  • Who… Doctor Who….. (with apologies to 007) DRAFT - This week we picked a new Doctor. Not a new physician.  This was important!  A new ‘DOCTOR WHO!’ Well, let’s be frank.  “We” didn’t pick him.  Steven Moffat, head honcho in charge of the franchise (and savior or devil depending on your point of view), and his crew in merry ole England did.  We had …
  • Lady, your 7 year old ain’t on Facebook! - First off, the following rant could apply just as easily to a dad as it does a mom.  It just happened that a mom inspired it. Ever get tired of the messages that appear on your computer screen aimed at someone who will never friggin SEE it? Say WHAT, you ask?  What is ELO rambling …
  • I’m not like that, I’m ANDROID… - From 2015. OK, so yesterday I sort of “went off” on Facebook & Twitter because of a lady on a cell phone.  Even worse, HOLDING a cell phone.  I realize that sometimes its the ‘little things’ that get you going, and I also realize I’m in danger of becoming the Andy Rooney of my generation. …
  • It’s that time again…. - Is it wrong to derive great pleasure from videos like these?  
  • My night with David Brenner, Sly Stallone, Hagler-Hearns, and Sue… - Note:  This post was written in 2014. I just received word that David Brenner passed away.  We could list accolades for hours, but one thing stands out.  Brenner appeared on the ‘Tonight Show With Johnny Carson’ more than 150 times, starting in 1971, and he guest hosted it as well.  He’s a comedy legend. Those appearances …
  • It’s e-d-w-A-R-D dammit…. (and Stubhub) - If you’re gonna use my stuff, get my name right.  I was asked to comment, good or bad, about Stubhub, the ticket brokerage service for some blog.  I did.  However, they bumped my comments for some clown named Edwin.  
  • John Lennon and The Polynesian Papers, 39 years ago today! (You’re Welcome Disney Fans) - This post was written in 2013. Suddenly the information is out.  It’s everywhere!  Details about John Lennon officially dissolving the Beatles at the Polynesian Resort at Walt Disney World, 39 years ago today! After years of only finding tidbits here and there, suddenly you can find all the information you want.  You care if you …
  • What do I want for Christmas? - A few things I can’t talk about… and this…
  • On birthdays… short and sweet…. - Yesterday was my birthday. I don’t consider it a big deal.  I don’t promote it, but I do appreciate all the people on social media who wished me a Happy birthday. Two things about birthdays and social media that are incredibly annoying. People who announce their upcoming birthday (attention mining for more people to wish …
  • Operation ‘brown out’… update… - From 2013. Back in the summer, my hairdresser, ‘The Lovely Carly’ (we’re close so I can just call her ‘The Lovely’) held a hair intervention with me at her shop.  She and an assortment of other ladies working there said I needed to “go natural” (hair color, you pervs) and change the style.  So, considering …
