This site’s been not much more than excuses for not posting lately, hasn’t it? I had to spend the last few hours out at Parkland interviewing the injured. Pretty much the worst part of being a reporter, if you ask me.
Vegas was fun this weekend, even though it’s not exactly my kind of place (not being a gambler beyond $5 March Madness pools). The official slogan of the weekend was “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” so I can’t tell you about the raucous all-night chess matches, the 3 a.m. knitting circles, or the other examples of bachelor party debauchery.
My inner education reporter was amused by this.
Sea Ray fans: their show at Maxwell’s tonight will be webcast at 9 p.m. EDT.
A big slap across the face to the cretins at the Ohio BMV. I finally discovered why my car insurance rates suddenly doubled earlier this year: they somehow invented an accident I was apparently at fault in 1999. (I was in an accident then, but it was not my fault — the guy got a ticket for reckless endangerment when he [southbound] turned left in front of me [northbound].) Thanks, faceless bureaucrat!
My struggles to clear my inbox are finally meeting with success. I’m down to two emails left to reply to. Of course, one was written in May 2001, so I shouldn’t pat myself on the back too much.

I’ve been meaning to send you an email.
Wow, thanks for the tip on the show at Maxwell’s. I’ll try to see it there or online.
Also, I hope you got everything straightened out with the Ohio BMV.
After nearly 6 years of marriage, I finally changed my name on my driver’s license and with Social Security last year. I filled out the form to add my husband’s name to mine not change it completely. Despite being incredibly legible (Penmanship was my only strong suit in elementary school) and signing the part that gets put on your license properly–the surely overworked Ohio BMV employee, changed my name completely. Then I got a letter this year saying that my Social Security records don’t match my name on my license! And I should fix this by dragging out the Marriage license AND PAYING FOR IT ALL OVER AGAIN. This is of course not as costly as insurance, but if I get a ticket in the meantime and can’t prove who I am…By the way, the BMV in Ohio has been privatized, which just goes to show you can take the Ohio BMV out of the hands of the bureaucrats but you can’t take the bureaucrat out of the BMV. It’s always somethin’
