Hello Again, The title of this blog was the catch-phrase of the late, great sports columnist Jimmy Cannon.....I read some of his columns while doing research in college, he was awesome.....Microwaved leftover pizza is great in its own right.....My friend Lorna is crashing on my couch, after fighting with her boyfriend.....Sleep well, Dear Lorna.....She looks like such an angel sleeping, but I know better, heh heh.....I saw Little Black Book with Brittany Murphy Friday, and Collateral with ...

Hello Again, Finally, a moment to myself.....I won't harp too much on this, but Big Bad Voodoo Daddy had the Hollywood Bowl jumping last night.....The LA Philharmonic Orchestra was awesome, as always.....Combine the two, and you've got some incredible sound.....The 17,000 seat Bowl was about three-quarters filled.....The latest issue of Rolling Stone reports that summer concert season ticket sales have been dismal.....Even Clear Channel, entertainment's Evil Empire, has lowered prices at s...

Hello Again, This list will be incomplete, I'm sure, but I wish..... More people would vote, doesn't matter how they vote.....Instead of using tired, old pickup lines that never worked, interested men would just say "hello" and talk to women like they would anybody else.....Baseball had less between-inning time.....I could go to Europe again.....That companies would stop sending US jobs overseas; that's billions, perhaps trillions of unpaid tax dollars going bye-bye.....Berkeley Breathe...

Hello Again (hrrmph!), I just noticed that we'll be having a Friday the 13th this month.....Suits me fine.....I've rarely had a bad Friday the 13th.....One of my favorite hideaways is the little village of Oak Glen, off of I-10 just beyond Redlands.....If you didn't know better, you'd swear you were in a quaint New England village.....The home made apple pies at the town's only restaurant are incredible!.....I hope the developers never discover it.....They've sullied Redlands, which used t...

Hello Again, I've said it before, and I'll say it again.....Blogging is at least a thousand times better than chat rooms.....Whatever my opinion of President Bush may be, I think his father looks much sleazier and more crooked than his son does.....He's always looked like someone who knows something critical to all, and isn't telling, even though we have a right to know.....He did run the CIA.....I'd buy Polar Ice Cap insurance from Richard Nixon before I'd buy a used car from Bush, Sr.......

Heads Up, Hunch Players, I have a recurring dream.....A king jumps out of a playing card and chases Felix The Cat with his sword.....It always ends with the chase in progress.....Why?.....I'm not the type to wonder what dreams and nightmares mean.....But I wonder why this one pops up over and over.....Besides "Giant" (way overrated) and "Seconds", did Rock Hudson ever make a good movie?.....Don't get me started on those "epics" with Doris Day.....Sorry, patriots, but John Wayne was waaay o...

Hello Again, On this particular Saturday night, I stayed home.....I went nowhere, saw no one.....It was divine.....Lake Wobegon is fine.....Soup, sandwich & Fritos was my dinner.....Also fine.....Yankee Stadium is an awesome place.....I was there in May.....I've been to NYC only twice, but both times it's been a great visit.....I'm looking foward to going again sometime.....Tapestry by Carole King is the greatest female artist album, ever.....Sheryl Crow will be one of the all-time greats,...

Hello Again, They are now selling Prozac at Dodger Stadium.....But only when Eric Gagne enters a game.....Where has West Coast Julie Brown (the white one) been lately?.....Who'll ever forget her big hit, Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun?.....My big Saturday plans: listening to Prarie Home Companion.....Watching a video.....Reading a book.....Extra sleeping.....Not going anywhere & feeling good about it.....I talk a lot about Nevada, but Arizona is also a good place to visit.....New Mexico, too...

Hello Again, Didja ever notice that we live much of our lives making references to or dealing with people, places and things known for their three letters? I'll bet we know all these.....

Hello Again, I read with great consternation that Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig was just granted a 3-year extension through 2009. This comes less than 3 months after he said that he wouldn't serve past 2006. Previously, he said that he wouldn't serve past 1998. What a politician he would make! In spite of his questionable leadership, baseball is in good, if not great shape. The NFL & NBA have clearly surpassed baseball in popularity and Selig must bear the blunt of the blame...

Hello Again, Earlier, I spent over 2 hours working on a blog.....The whole thing was about baseball.....It was carefully & lovingly written, as I love the game.....I also have slow dial-up service.....You see it coming, don't you?.....A friend calls me, and I lose my AOL connection.....Of course I lose the blog.....I was beyond pissed.....I was sooo pissed that I went to the bathroom & pissed.....I also discovered that my cat had left a dead mouse in there.....Thanks a lot, kitty!.....And ...

Hello Again, You know that day destroys the night.....Night divides the day.....If I hear one more "clever" anchorperson, weather nerd or DJ call Wednesday "Hump Day", I'm going to scream!.....What has gotten into the Cleveland Indians?.....Great article in the latest Rolling Stone about Clear Channel and their stranglehold on radio and concert promotions.....The Athens Olympics are creating the least amount of buzz locally that I can remember.....Ruth isn't terribly bright, either.....Who...

Hello Again, In all seriousness, I do enjoy this.....It's a welcome release for someone who works professionally as a writer.....Even if someone disagrees with something I wrote, I take it as a sign they care, and I don't take it personally.....Internet reports are calling last night's WWE SummerSlam SummerSnore.....I'll see a friend's tape of it later.....Vince McMahon should take note, though: An awful lot of people paid an awful lot of money to see the pay-per-view.....And the arena in ...

Hello Again, I've always wondered, EXACTLY how many Cheerios O's does General Mills manufacture in a year?.....Or how many are in a box?.....If I was to buy an old British sports car from the 60's.....Like a Triumph TR3 or an Austin Healy Bugeye Sprite.....Would I be able to get parts for it?.....What's the difference between an Indian elephant and an African elephant?.....Smog devices, required by the State of California, are a big joke.....Where do flies go at night?.....I think the comm...
