Harold frowned at Jedith. "What do you mean, I should be grateful? You infected me with a disease there was no cure for, forcing me to enter into a pact with a demon who takes every opportunity to belittle me. Why would I have reason to be grateful?" "You have your health." "At the cost of my soul." "You've got a lovely house." "Which I inherited when my...

Guess what came in the mail? This is my invitation to join the American Association of Retired People. Tuesday is my birthday and I'm turning 49, so, Lord willing, I have a few more years to work before I can think about retiring! I found a neat site; the dMarie Time Capsule , which lets you put in a date and it will tell you about what was happening then. Here are a few statistics for November 24,...

As I was about to get Lucy out of the car today... Lucy (rubbing her nose): "My nose!" Me (not sure what was wrong but handing her a tissue): "Here you are sweetheart". Lucy (having rubbed vigorously around her nostrils): "I did it Daddy!". Me: "Yes darling, well done." Lucy "I did it Daddy. I got my nogey!" Me (a bit puzzled): "Did you darling?...

California is short $21 billion. All that haggling, and even the Great California Garage Sale, and go figure. You'll also find it no surprise that Republicans are saying, "this time, no new taxes", and Democrats are saying "this time, no cuts". Kind of like an I Love Lucy rerun. Same plot. Same outcome. The University of California can't wait for the next steps. The Board of Regents...

I rarely comment on such things as mundane as a television miniseries. Let me make the exception to offer my two sense worth on the the "updated" version of "The Prisoner".... IT SUCKS! Despite top notch casting and a premise with tons of potential it fell flatter than a 2000 lb. pancake dropped from the Sears Tower. It was nothing more than a cross between a soap opera made on...

When stuck for content for a slow blogging week, cultural conservatives are apt to bemoan the loss of common culture. While it wasn’t much, there did seem to be something comforting about all of America huddled about a bleary black-and-white looking at I Love Lucy. Lucy stuffing chocolate in her mouth and clothes to survive [...]

Sounds like an I Love Lucy plot line: Wedding ring found in dump amid 10 tons of trash . Sanitation workers sorted through 10 tons of trash to recover a wedding ring accidentally thrown away by a New Jersey couple. Bridget Pericolo of Parsippany had placed the ring in a cup that her husband, Angelo, threw out with the garbage before leaving for work Monday morning. When he realized the mistake, he...

This is an interesting read. Author Haywood Smith smiled Tuesday when her attorney said parts of her book read like scenes from the 50’s-era television series “I Love Lucy.” In his opening statements to a Hall County jury Tuesday, Attorney Tom Clyde described “The Red Hat Club” as a humorous, “light-hearted novel” with an “utterly implausible plot”...
