Marshall Rogers, R.I.P.

I am sorry my return to blogging is to share the news of Marshall Roger's passing.

My condolences to his family, friends and fans.

Richard Jeni, R.I.P.

I was truly shocked and saddened to learn that Richard Jeni, apparently, committed suicide on Saturday.

Richard Jeni was a very, very funny guy. If you aren't familiar with his stand-up work, you should find a copy of his HBO special, A Big Steaming Pile Of Me.

Go here to read Elayne Boosler's wonderful remembrance of him.

He will be missed.

Now, while your already depressed, go to The Oral Report to read of the passing of the lead singer of Boston Brad Delp.

Thanx

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Tony Collett for the surprise movie passes for 300 (and the DVD) that he sent us!

I also thought I would post the above pic of my current favorite Clix that Highlander gave me. They are sitting atop the TV in our computer room, so that I might view them while I travel the web.

Thanks to both of you.

KY Fun

Thought that title might get me some great google hits for all the wrong reasons.

Yes, I am still alive after all of the fun, rain, food, more fun, more rain , more food, bad movie I loved and much more food. The trip to River City was another memory to be treasured and the hostess and host were genial and generous beyond compare. The massive amount of fantastic food and a box of little hero statues (that some call Clix) was appreciated greatly, but the company was a far greater gift. Tammy, Highlander, Tony and Kathy are the fantastic four and I thank them for the good times.




This movie note... Ghost Rider contains some of the most awful dialogue and awkward overacting that I have ever witnessed on film. Still, the wonderfully realized special effects and overall look of the film made me overlook the glaring flaws. The people involved obviously loved the comic and that made me love the film.

After returning to the homeland, I immediately succumbed to a lingering, nasty cold. It has left me dragging my sniffling, sneezing, achey ass thru the dismal return to daily life.

That is why all of the other participants of our weekend already conveyed the fun and friendship that we all enjoyed and I have little else to add.... except that it was my darling wife who offered up Flipper as chewy. At least, that is how I recall it.

Spunky!!!
