Finally

It'll come off Saturday evening just before we sit down to my birthday dinner. I've been avoiding trimming it for the last coupla weeks and it's really getting out of hand. Even the kids make fun of it. If you happen to be in town, stop in for BBQ.

¡Basta!

MESSAGES FROM SWAMI SRI SVOBODANANDA

“Let all beings be happy; let all beings be peaceful; let all beings be blissful.”

"Let your mind dwell on some holy personality ─ a Buddha, a Christ, a Ramakrishna, a Dylan, a Lennon, a Van Housen, a Martin Weiner. Then concentrate upon his heart. Try to imagine how it must feel to be a great saint; pure and untroubled by sense-objects, a knower of Brahman [supreme Reality]. Try to feel that the saint’s heart has become your heart, within your own body. "

Damned Wevisionist Wabbit

You're On OUR Roster!

Bwah-hah-haw-haw!!

Now Comes The Real Test

After some cost/benefit ruminations we dumped our cable subscription last spring. It was a simple matter to reroute the coax and install an antenna in the attic.



Doing without the programming was surprisingly painless, even for the kids. I did miss baseball for a while, but I got over that (check the standings). I wasn't worried about the Donx because the local station broadcasts all games, even the ones that ESPN has primary rights to.

But I didn't reckon with college football. (sigh) I just got off the phone after wangling an invite to watch the CU/CSU game at a friend's house this afternoon.

One day at a time.

Enquiring Minds Want to Know

I had every intention of completing my Chicken-Blogging with a demonstration of how to butterfly a bird for the oven a coupla weeks ago, but I ran into some Creative Differences issues with my photographer during the shoot. She favored detail over context and some key frames came out looking like an alien autopsy.

We will try again.

Who's on what roster?!?

So I sez to Mabel, I sez, WHO'S ON WHAT ROSTER!!!!!

Meanwhile, in an Alternate Universe...

The Recent Future

THE RECENT FUTURE

At a kitchen table in some small town in America, a young man (pictured here) offers a cup of coffee to his elderly companion.

“Uh, a cup of coffee, Professor?”

The Professor appears distracted, looking askance while fidgeting with his slide rule and mutters, “Hmm, yes, Bill, apparently so.”

“So Professor,” continues Bill, “Do you think Man will ever return to the Moon?”

Once again distracted the Professor stares out the window and says, “Hmm, well Bill, they say that Uranus is a huge gaseous giant!”

“But what about returning to the Moon, professor?”

“Hmm, well, yes, err, definitely sometime in the recent future. Yes, in the recent future, certainly!” (mumbles... slackjawed ... ...) (three dots)

Heh heh heh.
