Hey, where are our late-night denizens.  And LauraII comes, looks around, and doesn't make a single post since yesterday (I don't even know if she made one yesterday) - much too unseemly if you ask me.  Perhaps hornball Jed knows something about all of this.

As it is only 6.18pm I can not be regarded as a late night denizen.  My chef will be calling me soon. (or something less savoury than soon) so I shall bid you all a good evening/night. I shall be back in an hour or so to say good morning.
It is a long weekend in OZ. Australia Day is January 26. - The day the English invaded this land.

I can take no blame for Laura II's E&T-ness yesterday, or the day or two before that, either.  I suspect a new canoodler, oh yes, that's what I suspect!

Hello everybody! I'm baaaaack! I didn't get online yesterday. I don't really remember why. Today I was out of the house for the majority of the day with the March for Life in DC and then work. I'm catching up on yesterday's posts at the moment.

BK, I really don't think you need to worry about Jed and me. Apparently he and Tiff were talking last night. ;) heeheehee

I was watching "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central and now am watching the Oxygen Channel rebroadcast of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" with (appropriately) Ellen Degeneres.  The guests are (were) Debra Messing and (Canadian) Sue Johanson.  Debra is very pregnant and Sue is a hoot!

Thanks, George!  Sue Johanson is hilarious on talk shows!!!  Must change the channel!

Dang it, I'd trusted George's spelling! :)

After Sue Johanson (I corrected the spelling in my last post) will be Burt Bacharach!

I remember back a few years ago when I was writing CD reviews for another site.  I made no claim to be an "expert," and tried to make sure it was understood that I was just another listener, putting forward my opinion.  I always thought of writing a review as a learning experience, a chance to explore why I felt as I did about certain things, sometimes discovering reasons to change from my original reaction.

I was amazed by the vehemence that some readers would attack my opinions, demanding why I thought myself "an expert" and that therefor my opinions were flawed.  (Fortunately, there were others who enjoyed my writing.)

The current crop of reviewers would probably be among those demanding my credentials.  I don't find their writing much fun to read.  There's a pleasing equilibrium in those two statements.

Ah, well, then der Brucer and your father couldn't have known each other, as der B was in the class of '62.  Or was it '61?  He'll be correcting me the moment he reads this.

Sometime, we'll have to get him to tell the story about Pat Boone and the Golf Balls.  (Randy Vicar, move over, you've got competition and it's G-rated!   ;D)

It's time for me to gather up Buster and Bonnie and get to bed.  Who needs electric blankets when I've got Puppy Power!

S. Woody: But these "reviewers" do make claims, or at least act like they know whereof they speak, which they do not.  I'm sure yours were much more fun to read.
