

Preserve, Protect and Defend

“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”So George W. Bush solemnly swore. Twice.Looking for high crimes  and misdemeanors to impeach the man, that would be a good [...]

Meals On Wheels

They’re at it again. The supermarket madmen are on the loose once more.
Every six months or so the moguls at the market decide to change things. Seeing through their eyes in the ceiling that the customers are content and pleased to discover the aspirin is near to the bandages and that the milk is close [...]

Precedents

Struck by the obvious parallels in lies and blunders and manipulations and anti-American spirit of the American leaderships’ mirror image wars in Vietnam and Iraq, who’d have imagined that there was such an earlier parallel to absorb?
An earlier royalist, anti-people, anti-liberty, anti-Democracy, fervent enemy of all the freedoms and noble liberties that America would come [...]

You May Not Remember Me ….

The Internet sets us to soaring — when it works. When the blog world locks up, it’s like being frozen in amber: dead for all the world to see.
But with the web-masterful hand of my dear son at the e-helm, the thing has finally been chopped loose like one of Al Gore’s ice blocks calving [...]

back from the dead… we hope

Please bear with us as we try to resurrect DenisHorgan.com.
We’ve switched to WordPress after being abandoned and left for dead by Blogger – thus the temporary new look. We’ll have to re-learn some things, but hopefully Denis Horgan will be back blogging by this evening when he returns from the Red Sox/Devil Rays game.
(it’s [...]

What’s New?

Watching the news with the sound turned off:
Traveling around a lot over time I try to avoid the news. Usually it’s too depressing, too much a reminder as to why I enjoy traveling around all the time so much. But it can’t be done and, likely, it shouldn’t be done.
So it is that I watch [...]

Wat?

Hi from Siam Reap, neighborhood to AngkorWat. We blew out of Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon to us geezers, and rattled around the Mekong Delta and took a neat boat ride to get to Phnom Penh yesterday.
This is getting a bit frayed out at the edges, changing locales so often but there’s so much to [...]
