BLOGGERS IN THE TOP TEN: HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES

It is almost a week now since I fell out of the top ten. It was a weird experience. For one thing having a game show in the top ten isn't the same as having a blog there. In a blog you can cultivate other bloggers' ideas. Comments fly frequent and fast, sometimes accumulating to the dozens and... Sign in to see full entry.

Life of a Blogger: Every Day is a Gift....................................

I've decided that if I'm going to do something extraordinary with my life, I'm going to have to do it now. And with that, a decision is made. I've had this feeling since my brother passed a few months ago that my mortality is tenuous, even though I'm in perfect health, and he was a chainsmoker.... Sign in to see full entry.

BLOGGER SUBJECTED TO PUBLIC SCRUTINY ALL ABOUT THE COFFEE......

The thing about the Letters from Iwo Jima was that it was such a common story of war, during our national crisis. I expected the stories to be either anti-war and tragic, anti-war and heroic, or I don't know what. What we learned about was individual responses to bureacracy. We kind of already know...

This Blogger Goes to the Movies and it's All About Japanese Blogging!

Yesterday was a snowy winter day in the Midwest, blowing whiteout conditions off and on. I took my daughter to work, got the car washed and vacuumed out, shopped for the octogenarians, watched a Disney movie with my mother on STARZ, then went to pick my daughter up from work. We had it all planned... Sign in to see full entry.

BLOGGERS WHO ARE, SIMPlLY PUT, BETTER THAN THE REST.........

Terrific shot of Bobby Knight shouting at the waterboy. At three minutes to go Texas Tech was up by three. I went in to finish the dishes and returned at thirty seconds to go in the game. Texas A&M was behind by three. Bobby Knight was on the verge of raising his merely above average team to another... Sign in to see full entry.

ONE BLOGGER WHO CANNOT TOLERATE BEING TOUCHED...

I'm sitting in GREAT CLIPS waiting to have my hair cut and beard trimmed, thinned and hacked at. I got up early, took a shower and headed out to the bank to deposit my paycheck. Went to Quick Trip to fill the tank, as gas is down to $1.89 a gallon. While there my bilingual interpreter drove up to... Sign in to see full entry.

BLOGGERS WHO SMOKE TO EXCESS...........

I'm at the mall after yet another 12-hour day. Chammps is a sports bar. It is as big as a medium sized warehouse, and wall-to-wall GOB's (good ol' boys). I'm sitting here, blogging of course, but wondering whether the women in here will all go home and have sex, and if any of the men will? The gals... Sign in to see full entry.

SPENDING A WEEK IN THE TOP TEN - HOW LIKE ACAPULCO IT IS!

We had a family joke, when my older sister, one of the big kids, was sitting with us kids watching Saturday morning TV. It was, no doubt, either a Gene Autry or Stony Brook Western movie. The saloon scene showed an older cowhand using problem solving on a disorderly young cowboy -- avoidance to be.... Sign in to see full entry.

READING BETWEENTHE LINES WHEN BLOGGERS COMMENT

Listening again to "Sexy Sadie", by the Beatles, it is difficult to imagine that meaning is focused in any one vein or thread. Whysper's report that John Lennon was addressing himself to the Maharishi, or whomever, was the closest. In fact I remember reading something like that in one of the... Sign in to see full entry.

BLOGGERS HELPING ONE ANOTHER OUT...

Well, my youngest daughter's friend,Veronica, called last night to say that her car was stuck and could she ride to school with us in the morning, should we have school. Veronica, you will remember, was the bestfriend with whom my sheltered, cloistered is more the word, daughter got a job at... Sign in to see full entry.
