So Long Erin!!

Random oddball stuff.

First thing I want to do is wish Erin from The Columbus Pioneer all the luck in the world on her new job in Madison. Congrats. The Pioneer is now known as the place you go to get a BETTER job, thanks.

Also Joe the Editor says the website will be updated every Friday afternoon . . . .unless more people get better jobs! So far 50% of all the people I have met at the CP have left! I almost feel responsible. It's like when I go to a party and everybody leaves to go to a better party. Weird.

You all know what Monday is don't you? It's the 16th Annual Jimmy the Stick Day.

For the 16th consecutive year Jimmy the Stick will poke it's branch into the sky looking for it's shadow. So far he has stayed even with the other creature in that town south of Columbus. YET - eats less. In past years Jimmy the Stick has been to Las Vegas (where he was forgotten in the trunk for the entire trip) and almost held by the Air National Guard (before they realized just what I wanted them to do).

But Jimmy is feeling his age and I think I'll have to put some lotion on him as he is getting a little brittle. So tune in Monday for the festivities.

And speaking of sticks - I got these bone spurs in my foot that are causing me pain. I guess everybody has bone spurs, it's just that I have one that seems to have irritated some muscle so I'm on a ibuprofen high at the moment. WHOO HOO! BABY!! FEEL'IN MIGHTY FINE!!

Hey! Check out this you tube thing - it's pretty cool. Jimmy Carter is the first President to smile. Heck - I've never heard of a few of these guys LOL

Anybody watch "24"? Next year (day) will be Jacks last and they are wondering if he should be killed or live happily ever after. But then the idea for a movie came up so I think they are thinking to NOT kill him.

So - who is the mole in the FBI ????? I hope it's not Janeane Garofalo (Janis Gold). Plus - the young Secret Service dude getting killed by a half paralyzed old First Husband? It ALMOST seems like they are just making stuff up and it's not real.

Ever really like a rock group and then see what they look like? OH MY GOD!!

I listen to Octane on Sirius/XM and last week a caller called in saying he was 40 and listened to Octane. The comment was afterword how it was nice to see someone THAT OLD listening to rock. THAT OLD??? What - am I suppose to be listening to Frank Sinatra? THAT OLD?

OK OK - so perhaps I'm not "into" the look of Slipknot (google them). On another note - this is the #1 song for that genre - check it out - dorky video but the music is fine - Shinedown.

And second to lastly - I want to say high to the dude in the Islamic Republic Of Mashhad, Khorasan, Iran. I think you are the first person to read the blog from Iran. National Geographic had an issue on Iran, what a beautiful Country you have.

AND lastly - I see 77 Square published something and put my name on it. I made a random comment on their website under the Public Enemies article they had last week and then I see it printed in this weeks paper.

I think if I would have known they would print that I would not have posted the comment. I'm a very private person and don't want everything I think and feel "out there". I'll have to be more careful.

And Columbus Pioneer notes. I see in the Want Adds under Pets you can buy dressed rabbits at $3 a pound. First of all what are they dressed in, is it work casual or formal? and this per pound thing. Never considered getting a pet by the pound.

(I think I'm now in trouble with the newspaper people - Mayor Nancy yesterday and now Joe the Editor).

OK - have a great weekend and Superbowl. Look for 1930's style advertisements "rumor" is there are a few of them but no Public Enemies.

OH - ONE MORE THING - I think our first place to eat will be . . . . . . .Nelsons Crossing in Deansville!

Cheers
