How to Have a Healthy Holiday Season, Message to Gov. Blagojevich

I just reviewed an article written by an Anglican priest named Charles Moore, about the true meaning of Christmas. Because of the quandary set upon us between SPEND! And pay down your debt, by the economic collapse, the author argues that this Christmas season, our effort should be on regaining... Sign in to see full entry.

A-Rod and Madonna: Here we Go Again!

Mexico City this weekend hosted the pair, separately, and both on business. Madonna was there to perform her second sold-out night of "Sticky and Sweet" (ew). A-Rod had been contracted to christen a new mega-sports plex. Both superstars are single again. The old lyrics keep coming back: "...and... Sign in to see full entry.

Crimes and Misdemeanors

Mademoiselle once told me that I had missed one of the very best Woody Allen films. I held my fire because I have had a busy life since "Take the Money and Run" back in college. I've been living out my own script similar to many of his movies. I thought I had seen them all, until tonight. One... Sign in to see full entry.

SOMETIMES TOO HONEST FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE MY OWN GOOD

I had had the opportunity to meet Dr. Paul, who wrote a chapter for the Big Book, back in the 1980's. It was a thrill to hear him tell his story of prescription narcotic abuse and alcoholism. At one point he described pulling into his garage, injecting himself with just enough sedative to get him... Sign in to see full entry.

CONSPIRACY OF NEGLECT My daughter asked today if I thought perhaps the fact that only one neighborhood in the entire city was destroyed by the flood, might be a conspiracy to jumpstart the housing market. The housing market has been much in the news lately. It is a typical mistake of right-brain... Sign in to see full entry.

The General's Daughter by Nelson DeMille

Tonight John Travolta treated me to a review of one of the most important books I have read. The blog I posted about this, I think, was the lesson of the offspring of famous people. How do they measure up? What careers do they choose so as not eclipse or be eclipsed by the famous parent? Social work... Sign in to see full entry.

Conspiracy Theorists Unleash New Attack Against the CIA -- Indiana

Earlier in the week, you noticed, as I did, the newspaper story about sonic booms over Indiana. Scientists explained that they were caused by astroids. Supposedly, these meteorites created sonic booms while traveling through Earth's atmosphere, and then burned up before hitting the ground. Reports... Sign in to see full entry.

Beowolf, Part 2

Anyways, the monster-giant, amphibias creature, named Grendle, destroys, harrasses and murders members of the local tribe in the Meadhall. It's the noise that attracts him. The king puts out word that a "hero" is needed. From across the sea arrives Beowolf, who regails the king's court with inflated... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Beowolf -- the Word!

I preach endlessly to the abyss, about how ESL isn't really English as a Second Language. It's teaching English as a foregn language, the way we learned latin, Spanish and French in high school. In 1974, the Supreme Court ruled in Lau v. Nichols, that the Civil Rights Law of 1964, applied to... Sign in to see full entry.

I thought I'd Drop In

I was passing on a winter day A holiday with family A pair of diamonds in the rough And a woman I couldn't stand. When across the field of white Exiting the thicket A horse and small rider Striding, cantering toward the road. A red bonnet and shawl was all Atop a handsome gelding; Which bolted at...
