Going On The Record

Since I Can't Embed It, I'll Link It!

I was supposed to think up a side dish for dinner and my father interrupted me about finding a website from two years ago about my paternal family line. It took a while to find it, and we took other trips around the web, but after that was all over, I found that I still hadn't come up with a good idea about dinner. Bleh. I'm not sure what I want. And we'll probably eat in less than thirty minutes. I guess I'll dive in the fridge and look for leftovers.

I finally got the DVD of Blue Thunder yesterday and may watch it late tonight. Saw the bonus features last night and saw, to my surprise, that Malcolm McDowell was acrophobic--so flying those stunts in his gunship must have been a complete horror to him. But he did a great acting job.

Found my maternal grandfather's old Morse Code training book and have been approaching it on a musical level. You see, the code can become a cadence, and the makers of the soundtrack for the TV show Inspector Morse used Morse Code as a tool for setting melodic rhythms. In fact, the main theme is built around the name "Morse". I've done it before with characters in my own stories, and I've come up with new stories in the time since I last tried it. And I may write a theme song for myself. More on that later.

PS: I should remind everybody that I have NOT been talked out of voting for Brian Moore for President of the United States of America yet. I invite anybody who may have a good reason to come here and participate. I will repeat this message often until I feel adequately pursuaded or Election Day, which ever comes first.
