Good Gravy

12 November 2004

If it weren't already bad enough that I waste what time that I do on the Homestarrunner Web site, apparently there is also a Homestar Wiki which contains more information about the Homestarverse and Strongbadia than most mortal minds can comfortably comprehend. This however is to me, the best Homestar page ever.

So what was that anyway?

That last post was done entirely from my mobile phone. I used it to take the picture, type the caption, and from there I sent it to a service called Flickr.com which then automatically published it here. The only thing I did on the computer was go back into Blogger to change the title of the posting, because at first it was just the filename of the photo. But give me enough time and I'll figure out how to post that automatically as well. More on this subject to come in the days ahead.

A Memorable Birthday

For my birthday this weekend, Maggie and I headed out to Sagamore Hill. If you're not familiar, it's the summer home of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States. It was a simply gorgeous day in a wonderful setting. Maggie got some pictures and I hope to post a few here later. I was already a TR fan, but became a bigger one after reading Edmund Morris's two excellent biographical volumes "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt" and "Theodore Rex". I am eagerly awaiting volume three in the series. Here's more on the second book, including an interview with the author, from National Public Radio.

After that we drove to Brooklyn for a couple of double-dipped beef sandwiches at Brennan and Carr's. The first time I was there was for Maggie's birthday earlier this year. They serve a hot beef sandwich au jus, and the first time I had one I had one of those moments where you say "where has this been all my life?" It's apparently a local institution in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, and has been serving up the same food continuously since 1938, and it doesn't look like its changed much inside or out, which is a good thing. See item #49 on this "You know you're from Brooklyn when" list.
