I met a couple of new people today.

I met Jeffrey Deskovic.

I met Fernando Bermudez.

I met Derrick Hamilton. I actually wrote a piece about him. It began like this:

What do Willie Nelson, Wesley Snipes Gordon "Sting" Sumner,  Dionne Warwick and now Lauryn Hill have in common?

They have all fallen victim to a judgment against them due to non-payment of taxes.

When I first heard what happened to Sting, it was to the tune of TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS. He was on the Howard Stern Show with his girlfriend/wife Trudy.

He mentioned that his accountant had screwed him; however, I never heard anything further in regards to that screwing.

I hope everyone had a good Cinco de Mayo!

John Sampson was entrapped by Shirley Huntley - that's the long and short of it.

But...was it just a ploy to take both players out of the game?

Read this excerpt for the Times-Union piece:

I really shouldn't have to work another day in my life.

I mentioned back in late March that I had a fall due to a treacherous patch of sidewalk.

I never went to the hospital; nor did I sue.

Someone else, however, did sue the City of New York, after falling on an area of sidewalk not far from where I fell.

Not one week passed after that fall, when construction began - as of now, all of the bad areas of sidewalk have been repaired.

That sidewalk has troubled my neighborhood for DECADES.

Mayor Bloomberg continues in his attempts to turn New York City into the Nanny Captial of the world.

His latest attempt to control what you and I do has lead him to attempt to raise the age of tobacco users to 21.

So - go ahead, sign up and possibly die for your country, but heaven forbid you should light up a stogie!

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg...do you season your foot before you stick it in your mouth?

Before I go off, let me state here, for the record, that I actually relished the idea of your becoming the mayor of New York City after the mess Rudulph Giuliani made of things. I knew that you couldn't be bought; not with the finances at your command.

What I, and the rest of New York City, didn't count on, was for you to sit in Gracie Mansion, and all of a sudden decide that you're the HNIC.

I've intimated that I'm a tech guy - I fixed someone's corrupted PowerPoint installation, and posted the fix online - that can be found at http://file-repair.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-fix-powerpoint-error-message.html

I get a freeware newsletter, and every once in a while, I'll see what's being offered. This looks to be very useful:
