What Is David Moyes Up To These Days, And Why….?

This Is What It’s Come To, Again….   When we last checked in on David Moyes, he’d been appointed manager of Manchester United at the behest and recommendation on  of Sir (Lord) Alex Ferguson who was retiring after 26 years on the clock.

Amtrak 8 will be arriving on YOUR planet shortly!!   I’ve pored through my photo archives and it dawned on me that I really have almost no pictures of Amtrak 7, the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle.

The Feeling Grows Within Me

social media sucks

My Room With A View   The feeling grows within me that what I see out my window here is increasingly relevant to nothing other than itself. This would not necessarily be a bad thing if I were delivering a sermon at your church, but in this case it releases the impulse to communicate, applies…

Abandonment

My blog, recently….   I’ve been on the verge of filing a petition with the Federal Railroad Administration for the abandonment of this blog.

Here Comes The Train Again….

Premier League 2015 Season

Approaching WATFORD….enroute to LEICESTER CITY.   The English Premier League has thrown me a curve this season. Last season, for the most part they were tossing straight up heat, reaching back and bringing the cheese.

The English Premier League Weekend in poetic form.   Since I’m not well versed (see what I did there, Clive?) in classical Japanese poetry, I can’t and will not even pretend to try anything more clever than  a well known 3 line poetic form based on the concept of 5 syllables, then 7 syllables and…

Louis van Gaal and Manuel Pelligini share a bit of pre-Manchester Derby banter….   The most important thing that will happen tomorrow, as I write this, or one hundred years ago, as you read this, is the Manchester Derby.
