Now You See It.

Is March performing its Lion to Lamb function?

On March 1st, the wake-up temperature (Between 5 and 6 o'clock in the morning.) was 43 degrees.
On March 31st, it is 35 degrees and snowing.
Enough said.

Question of the week.
Please accept Will Smith's apology for being a dick and move on?

Second Question
Now, do you understand why I dislike the Award shows so much?
I think we can all agree there thing true about award shows. No matter who wins an award, not everyone will be happy.
Think about the individual awards. There is no such thing as the Best actor or best film or best ________? 
The perception of the Best is like the cliche definition of pornography. I'll know it when I see it. 
It's like calling something a classic when it's just been created. It can't be done.
Ticket sales are no indication of the quality of the films. Pundits and film critics pick out their top ten productions yearly after year. These lists will have various independent or art house films on them that don't have large audiences.
Ratings from IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes don't affect me. I'm more likely to see the film just to judge for myself. I'm often gratified that I can disagree vigorously with the ratings they have saddled the film.
Unless you're buying something that expresses a product that fills your specific needs, there is no best. Award shows are only slightly above World Wrestling in entertainment value. Even then, it's a wonder that Smith didn't throw Rock out of the ring.

Question: Do birds not know how to read, or are they poachers?

Ring The Bell

 It appears there is a tradition in the radiology department at Ascension Hospital that patients, upon completing their course of treatment, ring a bell. ( We know not for whom this bell tolls.) Ring the Bell with My Sweetheart Jeanne. Jeanne drove me to all but two of the appointments. Pam Frautchi took me to the other two. Today, after being zapped thirty-two times, I rang the bell. This begins a roughly one-month recovery period where the effects of the radiation abate and, I'm assured, a return to normalcy occurs. In my case, I anticipate more energy and greater awareness. Books, Books, & More Books I am simultaneously celebrating the end of the third year of volunteering for the All Saints Hunger Book Sale. Next week, we will wrap up the preparation for the sale and open our doors on August 3 for the public. I ran into this humourous but quite accurate cartoon on a T-Shirt that shows most of the volunteer's sentiments at this point. If you think the printed and bound p...

One of my latest efforts. Sketch: The Lady Is Blue Gouache 9 X 12 Reporting: I enjoyed a pleasant evening with my friend Michelle Mooney. I took her out for dinner to celebrate her birthday and to thank her for the many first-rate haircuts she's given me. We were surprised at the number of people who dined alfresco in the balmy night air. Whatever we've done to please Mother Nature, she had deemed acceptable by giving us a shot of summer just when late fall weather was wrapping her fingers around our throat. If I have one complaint about the friendly confines of The County Claire, it's the noise level that makes it difficult to converse. The rumble is an acoustical problem with the customers speaking in normal conversational tones. This is without audible TV showing some game or background music selected by a dance DJ.  I know! We should have eaten outside, where the only noise is the occasional 14 bus snorting by.   Maybe It's Me Since my two soccer teams are not doing...

It's time again.

It started in 2004 when we moved to our condo off Downer in Milwaukee. Then we mover to the Westside of Milwaukee when we rented from Ken Karr, the former landlord, now a current friend on Highland and 29th St. Then we moved to Mandeville Louisiana for a little less than a year. Returning to The Fox River Valley, we rented a home in Fox Crossing, formerly The Town of Menasha. When the tree fell on the roof, and the landlord felt no urgency to fix it, we moved to W. Commercial in Appleton. Here is a shocker. Are you sitting down? We are moving. No, I don't mean off the couch and out to the patio. There are too many damn mosquitoes for that to happen. No, we are packing our stuff, or at least the stuff we unpacked from the last move and moving to a home Maria purchased on Mason and Glendale in Appleton. Let me unpack that last sentence (pun planned for). We are moving at approximately the end of September to a house. The house has been in t...
