First Thing in the Mornin’ Tweet Yes, you herpetologists, I know this isn’t possible. But then, turtles almost never talk to basset hounds, either, but no one ever complains about that.
Yule Dance. I Just Know it Tweet The thing is, the tune “Yule Dance” makes me feel like dancing … and I’m no kind of a dancer, having all the rhythm of your average squash
I Remember Her! Tweet I’m kindof surprised I didn’t get an email from someone complaining about me using the word “booboisie” in a family newspaper.
Win-Loss Tweet When you look at playing a 162 game season, among professional players (really good players), it’s almost surprising to me that we don’t have more ties.
Novelizations Tweet There are people who think this way. Who didn’t realize “The Hobbit” (and LOTR) were loosely based on existing books. But now, I’m surprised they didn’t come out with watered-down, simplified novels for the movies. Publishing thinks less and less of it’s readers and is mandating that authors not use compound sentences, keep the paragraphs short, and write everything at an 8th grade level. Are they correct in thinking so low of their audience, or are they trying to make their readers dim?
New Pillow Tweet I have a coworker who really likes her bamboo pillow. I have not tried one, yet, because the mental picture I have of one does not seem comfortable. I am, therefore, the definition of ignorance on the matter, except in that pandas really do eat bamboo.
Are We healed, Yet Tweet Of course, psychiatry and mental therapy and like disciplines are not there to heal, but to bring healing. What’s the difference? One involves success and the other involves pay.
Winners and Loeser and Tie-ers Tweet I am impressed by all the stats that sports mark these days, but kind of feel sorry for the guys who have to notice them. “Another slider. And another slider.” “No, that was a curve!” “Wait, what did he throw while we were arguing about the slider?” “Maybe a fastball?”
Scrabblarski Tweet By the end of “War and Peace”, I had pretty much given up on keeping the names straight. Enjoyed the book, though. Will I ever read it again? I doubt it.
As a Last Resort Tweet I felt like some newspapers might want a brief break from the baseball story line, but I couldn’t get away from sports entirely.
