With the passing of Walter Cronkite, Don Hewitt, Eunice Kennedy and now the passing of Edward Kennedy – this has been the summer of watching the passing of an era. I feel touched by the airings of the clips of Sen. Kennedy’s speech about the work, hopes and dreams continuing. Based on my readings (and [...]

I’m in denial that it’s almost the end of summer. This Slate article by Daniel Gross raises a good point: it’s kind of hard to criticize government health insurance if you’re a recipient of government health insurance. Well, no one said that hypocrisy isn’t funny. I’ve really enjoyed watching Nova ScienceNow this summer. It had [...]

The last episode of “Top Chef Masters” was great fun. Keller v. Bayless v. Chiarello, with Kelly Choi as host – this was great. (nothing really against Padma Lakshmi, but I have watched way too much Kelly on “Eat Out New York” and got too accustomed to Kelly’s good spirits and enthusiasm). I haven’t watched [...]

My little web presence will be discontinued this fall, since Yahoo is ending geocities in October. Consider this your last opportunity to check it out! … certainly feel free in giving me ideas on options; I am in deliberation. Watched “(500) Days of Summer” – sweet, sad, funny; I recommend it. Yeah there are odd [...]

We had 90 degrees today. Finally, the first time since April 2009. Weird summer, temperature-wise.

Just in time for the “Julie and Julia” movie: PBS has been airing marathons of Julia Child reruns on tv and on-line. ABA Journal’s cover article in the latest issue: “The 25 Greatest Legal TV Shows” — well, I’d quibble with some of their choices. Some (most, really) on the list were shows that lasted [...]

The Clintons and North Korea; setting Americans journalists free — a curious story indeed. There’s even a touch of Clinton/Gore relationship analysis (umm, it is supposed to be about the journalists Ling and Lee and their return, isn’t it? The homecoming was emotional to watch on tv – and must be strange for journalists to [...]

This year really is going by too fast for me. Kitty fight! And, for a bit of a laugh, Kermit and Elmo talk about the concepts of happy and sad. Elmo is kind of schizophrenic, and exasperates Kermit (and you think only Miss Piggy and Grover do that to him? No, really, every other Muppet [...]

Rain on Friday – this is getting a touch crazy, I think – this odd, wet and cool summer, as noticed by NY Times’ Sam Roberts. I’m a little behind on this – but this a hilarious edition of “Pearls Before Swine” – the comic strip about Rat, Pig, Zebra, Goat, and the stoooopid crocodiles [...]
