I have been having many strange dreams with the severe insomnia and inability to stay asleep once I fall ... this one stood out because it was not realistic, yet scared the hell out of me.

I was out on the street outside of the complex I lived in when it started to snow... but not flakes of snow... it was like someone was overturning various large ( Read more... )

First and foremost... Happy Birthday to Valerie. So very glad to have you in my life.

I loved seeing Michael leave The Bachelorette ! He was such a weasel and snitch. I think that Zak may go next... only because Brooks seems destined for the end and Drew and Chris each seem to have a better chemistry with her (and Zak is strange looking).

Not ( Read more... )

Probably not everyone will get wishing a happy 70th birthday to a deceased friend. But, I am odd that way. My memory is frazzled but certain dates do stand out. I had planned on doing a J & B on the Rocks (his favorite Scotch Whisky to drink and his former Citizen's Band (C.B. radio) handle, but the budget could only afford a cheaper type of J.B ( Read more... )

What, 47 now ? Dang ! Who would have guessed that you and I would still know each other after 31-plus years ? I do hope you do something "felonious" for your birthday... and that you call that old man in Phoenix. In September it will have been 32 years since we saw Van Halen... I still have the ticket stub, but, so many years in my wallet nearly ( Read more... )

I know, we all age, but... Tommy Lee, L' enfant terrible drummer of Mötley Crüe, cannot possibly be 50 years old. Damn, it seems just yesterday that the video for "Too Young to Fall in Love" was released and I saw these over made-up freaks in this strange theatrical video and thought "These guys will be gone in a month !" .  Now, more than 28 years ( Read more... )

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I feel so old
at 52.

Yeah, another one dusts the bite and I have decided to greet the next lap around life's track stewed and  brewed (yet still, strangely, not tattooed... maybe I need to add a touch of body ink to my bucket list). Nothing important planned. Did find little 4 oz mini-pies at Wal-Mart, and I got one of ( Read more... )

With the last week's heat and my watching so much Olympics coverage I have not been posting much, so a couple things I neglected to post about in the last week :

Happy birthday K ! Fifty is coming fast... real fast !

Congratulations to Jeff Gordon on his 86th Sprint Cup win. It seems appropriate that in a season where everything that can go wrong has ( Read more... )

Survivor : One World - Wow. Again... wow. One of the most repulsive things I have seen... elitism, stupidity, arrogance... maybe the most unpalatable and unpleasant and incompetent group of people ever gathered for this game. I would not be surprised if on April 1st Ashton Kutcher appeared in place of Jeff Probst and snarked out "Y'all been Punk'd ( Read more... )

• Celebrity Apprentice : Poor George Takei. Affable and funny, but no way he was going to last long with the sharks he was in with.

• The Amazing Race : Meh. A very challenging leg, but I am still finding it impossible to relate much to any of the teams. I guess Team Kentucky (Bopper & Mark) for now.

Read a book by Peter Abrahams, "Down the Rabbit ( Read more... )

Got the Daytona 500 cranked up pretty loud in the other room so that if it starts up again I can get back to the sofa. Love my NASCAR racin'. Looks like it is going to be a demolition derby.

Celebrity Apprentice could not have gone any better. Gotti got got and got fired. Yay !

The Amazing Race was meh. A team with no clue left. Not enough good ( Read more... )
