I got nuthin'. Saw Sophie's Choice last night. Probably the best job Meryl Streep ever did. Kevin Kline is brilliant as usual. The guy who played Stingo was the only weak spot and I don't recall ever seeing him again.

7/7/09
Gonzo Gets A Job
Finally, Alberto gets a teaching job at Texas Tech. That didn't take too long.
The Boss Is Out Of Town
And the backroon boys, Rahm and Joe start spoutng off. Barak has to bust their balls from the road.
My prediction is: If Obama fails in a major way, it will be because of Rahm. Don't like him, never have. And Biden is a smiling jackass. Which is, btw, the symbol of the Democratic Party.

Wimbledon Is Done
Had to get up at 9am to watch. 5 sets. 5th set went 30 games but Roger finally eeeked out his 15th major, 6th Wimbledon.

7/4/09
Tomorrow Wake-Up
9am for the Wimbledon final. I got it TiVoed but I think I'll get up and see it live. Should be fun either way. It would be nice to see Andy get one cuz you know Roger will keep winning. Also can't begrudge Roger. Never saw Laver play but I still gotta think he was the greatest of all time.

Serena this time. Roger v. Roddick next up.

7/3/09
F.L. Wright
Exhausted after FL Wright show @ Guggenheim. Huge crowd and long line about 45 minutes. Beautiful drawings but the show would be more tolerable to absorb as a book. Lots of unbuilt buildings. Kate says he designed about a thousand and built about 500.
Quote Of The Day
"I hope not. You know, I talked to God about that and he was like, 'No.'"
-- Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher, on whether he would seek public office

Karl Malden, 97 RIP
Wow. 97. Great actor. Go HERE.
Insidious Diabetes
My friend Carl and I both suffer with type 2 diabetes. We are both beginning to have episodes of low blood sugar which sneaks up and you find yourself feeling very loopy and disoriented. We almost lost Carl a couple days ago. Luckily our friend Jerry came home in time to call 911 before he slipped into total coma. I had one a couple nights ago too and it is very unpleasant, not to mention scary.
Democrooks
Yes there are enough to go around. War hero Daniel Inouye for one. Go HERE.
NOVA
If you missed last nights Musical Minds you should find it on PBS. An amazing show.
Kate The Great
Coming home for the weekend tonight. I'm tickled.
