How You Comin' On Da Blog?
Stewie: How you uh, how you comin' on Da Blog you're working on? Huh? Gotta a big, uh, big stack of papers there? Gotta, gotta nice litte story you're working on there? Da Blog you've been working on for 3 years? Huh? Gotta, gotta compelling protaganist? Yeah? Gotta obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Gotta story brewing there? Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? (voice getting higher pitched) Yea, talking about that 3 years ago. Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah? Yeah? (voice returns to normal) No, no, you deserve some time off.
Hey, look, the Monkees. They were a huge influence on the Beatles.
Lloyd: Uh, what is the Soup Du Jour?
Flo, Waitress #1: It's the Soup of the Day.
Lloyd: Mmmm. That sounds good. I'll have that.
A bit o BBC
Last night, Rhio and I watched a spot of BBC America. The plot unfolded at a deliciously casual pace with nuance and subtlety. Not the stuff of laugh out loudness. Not in your face funny. But immensely clever and a bit wry. Indeed some effort and patience is required but in the end, British humour kicks arse!

On Golden Pond
The image in the mirror this morning was a little scary. I’m turning into my dad I thought as I reached for the Rogaine. I then made my way to the kitchen for my morning Metamucil. Some coffee and the morning paper will give me a jumpstart, but where are my glasses? Well, I do buy ‘em by the 3 pak at Costco and keep a pair in every room.
Ah, middle age. First the hairline recedes and then the eyesight. Hope my penis doesn’t recede. And why am I getting spam about cheap Viagra?
Reflecting back on my fifties so far, I recall 2 hernia surgeries and a gall bladder that got yanked. I feel like my son’s rebuilt Volvo with 160,000 miles on it. I’m reconditioned and good to go.
And the healing process has slowed, as with my groin pull. Thus the freezer full of multiple ice packs. We’re talkin one crotchety crotch!
Still getting older is better than the alternative and life’s good!! Like they say, you use it or you lose it....so that’s my game plan.

Real Compared To What?
It’s 2009 and everybody and their mother has a blog, right? Well, happily not my mom…but anyway. So why check out Da Blog? If you are curious, here’s a little Q&A for ya.
Q: Is it cutting edge with a funky fresh vibe?
A: C’mon I’m like 58 already.
Q: Is it down home and folksy?
A: Ya, you betcha!
Q: Will there be incisive political spin and astute market reviews?
A: How ‘bout not.
Q: Will it fill that existential vacuum?
A: Try reading between the lines.
Q: Will there be mature subject matter and hot chicks?
A: Sheah. There better be!
Q: Will there be double entendre and syntax?
A: Huh?
Q: Will there be a big catharsis?
A: Not on my watch!
Q: What is Da Blog anyway?
A: Exactly.
Well, I hope that will clarify. It’s a place where themes will emerge in a random tapestry. I’ll be sharing my photo trip, my comedic stylings and my casual observations in a diary-like format. It’s both a soft place to land and a nurturing place to leave your comments. Hope you’ll add to your favorites and thus stay in touch. Enjoy, enjoy.

Strange Brew
On a boat in the middle of a raging sea,
She would make a scene for it all to be
Ignored.
And wouldnt you be bored?
Strange brew -- kill whats inside of you.
The GET GO!
Ratso Rizzo: Here I am, goin' to Florida, my leg hurts, my butt hurts, my chest hurts, my face hurts, ... Ratso Rizzo: I'm walkin here! I'm walkin here! ...
Matso Prinzo: I'm bloggin here! I'm bloggin here!
