Tornado Chasing? Kinda.
Yes, this is my photo that I took myself. On my way home from the usual Friday errands, I spotted what looked like a tornado above the HSBC Building (the tallest building in Buffalo, NY). It seemed to be swirling a little, though there were no mammatas, strange sky color, and that air pressure feel with the wind going in a weird direction. Maybe a water spout, I thought, but I was too excited to care. I took a...
Tai Chi & I in the News
The Buffalo News ran an article "Healing in Motion" about Tai Chi (in particular in Western New York) this Saturday, which included excerpts from an interview with me. The journalist called me on the phone weeks ago and said the article was for the 1st of the month, which I never found so I didn't know what happened until people started telling me they read about me when I held class this morning. The article...
Obama & Religion
http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid463869411/bclid463916082/bctid416343938 I watched the whole video and was impressed. He was very artful in being open-minded about different sides of issues, showed philosophical insight into ethics and theology in a pluralistic society, and regardless of his personal stances has shown himself to be worthy of intellectual respect. You can even tell that he...
Yes, It Really Has Been 20 Years
This weekend was my St. Mary's High School (Class of '87) 20-year reunion. It was a wonderful time, almost like everyone was reincarnated into new lives and we just happened to remember our previous ones. Any awkwardness or clinging memories of who didn't get along with whom seemed to slip away if it was even still there at all after all these years. It was just great to see so many of them doing alright, living...
Mark my words.
I've been right all along about this global warming political extremist nonsense, so please catch up people: Less Than Half of all Published Scientists Endorse Global Warming Theory http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.Blogs&ContentRecord_id=b35c36a3-802a-23ad-46ec-6880767e7966 Nice fact about "consensus" on the issue, Al. Maybe you need to find another cause to panic-monger for a...
I found Jesus Christ
While doing some people-finding research, I grabbed a one-day pass to www.PrivateEye.com to help find school buddies for my reunion coming up. In the process, I found Jesus Christ. Actually, I found 5 in New York State alone. And if you are wondering if there is really a Jesus H. Christ, there are about four scattered across the country.
ALL women are beautiful
... especially when they have the gumption to show they are not ashamed of what God gave them. The women of the Monongahela Historical Society put out a calendar called "Ladies of the Mon: Vixens of the Valley". One of them is a real (still) alive 'Rosie the Riveter' and they are all precious. Yes, I bought a copy, and no, I'm not a pervert. But I will always support a broader view of human aesthetica,...
They Paved Paradise … But Not All of It
We went on a family outing to Niagara Falls yesterday. It's been a while since I've been there, maybe even not since our anniversary the year before last. A lot of changes on both sides of the border. We ate at the buffet in what used to be the convention center, now the "Seneca Niagara" casino, which is across from (boing) the "Niagara Aerospace Museum" -- which I can't wait to visit sometime. The buffet food...
Badge of Honor
I suppose it's about time someone retaliated against me for serving some truth and justice. I was already threatened earlier this year with frivolous legal action by a cult leader for publicly exposing their lies about academic credentials. But now someone (William Franklin of www.WillaimFranklinFraud.com) actually put up a website devoted to defaming me ... kenstuczynski(dot)com. Of course the guy is making it...
