My cousin Steve Pate and Nicolette Sheridan hit the beach

My cousin Steve Pate in the water at Malibu with Nicolette Sheridan

With story from Entertainmentwise and MailOnLine

My mother told me in Halifax two weeks ago that everyone had lost touch with our cousin Steve Pate from Los Angeles. All of a sudden my aunt in Texas sends everyone these shots of Steve and Nicolette Sheridan at the beach in Malibu. No wonder he’s not replying to my tweets.

Does Steve have something in his eye or is he avoiding the camera. Some one said the sheriff was out looking for him, something about horses. I don’t know. He’s my cousin and we stand by him. Continue reading →

The continuing adventures of my cousins Stephen Pate

One day a few years ago, I came across my long-lost cousin from the States Stephen Pate while surfing the net. He had a website called StephenPate.com. In our family, we usually defer to the oldest family member when registering dot.coms except when your cousin beats it to it.

Stephen, my cousin and not the one I’m named after, has an interesting career. In 2006 he opened a shop in Milwaukee to fix motorcycles. Starting with $500 and a Craigslist listing, Restoration Werks was so busy that he soon was working on more than 80 motorcycles.

This proves the inherent value of Craigslist for real people doing really important work. I don’t think my cousin was running a sex ring out of the back of his shop like some people who use Craigslist. See State AG ultimatum to Craigslist: Pull racy ads or face prosecution Continue reading →

Looking for my Chinese cousin Steve in all the wrong places

There were only teddy bears

I’m not against better sex, but I have my own way of figuring that one out.

Nonetheless, every day I get hundreds of offers for live sex, video sex, email sex, sex aids, Viagra etc. Email spam filters catch them.

I was deleting 260 sex offers from my Gmail account today. Noticed most of the emails were Chinese. Continue reading →

My cousin Jim Pate leaves meeting due to conflict of interest

Canon de Chelly, near Holbrook Arizona

With story from Arizona Journal.com

Just a short note here about my cousin Jim Pate from Holbrook Arizona where he sits as county commissioner.

The paper said Jim left the meeting to avoid a conflict of interest and possible breach of fiduciary trust.

Elected officials, senior bureaucrats and directors hold the public trust and should always avoid situations where their own personal interests conflict with their public trust.

See Conflict of Interest, Brooke MacMillan

Holbrook is part of the Navajo Reservation and a great scenic place to visit east of Flagstaff, Arizona and near the Petrified Forest National Park.

Nice to see our family is part of the corruption in politics.
