I like a good magic trick as much as the next guy, which is why I love it when people expose TV magicians for being camera-angle frauds. Today’s Reveenesque doucheflake? Criss Angel. [Members.cox.net]
Facing Middle Age With No Degree, and No Wife, according to the New York Times, is a swelling crisis for men…I think?

A short jaunt to Lowe’s yesterday to get stuff to make shelves turned into an all day adventure, but I have to say I enjoyed myself. (And made it out of Lowe’s with only one new power tool, a cheapo Black & Decker finishing sander.) I am just using pine boards for the shelves, although [...]
So what do you guys think? Is Harrison Ford too old? Is a over-60 Indy just weird? Or is possibly going to rule?
