LaGuardia Airport Is Terrible!

By jelewis8 ⋅ August 10, 2007 ⋅ 2 comments

For future travel planning purposes, here’s a helpful hint from Jeremiah and his lovely girlfriend Emily, who recently tried to travel to Roanoke out of New York by way of LaGuardia airport, via United.
Em’s original flight out was to have been 7:30pm on Thursday, but due to weather (Emily reported sky was clear at the [...]

Fringecast 21

By jelewis8 ⋅ January 10, 2007 ⋅ One comment

To celebrate the millennium, we here at Fringecast decided that nothing but an extravagant, balls-to-the-wall all out Fringefest was needed to ring everything in all good and proper-like. So we’ve packed an hour’s worth of content into one amazingly spiffy casting session, complete with a movie trailer AND a commercial. Can you believe we do [...]

Fringecast 16

It’s not every day you get a chance to spar with the best and come out on top. But with this Fringecast, Joe and I do that, squaring off with such diverse topics as retro weather reporting and the ethics of finding money on the street or in the woods, with the eventual but inevitable [...]

Living In The Land of No Complaints

By jelewis8 ⋅ August 1, 2006 ⋅ 5 comments

It’s odd. The things about summer I’m used to being annoyed at are mostly not applicable here in sunny Southern California. Virginia was a twisted alcoholic when it came to the weather; you never knew when she was going to come home and start slinging dishes at you, or just drop into bed and snooze [...]

Cocoa Krispies and Haircuts

By jelewis8 ⋅ October 6, 2005 ⋅ 4 comments

You haven’t lived if you haven’t eat Cocoa Krispies for breakfast. No, wait, what I mean to say is, if you want to live, don’t eat Cocoa Krispies for breakfast. Or any other meal, for that matter. This is clearly a cereal marketed toward the part of a kid’s brain that has no intention of [...]

Lewis 500

How did I miss the first day of summer? How many times have I harped about the changing weather, the seasons, the changes and the bizarre temperatures, and then to go and neglect a mention? Much worse, I forgot it was even here already.
Already. As if it’s been so long in coming. To my mind, [...]

Some Kind of Sanity

By jelewis8 ⋅ June 7, 2005 ⋅ 4 comments

And the rains finally came. The entire day has been one long orchestral wind-up, weather’s equivalent to a goldfish’s mortal end after a lifetime of swimming and slow growth. Inevitable, yet somehow, not significant. That’s the trouble with summer. You’re always battling the rains that build like ancient pyramids. Just once you want to scream [...]

D-Day At 61

By jelewis8 ⋅ June 6, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

I nearly forgot. Today was the 6th of June. A day which not so very long ago brought heroes and cowards out in the full light of strafing gunfire and murderous artillery on the beaches of Normandy. We’ve all seen the movies, read the history books, heard the accounts of survivors and observers on the [...]

Pushing to Spring

By jelewis8 ⋅ March 23, 2005 ⋅ 5 comments

I woke this morning at five in the AM to hear a steady, but not heavy rain. Two days after spring, I thought, and right on time. You can almost feel a turn in the weather, even though yesterday was chilly and grey, like a room in which the heat’s been turned on, but takes [...]

Offer Life

Happy Spring. The time of year when new things grow, flowers bloom and trees begin to blossom with buds, animals and people make more babies, the sun shines more brightly and longer, the weather gets balmy, and the rains come.
Oh yes, and for one woman and her husband, there’s a huge national drama to perpetuate. [...]
