Pizza night

September 28, 2007

We have some friends coming up this evening – tomorrow we are hiking up 4043 foot Mt Passaconaway. Its about 4.6 miles from trail head to summit so it will be considerably longer than our first 4000 foot club hike but most of the trail is much less of an incline (until the last third [...]

Couldn’t help myself

September 24, 2007

Ok, Its a bit childish and sophomoric but I love The Family Guy. Its just so ridiculous its funny. Most of the time its not even witty, just foul language and bathroom humor but its like a drug – I’m addicted. And I just found a never ending crack vial of sounds from Peter Griffin [...]

I should do this more often

September 24, 2007

My wife doesn’t work a normal Monday – Friday week, she works Tuesday – Saturday and gets Sunday, Monday off. Originally done so as to match my work schedule when I had a normal job (that is before I quit and started my own home business). It has been convenient having a weekday off which [...]

Centennial Man

September 19, 2007

What a wonderful, exciting event it is. It seems I have hit the mental milestone and am now busily celebrating my centennial post. This being the 100th post on my blog, one would think that I have some profound prose to impart or perhaps partake in some wistful review of posts past but, alas, I [...]

I can’t believe I am going to talk about Barry Manilow

September 18, 2007

While normally I do not pay much attention to gossip shows with fluffy interviews, I found recent news about Barry Manilow and “The View” to be rather amusing. Manilow was to be a guest on The View today; however, his appearance was canceled by show producer Bill Gedde because he refused to accept Manilow’s request [...]

All along the watchtower

September 17, 2007

The Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway went off without a hitch this past Sunday, thanks in part to security specialist and master negotiator Mathew Butka. Despite the reprimanding the occasional stumbling drunk and confiscating various contraband, it was really a marathon babysitting session. Believe me, I am not complaining – after all I [...]

NHIS hires security expert for September race

September 12, 2007

Everyone can breathe a collective sigh of relief while you don your beer helmets, cut off shorts, and Dale Jr. shirts (too bad he is out of the Chase, but go Jeff Burton!). In an official announcement yesterday, September 11, at 6pm, New Hampshire International Speedway hired security professional Mathew Butka (that would be me, [...]

Typical guy

September 7, 2007

Even though I remember to put down the toilet seat, for most things I would have to say that I am a typical guy. I don’t read romance novels (or much of anything that isn’t a magazine), sometimes I find it difficult to look a woman in the eyes when she is talking, and my [...]

My favorite SNL sketch of all time – D$ck In A Box

September 7, 2007

I have been a casual fan of Saturday Night Live for many years now – they have had good years and not so good years. Its not that I watch every Saturday but at least once a month I will see an episode. I’ve been rather disappointed lately (last 2 years) that nearly every show [...]

The birth of Man Town

September 6, 2007

It has been long understood between my wife and I that when we have the money to do so, the basement (at least a portion of it) will be transformed into Man Town. Defined by a pub-like atmosphere and decor, Man Town will have the requisite lounge area with a huge, wall-mounted DLP TV and [...]
