But why stop at one embarrassing picture? If I am looking at this Christmas picture correctly, I seem to have a toy gun in my hand. Can you even BUY a silver-plated toy cap gun anymore? I think I am wearing cowboy Jammies. I’m guessing this was about 1969 or 1970.
Here is the deal. The Indians are having a throwback weekend and making it 1977. I kind of wish I was going on Sunday to have my son get a crooked C batting helmet. Just like the one my brother Drew got for me when I was a tyke back in the day. I don’t have a picture of me wearing it. Somewhere I have a picture of me in the red jersey. I’ll rummage through my hard drive and post it someday. For now you will have to settle for the Easter threads, 1977. At least my sister looked presentable.
We sadly received the news that Tom Poston has passed away. He was a member of the Greatest Generation and was an integral part of some of television’s funniest moments.
He was also a Buckeye by birth. I can’t think of anyone on the current comedy scene that compares to him. can you?
How else could this exist?
Hat tip to Jonah Golberg at The Corner.
The local and national television and radio news media has accomplished what I thought was nearly impossible. They have caused me to regard them with even lower esteem. The tragedy at Virginia Tech is being exploited beyond belief. Please tell me, WKYC, why you send an anchor to Virginia to cover the story? What can you possibly add that better informs your Cleveland audience that you could not accomplish from the studio and wire reports? It is sensationalism, even if your motto is “Respect. Report”. To be fair, I do not even watch the other local stations, they might be even worse.
I just want to tip you off to www.lifehacker.com. It sounds a bit scary, but it is shares all sorts of interesting software as well as nifty tips that are not software related. I have found several Mozilla Firefox plug-ins through their reviews. Check it out!
That is a good song by The Sprites. It describes the vast majority of blogs that exist, I am convinced. Not that this is really a problem, exactly. Perhaps all the folks pouring hearts out in the ether is a safety valve of some sort. I am not one to share my deepest hopes, dreams and fears. This is particularly true in a medium that is as private as a post card. A post card that is reproduced on the gigantic screens in Times Square.
I have heard how WordPress it the way to go in blogging. I want to try it for myself. I DO have that group blog over at Stop Me When I Am Lying.
So far, so good. Now for the fun stuff!
