Becky, oh, yes, Season of the Witch. I liked to figure stuff out on my own. Good times.
Re: terminology, we still call movies films. People still major in film. Somehow today's language, MP3, video, digital, etc. falls short of magic.

That's funny. I recently performed SEASON OF THE WITCH at an open mic in a brew pub here in WA. A gentleman from the audience sought me out after my turn on stage to let me know that my presentation of the song made him feel as paranoid ast it did some decades ago. I thanked him. It was a compliment wasn't it?

Greeting fellow Braves.

I am enjoying summer break from school. Yup, still look forward to days off and I must admit, still like playing "hookie" after all these years. I will be  turning 65 this summer (remember: I was a year older than most of you since I could not speak English when I arrived in Ohio in the 2nd grade). I am getting all this paperwork from Medicare about which plan I want to choose...but Medicare? Seriously? Isn't that for really old people? Old people that talk incessantly about their ill health and crab about all the aches and pains? Wait...that IS me. LOL I still move around enough to be active...but that is a relative term.

Steve VW, I was reading your past post about your momories of Wallace Lake. I have a recollection  you, me, and Ed Zelaski paddling around in the middle of the lake, consuming adult beverages in my 2 man rubber raft. I remember the pissed off park rangers on their megaphones telling us to "bring that raft ashore". Apparently my water craft was not registered with the state, so I ended up taking my act to Coe Lake where I could float around with no harassment from  enforcement types. Now that was a cool lake; kind of like a Walden's Pond in the middle of Berea. They've developed that area since then, with gazebos, fountains, bridges, and pathways. We all know that time doesn't stand still so a bit of "progress" must be expected. I must admit Berea has done a fine job retaining the small town atmosphere.

Nobu,

I must have lead the most vanalla life in the history of Berea High. If anyone in authority had shouted "bring that raft ashore" at me I'd have had a load in my pants.....

Nobu, as I recall the Wallace Lake incident, we had put the wine, Spanada I believe, in 32 ounce coke bottles. As we paddled in, we held the bottles in the water, letting them fill and sink. The ranger certainly spent a fair amount of time "interrogating" us on their whereabouts.

LOL Steve, I blame our poor behavior on what Freudian psychologists attribute to some individuals having difficulty growing out of the anal (orifice) stage. By the way, it's dark in here but I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Hey we did comply with the rangers, it just took us a while to get to shore on an overloaded raft with small plastic paddles. Singing (row row row your boat) and laughing enroute, and sinking our evidence  further drew their angst. 

Ed, great memory on  the Spanada wine.  I think we became the experts on cheap bum wines during that era; Boones Farm, MD 2020, and don't know if we ever drank Thunderbird but we sure knew their jingle: What's the word? Thunderbird What's the price? 30 twice  What's the reason? Grapes' in season What's the action? Satisfaction.

And... "What's it like? Smooth as silk and twice as nice!"

Juliana Savino

You forgot Ripple. What an era of bad wine it was. To paraphrase:

What's the word? Thunderbird. What's the taste? Indistrial waste.

Haha, Julie!  Thunderbird worked well when paired with a Whopper, producing a veritable rainbow with the ensuing projectile vomit.

O.K.
If you guys & dolls...are rolling down that swilly highway. ..
Remember Hop'n Gator...? Like a Beery lemon-lime Gatorade...or worse...
...And that classy "varietal" Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill...?
All cheap...but you "paid the price" nonetheless..!
Cheers

Juliana,

Different topic but, "puerile punk's pacifier holder", nice alliteration regarding Curry's tantrum.

You can't call fouls on me. I'm the MVP and can do whatever I want, so there!

OK here we go, game 7. Have experienced the Miracle of Richfield (Joe Tait was the best), the disappointments of the shot, the fumble, the drive, and did the 9th inning melt down of Jose Mesa against Atlanta have a name? Waiting for game time. Go Cavs!

Kyrie's three over Steph erased all of that. The Curse of Rocky Colavito has been broken. Long live The King!

Juliana Savino

OK, I wished for a close, hard-fought finale, and then bit  my nails to my elbow. They all did their part. Kevin Love's 14 rebounds and his exquisite harrassment of Curry from about 00:40 to 00:30 can't go unnoticed. Irving's shot was the only one that hit of the last 17 possessions, by either team. Lebron's tumble and triumph at the end was a real-life "Rocky" moment.  RJ's speech made me cry.

And. . . the Tribe swept the Sox. 216 will pwn 2016. You heard it here.

Hey, thanks, Eddie. I was going for some color there.

HI, everybody,

 

Steve Rowsey is featured on the NYT website, right here:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/23/opinion/campaign-stops/what-does-donald-trump-mean-to-you.html

Re: the RNC. Like the Washington Post said, we didn't have a riot, we had a block party. All the bloodletting was inside the convention hall. Lots of cops on bicycles, a "Schwinn Blue Line" if you will.

Steven Rowsey

Juliana,

And what a block party it was--standing arm's length from Chuck Todd! The only problem was the NYT used a picture of my grandfather...

I want to wish all BH classmates with July birthdays a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  God bless you and I pray you have many more.

Jen

Hard to believe that in a country of over 300 million people the best we have is those two.  Thank God for Famous Grouse!

Steven Rowsey

You are so right, John. A poor selection from which to choose. That NYT reporter got one quote right-- what Donald Trump means to me is trouble. But I told her I voted for Bernie Sanders because I didn't want to have to vote for Hillary more than once this year.


07/24/16 01:07 PM #221    

 

Arthur Rohlik

Can you say "that boy is out of touch!"?

I had to look up Famous Grouse and Chuck Todd just to understand the dialog. I can, however, keep up with birthday greetings and I wish Jen all the best for her next trip around the sun.

Prediction regarding the coming week in Philadelphia: A wing-nut, right-leaning pundit will declare that the weather is hot as hell, so that Hillary will feel right-at-home. ( And if those wing nuts lean right any more they are going to fall over )

Jennifer Runyon

​Art, you are too funny!  I'm going around Jupiter right now.  That means everyone stays young until my next birthday greeting.  I may hold off for a while, so rejoice!

John Nobu Naylor (Akagi)

Agree with Steve and John regarding the lack of qualified candidates.  Have always voted for the democratic nominee but I cannot bring myself to vote for Hlilary this election. I actually like Trump's positions on some issues. May have to write in a candidate this November.  Is Pat Pauson still around?

John Priefer

Is it just me or is watching the caliber of campaign coverage just like watching the cast of HUNGER GAMES?
