By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Feb 18th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Back by popular demand! And by popular demand, I of course mean absolutely nobody asked me if I would be Idol blogging again this year. However, it’s my blog and I can indulge in vapid pop culture if I want to. Just a couple of thoughts about last night.

Brother’s Pizza Fail X 2

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Feb 16th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

So we decided to mix up the take out habits a bit and ordered from Brother’s this evening. When we got there to pick up our pizza it was not ready. It wasn’t even made. They weren’t busy. When the pizza finally came out of the oven it had the wrong toppings. Really guys, it’s […]



Does Sheldon have Asperger’s?

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Feb 16th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I’m a big fan of The Big Bang Theory on CBS. I’d never really thought about this before, but character Sheldon Cooper certainly does display all the classic traits of Asperger’s.
Either way the show is funny. Any show that will make a reference to the spherical cow joke and just expect it’s audience to get […]

Chancellorsville and Wilderness Battlefields

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Feb 15th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

With the girls out horsing around, Breck and I took advantage of the reasonable weather to tour Chancellorsville and Wilderness Battlefields. This was not our first time, although it has been about 4 years and both if us are much better versed in Civil War history today.

Chancellorsville was an important battle and I think the […]

Morning: Removing “XP Antivirus Cop” malware infestation from son’s PC. It’s a fake antivirus program that throws up bogus warnings in an effort to get you to register the program with your credit card.

Colorado school does away with grade levels

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Feb 13th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

A failing Colorado elementary school is trying a dramatic new experiment. They are doing away with grade levels and advancing kids only as they master the material. Kids that get it will help their classmates.
Now that I’ve typed that, it doesn’t seem so radical. I think I’ve heard something about people doing that. I just […]
