A gloomy wet night in the season before winter gets here. Exciting Nascar race tonight. The news can be found in Drudge and numerous other news websites. Jane Wyman and Alice Ghostly both passed away in the last month. There is an interesting article in MSN about how babyboomer-aged people do not read the internet (the article centered on a bunch of college-types at the U of Iowa). Well, I peruse the internet with great devotion.
A friend died the other day and I went to his funeral this afternoon. He planned his funeral which was a rocknroll-Packers-Masonic ceremony. As seems to happen in life we had drifted away from one another for several years, and had not gotten together for a long time. Now he is gone and I wish we could have gotten together before he died of cancer, and all I have now are the memories of good times we had when we were buddies. Chuck, I will miss you and we had some good wild times.
There is some stuff online about a bio due out soon about Charles Schultz, detailing what a miserable human being he really was. And I am part way through a big bio by Hamby relating what a lier and incompetent Harry Truman was. And I found a new book at Borders' contending that no one who has ever written Anything about World War 2 knew what they were talking about. So much for the fun of reading.
But I did find out that the crumbling old hotel in my hometown was once a hideout for Jesse James and there was a secret passage behind the wall in the room he always stayed in that he could use to get out of the hotel. Ma said that Grandpa had heard the stories about the room and the passage, but I had never heard of it. Now I know some town lore.
The Nascar drivers have been wrecking all night at Lowes'.
This has not been a Fun week, so I this is not a happy blogging tonight. So, you take care, and I will try to have some more stuff the next time I hit the keys. Di di mau!
