Resolutions
I don’t make ‘em—at least not at the end or beginning of the year. If I want to change something, I just do it when it occurs to me.
It’s a nice crisp day here in southeast Texas. We’ve had enough rain recently that if our neighbors decide to shoot off fireworks, as they do occasionally, [...]
Smothered
One of my Christmas gifts this year was a DVD set of the best of season three of the Smothers Comedy Brothers Hour (that’s how the announcer says it at station breaks). I remember watching the Smothers Brothers when I was a kid and remember the “Mom always liked you best” banter but not so [...]
Movies, movies, movies, movies
The cold is more or less gone. At least the worst of it has passed. A little bit of sinus involvement, but I can no longer claim basso profundo. Shucks.
I didn’t know much about A Christmas Story until introduced to it last year by my daughter. It was filmed partly in Canada and stars Melinda [...]
The geese are getting fat
Still cold outside today and I still have a cold. Hopefully both will be gone by tomorrow. I’m keeping Kleenex, Halls and the makers of Thera-Flu in business.
I showed the outline I’ve been working on to my agent yesterday and he thought it was quite good and had a couple of suggestions for improvements and [...]
Leatherheads
I’m in the throes of a full-fledged head cold. I’ve been emptying the tissue box, drinking TheraFlu and partaking of more than my fair share of Halls throat lozenges. Yesterday morning I sounded like the bass singer from the Statler Brothers. Today, more like Kermit the Frog.
We’re back down in the low 30s again, though [...]
Rolling Stones
I hope they get to resolve some of the major plots on Eli Stone before it goes off the episode 13, which is supposed to be its swan song. Things keep getting complicated, with Jordan’s estrangement from her father, and Eli’s new revelation last night. Plus he and Maggie have to get together.

We missed out on the freezing rain (I’m not complaining), but it did get back down to the upper 30s this morning. By Thursday it will be 75° again. Keeping track of the temperature is like trying to predict which way the stock market is going to go on any given day.

Has anyone seen my shoes?
It was 68° this morning when I came to work. The whole weekend was mild and tropical. By noon today, the temperature had dropped to 44° and we are at risk of freezing rain tonight. By mid-day Wednesday it will be back on its way toward the 70s.
We watched a British movie called In a [...]
