A POSTAL CARD TWELVE YEARS ON A JOURNEY.
[New York Sun.]
CHICAGO, April 21. - Emerson & Co., commission merchants, yesterday received a postal card order from Tuscola, Ill. for a supply of blackberries. They were surprised at the order until it was discovered that the postmark bore a date of Aug. 15, 1882, and that the card had been twelve years in transit from Tuscola. The sender of the car, J. C.…

Where were you on July 17, 1955? Me, I wasn’t even a gleam in my then seven-year old mother’s eye. But if I were to somehow be transported back in time there is only one place I would have wanted to be on that fateful day. For that was the day that Walt Disney changed the world by opening what would become the most famous theme park in history: Disneyland. Despite the fact I haven’t really been a fan of…
For Those Who Think Corporate Propaganda Is A New Thing
Posted on January 4, 2008 - Filed Under Business, Technology | Leave a Comment
About 15 years ago I stumbled across a fascinating book (that was already dated at the time) about the history of capital punishment. This was not a political history, but a technological one. It dealt with the various methods governments have used throughout the ages to execute criminals. I was about halfway through when I accidently left the book in a purloined motel room in Kettleman City (a long and fascinating story unto itself). The portion I was reading at…

Part of the Boston Tea Party Series - Previous in series
On Saturday I posted a first hand account of the Boston Tea Party written by George Hewes, an impoverished colonial cobbler and member of the Sons of Liberty. In that article I stated that it was a 3% tax on tea that inspired the famous Boston Tea Party.

Time For Some Winter Sun and Surf
Posted on December 11, 2007 - Filed Under Travel | Leave a Comment
It’s getting might cold here in Morgan Hill. Sure, it’s still above freezing, but not by much and this is California, damn it! But I’m starting to think a little winter break to America’s other sunshine state may be in order. Yeah, I’m talking about Florida, home of more theme parks than anywhere else in the world. But I’m not thinking of visiting Mickey Mouse in Orlando. I’m thinking of something a little more laid back. Some winter sun and surf…
Bare Your Soul To Johnny Depp

I grew up in a theater family. My grandfather was famous throughout Northern California for playing Tevia in Fiddler On The Roof, my uncle still makes his living as a stage actor, and I was in my first play at the age of 6. Obviously, we attended the theater frequently, but I was mostly just a bored kid. Until, that is, I saw the road production of Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street in the early 1980s. Now…
