Maybe it's just me, I find myself mesmerized by the television I watched as a child lately.  I try to watch new shows and most of them leave me cold.  The dramas are so formulaic that I sit and spout the dialogue as they go on.  My wife thinks… Read full post »

It's warm today, a bit more than average but, that isn't uncommon anymore.  An early Spring that ended an almost unnoticible Winter.  Not that mild Winters are in themselves a harbinger of doom.  A sunny day as pleasant as one could wish for, the stiff breeze aside.

This is a decided… Read full post »

Dick got a heart transplant.  At age 71.  Did he shoot the donor himself or did he have someone else do it?  Is he going to use the old one as a doorstop?

When you are twelve years old and pudgy, you know it.  When you are those things and not well off it amplifies the others.  At twelve I was about five feet six inches tall and shall we say, plump?  I was not what you would call popular.  As a matter of… Read full post »
