Remember that old 1970 movie with Barbara Striesand and George Segal? It
was before BS became a disgusting liberal activist.

I found the VHS at Half-Price Books today for $1.98 and we watched it this
afternoon. Puke.

It's going in the trash for Billy Bob and Jimmy Jack to haul away next trash
day.

I can't say I'm a big fan of Billy Joel. I don't dislike him, mind. He's
just not at the top of my favorite musical artist list. But last night I
went to see him in concert for the 2nd time (the last time was February
of 2006 at the Garden) and I'm still reeling!

This was to be the final concert at Shea Stadium before it gets torn
down and replaced by a new ball park at the end of the season. The first
concert ever held there was in 1965, the year after it opened, by the
Beatles. Sadly, I didn't get to that one, although my brother was one of
the cops who rode with the group in the Wells Fargo armored car from
their hotel to the stadium.

Anyway, last night was the final concert at Shea. It was hot and humid
and Billy Joel didn't come on stage until 45-minutes after the
advertised start time of 8pm. He began, appropriately, with a fine
rendition of the National Anthem. Then, he swung into the many songs
he's written over the years, some recognizable, some not so much so. But
all done well by the aging artist. He was wearing in his lapel, the
Wells Fargo badge that Ringo Starr wore at the first concert.

does asking questions make you a creative genius?

well, probably far moreso that NOT asking questions.

or do you disagree for some silly reason?

Some of these are pretty funny. this one seems a good one for Geno:

" I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it
'Pumping Rust'."

From:

"Ramblings of a Retired Mind"

" I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell
phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't
afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener. I also made a cover
for my hearing aid and now I have what they call blue teeth, I think.

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people
didn't like me anyway.

I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on
beer cans!

I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you
still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce
it.'

I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it
'Pumping Rust'.

Me, I was a radio operator in the United States Air force--1956-1962.

If you time these guys you will count 11 words in 18 seconds. I sat down
with a pen and pad and tried to stay with them. Tough.

Bare the rain while it falls the same,
pitter patter splashy splatter,
feel the wet hair damply matter,
keep the joy do not gloom sadder.

When you need release,
surging pumping please,
reach through the liquid phase,
Devote, upgrade phase.
Surviving knowledge ways,
and stand on the thought,
boldly, bravely, access fought.

The cold soaking skin heats free
when you move fingers, arms,
elbows, toes, feet, legs, tummy & knees.

Slowing past immunes recovering,
shelter, shower, eat cared on cooking.
Then repeat, future looking.

Christ's love
