Nice day today. No wind gusts. No snow. Sun shining. Like a nice March instead of January. There must be One person in the blog universe who cares about this besides me in the Midwest USA. No trouble at work today. Everything went well.
Paul Newman is 81 today.
In my previous blogsite, which I accidently deleted I made a list of famous people I could remember that I had seen in the flesh. So, for anyone interested, here is another listing: Ronald Reagan, Henry Kissinger, Mike Dukakis, Teddy Kennedy, George Strait, Morgana, Nancy Sinatra, Michael Landon, Doc and Festus. At the Des Moines Home Show once I met Dean Johnson and Robin Hartl (everyone wanted to really meet Jo Jo.) When the movie Quiz Show came out a local video store invited Herb Stemple-the guy who blew the whistle on rigged quiz shows; he was a somewhat splotchy-faced guy who did not really say much. Some people I missed seeing when they were in the territory I was near: Harry Truman, Birgit Nilsson, Margaret Thatcher.
I saw Garth Brookes at the Iowa State Fair in 1991, when he came to do a show at the last minute after Ricky Van Shelton was a no-show. Garth was just getting started as a Star and lots of people did not know who he was--and he did a show that blew the roof off the place. He was wild and great.
My Name is Earl was very funny tonight--one of the best episodes. His brother tried to get a job, and Earl was trying to do good to his friend who was in prison. I assume the first season will be out in a DVD set in the not far off future.
The news of the day centered today on Hamas winning the power in the Palestinian election. Netanyahu has been on the tube saying not to trust them, and Hamas supporters are roaming around Gaza acting militant. Last night Saadam's former top General was on Fox saying that the wmds had been hidden in Syria. Interesting.
Richard Hatch may have to spend 13 years in jail for not paying taxes on his Survivor winnings and his consulting business. Did anyone at CBS work out the tax situation when he won his million? Jokes at work today on whether Richard would have a good time in a prison.
Hang in there, Richard.
I really have little else to relate tonight. I know that stuff is going on in the world, but Drudge has it all on his site. I will sometime weigh in on the Alito situation (I support him for the Court), but others are covering the story from all angles.
This will be all for right now. More next time. It is now 9:10 p.m. Di di mau!
