Enjoying a sister brew of Chimay right now, Duvel.

Started going to an accountant when my side business turned into my main business. I used to use tax programs, but one year I used two different ones, only to get two very different answers. I decided to go to an accountant at that point, who foun…

Yes, I do feel sad when (some) people I don't "know" die. This is usually when i have an emotional connection to someone: either someone famous represents ideas or a trajectory I admire, or someone anonymous well symbolizes who we all are. In t…

My votes are for The Flaming Lips (though the previous effort "The Soft Bulletin" is better than this year's "Yoshimi) and Wilco (I'm liking "Yankee" better than "Summerteeth").

ZO, that sucks. It reminded me of some of the words to "Eurotrash Girl" by Cracker: "The C.R.S. on the métro / shook me down for a bribe On my knees for the sargeant / when my passport arrived..." BTW US immigration might be one of the thing…

Got a Passat (GLX) myself. 1. The V6 is smooth but as I understand it the 1.8 turbo is no slouch: it's definitely more "race car like" of the two. VW wrings a lot of torque out of their engines, meaning that while off-the-line might feel a tad…

C'mon, spiff, it's much more interesting to debate the substance of the post than to start up, again, with the editorial bias of the New York Times. Why don't we just agree that the Times skews left, WSJ right and the the Washington Times is owne…

Hello Doctor. I once, in a fit of real decadence, took a cheese tasting course. Unbelievable. Pure luxury. Europeans have the benefit of many types of raw milk cheeses to choose from: for import into the US, these must be aged a certain num…
