I’ve been reading Laurie Kilmartin’s tweets about her father’s death. (If you’re interested, here’s the link. You have to go back to about February 20th.) As a cave-dweller, I don’t follow anyone on Twitter. But my comic friend…
The Mechanic
Yesterday morning I got a call from my mechanic. As he didn’t have my car, I was curious. It turned out one of his guys had inadvertently left an air compressor in the trunk of my old Volvo…
Troubled Waters
I don’t usually write about politics, as I just don’t want to. It isn’t that I don’t have thoughts or feelings; I most certainly do. But I try to keep that out of this forum, as I…
Boots and Pants and Boots and Pants and Boots and Pants…

Hummingbird Lost

Until We Meet Again
Another Olympics Games, closed. I relished these winter sports, as I do every 4 years. Not only do I admire watching the athletes display their skills (skills they’ve honed for-practically-ever), I also love-love-love the sportsmanship. For though examples…
Harold Ramis – Rest In Peace
I had a crush on him. I did. It started with “Stripes.” He was cute, sure. But what I liked about him was the brain. No matter how dorky his character may have been, that brain was…
Rock Camp Dates Announced!
I realize not all of you are in the L.A. area. Heck, some of you aren’t even in America. And some of you aren’t of the lady variety either. So this post may not be at all relevant…
