8. It's not the oscars...
Anyway, I wanted to give everyone looking for something to do, umm, something to do.

There is a History Professor running for United States Senate in Pennsylvania. His name is Chuck Pennacchio. He actually has strong political experience as well.

Anyway, we just had a conference call with about 10 Pennsylvania bloggers on Thursday, and I posted the .mp3 files from the exchange on the campaign blog. If you want something to do, start there?

9. Cold Case was really good tonight. That's one of my favorite shows.
Now my son's commandeered the tv for video games.

So, what ignorant and uncivilized embarrassing action do you think the world's going to have to put up with from our turd-in-a-punchbowl pResident this week?

An old hill country Blues man. 86 and just doesn't seem to give a damn. Non-Oscar all the way. Listen to him if you have a chance.

Syphilis. In a document signed by Hitler's doctor Morell he might have had a heart disease due to Syphilis.

Right now! Here in the Lounge!

Here's mine: "Alternative meanings to the name Oscar: Weenies!" Now, it's your turn.

It is almost as bad as Stupid Bowl Sunday. At least Stupid Bowl Sunday starts early and empties your absolute favorite resturant for the best, quietest dining that you and your honey can get .. ever! For us, it is a ritual.

Sirius-ly! He has 5 more weeks, at the most, by their measure. It was 6 weeks last week. But he is in chemo and he is better. He is strong. I sing to him his favorite little diddies. Yaramus-daramus-scaramus-caramus! That's his favorite day-to-day. He loves those non-sensical words. Better than that, but with an implied promise is: Go-for-a-ride-in-the-car (Goforarideinthecar!)! Oooops. more big blinks. I'm disconnecting. Night all!
