CALI: I was just kidding. I don't follow it very often, but I know he has won he's been successful. I seem to remember he has lost some others in the past that he could have won, though.

JR, no doubt Dale Jr. has had some slumps. Fact is, just a handful of guys have won most of the Sprint Cup races the past few years. One of the things I like about the competition in the sport is that it still has a reward for a job well done even though the victory trophy might not have been lifted.

Rocky, I'm gonna catch up on your shares a bit later. Right now I'm helping my wife with her online photos.


Speaking of which, here is one I referenced about a month ago taken while we were in Florida for my daughter's graduation from The University of Florida. This is while we were super casual dining on oysters and shrimp from the rooftop of a 6 story 1970'ish beachside hotel on Fort Myers Beach. We saw the bird dive in the surf and come up. And he circled us twice closely, as if to show off about his catch:


This is one of my wife's entries in our upcoming County Fair we so much look forward to.


And here is the lovely photographer with some guy that needed to lose some pounds and hit the weights more. I've been on his rear end about it and he's doing better.

Virginia and Rita nearly topped Michelle in "The Fabulous Baker Boys"


I especially enjoyed Rita with the 1906 reference..

Danke.

Rusty, you win. You had this meted out in your perspective from the get go. And you were right.


I'm hollowed from today's events. I just know he brought this Northeastern Ohio Fan the only Championship of my lifetime outside of Woody Hayes in 1968.

And he owned Fichigan.

I knew little about Grace Kelly, but I knew of her enough to seek out the site of her wreck in Monaco.

It was an easy road to wreck on.

I bought a couple of bottles of decent Italian wine for about $4 US total not far from where her car left the road. Circa 1990.

I remember my former wife bitching the next morning that I did not have the proper adaptive plug for her curling iron to work while we were in Cannes.

Note, I said my former wife.

TFISC- I enjoyed the 'Bakers Boys' clip, I have not seen this film!

Nice character there for Pfeiffer.

Oh man, you have to see it. Nice score, and a nice intelligent story.

Any movie with a dog, a music premise and a hooker is one not to be missed.

It's free on Comcast right now. Maybe you can find it for free however you view television.

Saw a movie on PPV the other day..."I Am Number 4".

Without giving the movie away I can say the kid and his dad move to Ohio....dad gives him a Bernie Kosar poster so he can talk about football and fit in....then the kid finds a dog and names it Bernie Kosar.

I smiled almost as much as when they changed the course of history in Hot Tub Time Machine.

Turns out the book was written by a guy that grew up in Ohio...a young adult sci-fi genre....pretty good for an Ohio kid.

That movie was filmed in Pennsylvania, the Florida Keys, and near Magic Mountain and Santa Clarita CA. $60,000,000 to film it, and thus far it's in the red grossing 55 million.

My wife submitted four photos to The Alameda County Fair competition for review and entry.

Last year I think she had either one of three, or two of four accepted.

This year she nailed a four for four.

I'm proud of her and have a trip to the frame shop tomorrow for her displays.

One of her photos accepted was a Grady Sizemore inspired work of me in front of a mirror wearing just a well hung cowboy hat. (not really, but I did try to sell her on the theme.....)


I think she's gonna place with one this year. It was so neat to see her thrilled that someone bought her accepted entry at last year's fair.
