The Sax Was Great!

I was impressed with last night’s attendance for V for Vendetta. Entertaining. I believe the release date was early March? So, it has been some two months after its release and obviously still strikes a cord with many folks. George has few friends nowadays but I wonder if history will be kind to him. I’m not soo sure.

Short hair or not, Natalie Portman is hot. She gets me right in my Lois Lanes.

I'm not sure what's worse, the person (usually short) who reclines his/her chair all the way back (without looking) or the woman who drapes her two feet of hair over the back of the chair. In all likelihood, these folks fly maybe one time a year, if at all, and usually wear their beach attire to/from their destination. In either case, they get a pair of knees in the back for the entire flight. I don’t miss being in a plane twice a week.

1999 Honig Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley. My last bottle which I picked up for $20 at Gomers in KC four years ago. The wine is finally all together with a lovely garnet hue, mild tannins, and long finish. The beak picked up dried berries, cedar, and soil. This Honig went perfect with my chicken and tater (new potatoes, avocados, clover sprouts, olive oil, sea salt from Jamie Oliver) combo I wiped together. This is a reason to cellar as I tasted the wine a week after I bought it and was not impressed (I managed to drink it, begrudgingly (sigh)) but was told it needed time. "They" were right.

I must be getting old because I look forward to my Sunday mornings with my NYT and coffee. During the same time, I've also enjoyed CBS Sunday Mornings with Charles Osgood. For me, that show makes me want to go out and buy a TV...tonight. They often do a sketch of something in the Heartland. God bless'em.

I can safely say I've recovered from last Sunday's Bay to Breakers. I was part of the Plinko crowd. Good times, good times. I saw too much in the way of naked dudes. I realize I'm living in SF but please. My Scottish friend, Stevie said it best, "For f!#K sakes, what are you walking around proud for man, give it a rub".

I’ve read a number of reviews regarding the new Studs Terkel CD with all his past interviews with musicians is fantastic. I guess I also need to get a stereo.

During the unpack, I recently went thru boxes of old clothes and found all my fraternity tees. Damn, it was a trip down memory lane. I could use a summer of jacking around, drinking canned beer, 5 movies for $5, hanging out on the porch, borrowing Gene’s (and everybody’s for that matter) car, eating Ben & Willa’s food, and wearing nothing but shorts, tees, and flips.
