I love how the morally outraged on Facebook have all gotten up in arms about big game hunters.  Guess what, outraged people, where was your outrage before this?  If it's not on Facebook, I guess it's not worth being outraged about.  Big game hunting has been going on forever - so the sudden moral outrage is strictly a product of Facebook - in fact, it's what Facebook is all about.

I think Facebook only made it easier to be vocal about this.  I doubt being morally outraged was anything new.

I think you're very wrong on this one.

So, no one can guess what the first song I wrote for the LA show is - what place it's about?

My guess is the pier/park across the boardwalk from bk's grandparents' place.

Well, I'm leaving work.  My friend Margo called me when I was at lunch, asking if I wanted to go to dinner with her...but I needed to drive.  Her daughter has her car.  I said yes, but tonight, however, is my one night to do laundry, so it can't take too long.  I don't know where we're going, but it'll be good, I'm sure. :) 

Be back later.

I can only speak for those I know, and they were always outraged.

Bruce, I thought you said you wrote a song about CC Brown's.

CC Brown's has the best sundaes,
CC Brown's...

(I guess this is why I'm not a songwriter.)

The amusement park was Pacific Ocean Park and it was indeed fascinating to this teen.

I began a new form of back and neck therapy yesterday. I found a massage therapist who is a Kung Fu master and he does what's known as Blind Thai Massage. (No, he's not blind, but his teacher was.) This is deep, deep, DEEP tissue work and it hurts like the dickens. But people rave about how he got rid of pain that no one else could get rid of. You endure an hour of pain in order to be free of pain later. I had my first treatment yesterday and expected to feel sore today. I was sore, but so far it was no worse than what I often experience. If tomorrow is no worse than today I'll book another session with him.

He's practically next door to the Pico Playhouse, which was once the Century City Playhouse, where BK performed in his teens.

Sorry to hear your credit card number was stolen, John G. Even when you're not held responsible it's still a pain in the tush.

Did a jog, and had a very quick one-hour work session for the Kritzerland show.  For anyone but John Boswell, we would have spent an hour alone on The Advantages to Floating in the Middle of the Sea.

So, while putting the finishing touches on our meat loaf dinner I looked in the freezer for green beans and found 2 pints of Graeter's ice cream!  I found the green beans, too, which we had for dinner, but I also just had some yummy mint chocolate chip...

Rob and Mary Linda contributed the ice cream, but it won't last until she gets back from England  8)

I forget which kind of pizza Margo had, but we shared the HERSHEYS® Chocolate Dunkers® for dessert.  Delish!

Started watching Top Five with Chris Rock. I like him, but I wish the movie were just that much better than it is.

Well, the washing machine is actually "doing" the laundry.  I just stuffed the washing machine with my dirty clothes and started it up.

Drove home in a rain storm tonight. That's not supposed to happen in San Antonio at this time of year, but the lightning show was wonderful.
