AN OVERDOSE OF STUPID

We were watching a bunch of "Elsbeth" shows on Paramount. Of the newer shows we watch, Elsbeth is my favorite with Matlock running a solid second. This particular show was a ripoff of "Dog Day Afternoon," so serious and humor were delightfully and liberally mixed. Suddenly, the show went stupid. It had been witty, now … Continue reading AN OVERDOSE OF STUPID

THE LOST STERLING BRONSON EPISODE – TOM CURLEY

Many of my blogs have been about Star Trek and all of its various iterations. It’s apparently sparked a bit of a trip down memory lane because Marilyn recently posted a funny (and true) blog about Star Trek called Ten, Nine, Eight… (Shut Up Spock). It seems we have inadvertently (or advertently?) begun to write new mini-episodes … Continue reading THE LOST STERLING BRONSON EPISODE – TOM CURLEY

TELL ME WHY!

JYProvocative Question #44 – Reason Does everything happen for a reason? What leads you to believe this? Is having or not having a reason to explain why things happen a good thing or a bad thing? If you believe there's a reason for everything, this is closer to superstition than faith. I don't believe our … Continue reading TELL ME WHY!

WHERE AM I? WHERE ARE YOU?

There is a line we should have never crossed, but we crossed it. We feel endangered because we are in danger. There is a very strong likelihood our grandchildren will not have the freedom or the right to vote.

THE RIGHT FOOD AT THE RIGHT PRICE – Rich Paschall

Worth It, a review, by Rich Paschall We all enjoy good food. We also enjoy good restaurants. At times we may want to try something different, or just something that is familiar. Friends may give us recommendations for a new place, or their favorite spot. They may tell us a cetain dish is "to die … Continue reading THE RIGHT FOOD AT THE RIGHT PRICE – Rich Paschall

KNOWING NOTHING IS THE WAY TO GO!

I’m always glad to have a reason to pull this oldest of my philosophical rants out of archives, dust it off, and publish it. It represents years of thought, night-long discussions in college, several obscure philosophy courses I took as an undergrad -- and at least one 40-page research paper. How bizarre that now, at … Continue reading KNOWING NOTHING IS THE WAY TO GO!

NO SAFE PLACE?

It was an ordinary day in the suburb of Jerusalem where I managed a weekly English-language newspaper. I had fallen into the job when the previous editor quit -- after his paycheck bounced. Twice. Me too, but I wanted the paper to succeed, and was willing to work for free if we might save it. Most of us kept … Continue reading NO SAFE PLACE?

LIVING IN CIVILITY – Marilyn Armstrong

Civility, manners, and communications has become a hot topic. We have a racist, narcissistic president who insults people in front of the entire world and a lot of people apparently believe it's okay. Of course, some of these people also believe the same idiot blowhard is the next messiah, so maybe I can discount their … Continue reading LIVING IN CIVILITY – Marilyn Armstrong

BETWEEN GENERATIONS – Marilyn Armstrong

Civility, manners, and communications has, for obvious reasons, become a hot topic. We have a president who insults people in front of the entire world and a lot of people apparently believe it's okay. Of course, some of these people also believe the same idiot blowhard is the next messiah, so I figure I can … Continue reading BETWEEN GENERATIONS – Marilyn Armstrong
