You heard it here first!

From today's comics...a graphic interpretation of my Nascar Road Atlas reference in previous post:

You're welcome!

NEWS ITEM (1/6/06): Television evangelist Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, which Robertson opposed.

Do you suppose that the only reason that God doesn't smite Robertson now (or, remarkably, hasn't done so yet) is because (S)He simply continues to be astounded by each ridiculous statement by this self-rightous asshole, supposedly channeling the will of the Almighty, and wants to see what happens next? Sort of like auto-racing fans who continue to watch races (a truly fascinating waste of time and energy) to see the next and more horrific crash?

And speaking of auto racing, I saw a "Nascar Road Atlas" at Lowe's the other day. What do you suppose it says on every page for directions? Turn Left. Turn Left Again. Turn Left Again. Damn It, Bubba Joe, not Right, Left!

I apologize in advance for the tastelessness of the following, but I was just wondering: with the recent serious medical news about Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who will take his place as host of "Rosh Hashanah Rockin' Eve?"

New Year! New You?

Told you so. Now get on with life...

The new photo at right (badly cropped in Photoshop) was taken on December 26, at John's Pizzeria on 44th Street, NYC...an excellent suggestion from Carol at http://www.drinkatwork.com ... for a dinner prior to seeing "Spamalot," part of our family Christmas present. Let the record state that I carried that massive martini (Grey Goose, dry, with twist) up a flight of stairs without spilling (and celebrated this achivement by having another one with dinner). Alas, the holidays are pretty much over, though I am enjoying the Federal holiday while the girls are back at school. The calendar was not kind this year. Of course, being in a sales-related position for a living, the calendar is never kind on January 1, when the odometer resets to $0.00 ... may be time to pull out the Grey Goose to gird myself for this year's struggles...
