Not Again

Unexpected news, even when expected, is always shocking. I was recently leafing through a copy of People Magazine’s “Sexiest Men of 2006” issue, and for the 30th consecutive time, I was not included in the top 200 Sexiest Men list. There is, however, a lot to be said for consistency. On the bright side, Mrs. Rogue tells me that I easily make her top 200, and could break into the top 100 with a good year…

On top of that bad news, the weather forecasters are predicting another big snow storm for us, possibly as much as 16 inches. That would make a total of three feet of snow in about 10 days, providing conclusive scientific evidence that global warming is no longer a concern. I may just go buy a big ol’ gas-guzzling SUV and do my part to help melt the snow and support the financially struggling oil companies…

The Blizzard and Naming Rights

This is my first attempt at blogging, so fasten your seatbelts, I'm sure it will be a bumpy ride...

Here, where the plains touch the Rockies, we've had a bit of snow. A lot of freakin' snow actually. It was good for two days off from work, and some sore arms/shoulder/backs and miscellaneous other body parts. Anyway, while recovering from shoveling, and after talking to my son who is a blogger, I thought I'd give blogging a try.

I found out that the first step is to come up with a clever name for your blog. That didn't really work too well for me...

Anyway, I recently had a minor medical procedure that left a small scar on my nose. My wife, somewhat sarcastically I think, said it made me look "roguish." Yeah, I said, "roguish in the way that slighty overweight guys from the suburbs who drive a desk for a living are roguish." Hence the name.
