I love PBS
It is one of the only charities I give to regularly.
I don't have cable and I don't want it, and I think that most of this is due to PBS.
I love 60 minutes
We watched another "Ken Burns" American Hero,
It was Thomas Jefferson
A perplexing character
so often thought of as this american god/hero
the show on him really humanized him...I liked it
I am not big on AMerican History...but this was incredible hearing his love poems and his dieary entries about mixed feelings on the slave issues and what not...you never think of these people as real human with heart and feelings and lovers and whatever...
And we have been watching these NOVA specials where they are always building old structures with modern engineers using old techniques...I have seen the "building the roof of the collosseum" "medevil catapult" and now the "rainbow bridge" They are pretty neat as far as engineering and physics goes...It is amazing to think of how these structures were built so long ago without any of the stuff we have...Can you imagine? It just occuring to you to build something as beautiful and mechanically sound as an arch? A work of art and an architectrual feat like no other...these sort of things revolutionized the way people lived and the way cultures evolved....
Way cool...
I think I am getting a piano tomarrow
I miss it too much
and the boy said it would be okay
I just don't want the dog to eat it
One more week before I am alone at the office!
I have new glasses.

(in woody allen voice): need an usher?
[hopefully the context of the quote is known to you and my terrible woody allen imitation won't alienate you]
do you do the sunday crossword?
i dated a girl who looked like peewee and smelled like boiled hotdogs. she had really nice veins in her arm. i'm no junky, but i love veins. i guess she had a runners build, so you know the veins popping through the skin thing i'm talking about, right?
i like in _fargo_ how that witness described steve b. as "litte weird fella" or something like that. i get that a lot too. i love it. being an imp is awesome.
those aren't all my cats, but like any other sensitive indie boy, i cherish and love cats. send me photos of yours.
