long days: School starts tomorrow
http://long-days.blogspot.com/2008/01/school-starts-tomorrow.html
Since then it's been a book you read in reverse So you understand less as the pages turn Or a movie so crass And awkardly cast That even I could be the star. Which means we shouldn't be up after 11:00 taking turns playing Guitar Hero, but here we are. Spent the day cleaning out the garage. How did four people accumulate so much crap? Should be interesting trying to get everyone out of the house before 9 AM tomorrow. Sunday, January 06, 2008. The adventures of the overtired and fussy. My kids are cute.

long days: Move. Over.
http://long-days.blogspot.com/2007/09/move-over.html
Since then it's been a book you read in reverse So you understand less as the pages turn Or a movie so crass And awkardly cast That even I could be the star. As previously mentioned, I've been driving a lot the past few months. A lot. And here's what I have to say about that experience:. PRIUS OWNERS: THAT STUPID HYBRID DECAL IS NOT A LICENSE TO PARK YOUR ASS IN THE CARPOOL LANE AND GO 65 MPH DURING COMMUTE HOURS. IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE LIKE YOU'RE BACK IN BOCA, MOVE TO THE SLOW LANE. NOW. Fuckers, Part 2.

More Sinner Than Saint: February 2013
http://moresinnerthansaint.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
More Sinner Than Saint. Thursday, February 21, 2013. Toward the end of 2011 I wrote this. The second half of which (beginning with "This has been a strange year") is required reading for the rest of this post. I never heard from her mother and didn't hear from her uncle for a long time. He was career Army and at about the time that the granddaughter and I connected he was getting ready for deployment to Iraq. I have not heard from him since. I have not heard from her since. Links to this post. OK, my las...

More Sinner Than Saint: Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans
http://moresinnerthansaint.blogspot.com/2008/07/welcome-home-vietnam-veterans.html
More Sinner Than Saint. Friday, July 4, 2008. Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans. Dear readers, ye precious few, the very end of this post is vulgar indeed, possibly - almost certainly - offensive to some. I make no apology for it. All I can do is offer you this chance to pass it up. Forty-one years is a long time to tolerate the false pretenses of people striking at the heart of who you are, and I do not have the stamina of Sisyphus. My attempt to watch the program didn't last long. I had a 50 inch Mitsu...

More Sinner Than Saint: November 2012
http://moresinnerthansaint.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
More Sinner Than Saint. Friday, November 2, 2012. Thinking about the names of people I have known, four curious cases have popped into my mind:. Deosa Choles and Courtney Eversole, who have names I consider delightful. Justin Case, whom I met while working at IBM. On our introduction I thought *immediately* "There is nothing I can say that he hasn't heard already," and I simply expressed my pleasure at meeting him. Six of us trapped but it was only happening to him! The Y1K problem caused the Dark Ages.

More Sinner Than Saint. Thursday, July 18, 2013. Some songs that trigger a memory trigger *exactly* the same memory every time I hear them, although my mind might wander anywhere after the initial thought. Artist with the most songs on the jukebox:. Song with the most radical difference in presentations:. With a Little Help from My Friends,. By The Beatles and by Joe Cocker. Note: this excludes a number of possiblities created by white artists covering releases of songs by black artists, a common practic...

More Sinner Than Saint. Friday, September 5, 2014. One Memory Triggers Another. My gambling brought us free tickets to the Joan Rivers show mentioned in the last post. Also mentioned was my relative ignorance regarding Las Vegas and money. Howevah . . . my ignorance was not total, if only because some things are universal. Yes, you can, but not by whining.). Links to this post. Thursday, September 4, 2014. JOAN RIVERS, R.I.P. Perhaps 20 years ago Mandy and I saw Joan Rivers in Las Vegas, and she was top ...

More Sinner Than Saint: WJMK Memories
http://moresinnerthansaint.blogspot.com/2013/06/wjmk-memories.html
More Sinner Than Saint. Monday, June 3, 2013. For a while, WJMK in Chicago was an oldies station, playing music from the 1950's and 1960's. The following occurred (roughly) between 1979 and 1991. A father called in asking the DJ to play Tony Joe White's Polk Salad Annie. Because his children would not believe that a song included the lines. Polk Salad Annie,. Gators got your granny. Chomp, chomp chomp. And no, it's not Poke Salad Annie. It's Polk Salad Annie. And The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap).
