A few random thoughts

Last week I  picked up an audio book at the library and I'm stunned by how relevant it is......

DIGITAL FORTRESS by Dan Brown...written in 1999....long before Da Vinci Code.

NSA listening is so not new but people letting us know is.....I'm not sure what Mr. Snowden has revealed and will probably have to wait for the movie to find out....but who didn't think this was going on.

The latest interpretation of Superman might be the best.  Just showing how advanced Krypton was is a big advancement in the franchise. 

The San Antonio Spurs are proving that Greg Popovich might be just below the Phil classification.

Subaru makes a cool looking car.

Republicans are trying to take the IRS dealio to the top of the food chain in Washington.  Sometimes it's just as bad when levels just below the top.....think they are doing the right thing.

Am I crazy or do the numbers add up to a vastly improving economy?  Stock market, housing prices, car sales etc.........the unemployment numbers will take longer because manufacturing losses might take ten years to recover.  Learning new skills is not a short term process.

I make more good swings on the golf course than anytime in my life and have been playing golf since the age of 12....that doesn't mean that I play better or score better.  Somethings don't change.

The Great Gatsby was even better the second time.

Aaron Sorkin's NEWSROOM  starts its second season on July 14th,   Might be the best non musical TV show ever made.

The Yasil Puig experience is now in New York and although they got rained out tonight I'm looking forward to the response that a new Mickey Mantle type player gets in the greatest baseball city in the world.  27 championships gives them the bragging rights.

How cool is it that there is a new President in IRAN?  I realize the main man is the Ayatollah but maybe a slight reduction in attitude by the President might move relations in a more civilized direction.
The only leader we get to hear is the President.  The Ayatollah seems to be a rather shy man......externally for sure.

Why can't there be a Pay Per View Rolling Stones concert on HBO or Showtime?

I personally think Kobe will have a great year when he comes back.....but it might not be this next season.  Reach down and pinch your Achilles tendon....now squeeze it.....now snap it.   Imagine being able to play professional basketball within 7 months?

How can people not know who Lindsay Vonn is?  The most decorated skier in American history is a really big deal.

Bees are much too important to be left out of the news.  There should be a weekly national show about CCD.

CANADA DRY GINGER ALE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DRINKS ON THE PLANET.  WHEN YOUR CHILD GETS A STOMACH ACHE AND IT SETTLES DOWN AFTER JUST A FEW SIPS....YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME.  That doesn't change as one becomes an adult.
