Why Weathermen Are Wrong All The Time

The forecast calls for rain all day and yet it's bright and sunny.
Are the weathermen really wrong all the time
Or are they just trying to be funny?

Treasures In The Attic

Just some thoughts for a new column. Our senior citizens, or our elderly relatives are the best resource we have to connect to the past. Listen to their stories, better than any reality show on television. A connection to another era. Archaeologists of time, living through the ages and having seen things that some of us luckily never will. Faded as an old photograph, but with more information. The lines in their faces each tell a story, and a good one. Hold onto these links with the past, ever tenuous. I'm going to hold onto my parents tightly for as long as I can. Hugging them tight until I almost crush their brittle bones. They were the portals that brought me into this world, created in their likeness, and filling me with love that I can pour out to my own family.

I always thought it would be the ex-hippies of the sixties that straightened out society as they all approached old age. But now I know that isn't true. And my generation is not aging at all much to the chagrin of the youngsters. My generation, approaching fifty is still rocking and rolling (Prince, Madonna) with no let up in sight

New Superhero for today's world?

Vaster, Vaster

The vast wasteland of TV gets vaster tonight as American Idol is no more. NOw all I have is that wacky lie-detector show that relishes in tearing families apart, for money of course. What is wrong with these people? I'm not really watching it, I'm filling out financial aid forms for my son's college even though we don't qualilfy for any. The school makes every student fill them out just in case. We don't qualify for aid and we can't afford the tuition. So load up on the loans. Buy now pay later (and pay and pay and pay). It's the American Dream (in Bizarro World).

Poor Me

Well, well, well. David Cooks wins American Idol and Mrs. Skippy drops to 23rd place in the pool. Is there no American Justice? Congratulations David Cook. You owe me $250.

The Idle Rich

My wife is about to win the American Idol pool thanks to David Cook going home in second place (that is if America picks David Archuleta as their American Idol. How could they not?) You never know how America will vote (even if the whole thing is fixed).

Harbinger of Doom

Why do I always end up going to a funeral every time I dream of my cousin Diane? She is the harbinger of death in my symbolic subconcious. And this time in the dream, she hugged me (bad sign). I hope I am wrong this time but my dreams never lie. You just have to know how to interpret them.
