RIP
Harry Morgan
Probably best known for "Dragnet" and "M.A.S.H." I found a long obit for him (died today at age 96) but it didn't mention my favorite movie role for him in "What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?"
A great guy.
And off-topic: You heard about the Mythbusters testing a cannon on a military firing range? A ball went over the barriers and through two houses etc. before coming to rest a few miles away. Surprise!

WM Romney
Ever since I found out that Mitt Romney's full name is
Willard Mittens Romney
I can't resist calling him
Rat Cat Romney
Not that I was going to vote for him or anything silly like that.

Tale of Two Kitteh
There's Sprout, tabby, owner of Amy.
There's Yoshi, calico, owner of Nicole.
Amy and Nicole are friends, so Jesse Ray, dog, and Yoshi came to stay with Amy for a while (about six months). Jesse Ray has gone home but Yoshi's still here.
Sprout and Yoshi are frenemies. Often, there's superb ignoring going on. Sometimes, there's hiss hiss snarl snarl.
Right now, Yoshi's inside getting some food and a nap.
Sprout is sitting outside staring at me, wanting to go in.
If I let him in, there'll be hissing and snarling in the house, so he'll have to wait.
Cats. Gotta love 'em.
No dinner out this eve. Mary-Anne's got a sinus infection so Blair and I decided to wait till next week.
Also, there was no CSI last night because of the idiot Grammy awards. Boo.

Winter has arrived (mostly)
It's doing its best to snow -- big fat furry flakes swirling about, but the ground is way too wet for any of it to stick (till it drops low tonight and the roads freeze over). But we'll be back up to the high 50s in a couple of days, so winter hasn't come to stay all together -- yet.
Still no job. Faint,I say faint, possibility of online editing/proofreading work, through friends who are just setting this up. So we'll see.
Having a good time on Bullshido.net. Some of those guys are really funny. I've graduated to Junior Member (from Noob), have acquired a friend, and have gotten two positive feedbacks. So far, so good. Now if I could only get myself in shape. Pretty sure I can't do any martial arts anymore, so my options are walking, dancing, swimming. And, of course, the self-discipline.
Un huh. Right.
