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.......
Hello Again (killed off the previous greeting), I admit it, I just can't resist: Lawrence Welk reruns.....Wrestling.....Kentucky Fried Chicken, extra crispy.....Comic books.....WWII movies.....Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.....Maverick reruns.....Driving on Pacific Coast Highway for no apparent reason.....Big band music, especially Glenn Miller, both Dorseys, and Cab Calloway.....Shopping for shoes.....Sourdough bread.....My favorite salon.....Candlelight.....Humphrey Bogart.....Internet r...
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...
Heads Up, Harvesters, I just had to get the previous blog out of my system before I started this one.....Back to our regularly scheduled blog.....The Dodgers just traded away the NL West title.....Probably also the NL Wild Card.....Good thing I'm an Angel fan, even if I have to go 40 miles to see them.....Love those Hittin' Halos.....The Dodger Dog is highly overrated.....Why do Ivy League alums always tell you in their very first sentence where they went to school?.....I miss seeing the n...
Heads Up, Habitants, I need to make some corrections on earlier dispatches: I was too hard and judgemental on Carribeans and cholos. I forgot about a very nice Carribean lady I met recently, and who, unfortunatly, has left the neighborhood. Just because I saw one act like a jerk on a bad Saturday Night I was having doesn't mean I should stain the whole group. I've put cholos down in earlier blogs, but the fact remains that I see twenty and thirty-something versions of them everyday,...
Heads Up, Harmonizers, It's all self-explanatory: Songs and/or artists I NEVER want to hear again! An asterisk * indicates that I'm fine with the artist, but not the song. I'm sure my list, like the others, will be incomplete and not all will agree, but I'm not speaking for all, just little ol' me. Ready? Get out your cuspidors..... Billy, Don't Be a Hero, Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods.....Wolverton Mountain, Claude King.....Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter, Herman's Hermits.....D...
Heads Up, Huggers, Like a dog just out of a bath, I'm shaking off Saturday night.....Insert your own punchline here.....You know things are bad when you see a limo driver copping an attitude.....They're supposed to be courteous and gentlemanly, right?.....Not this one I saw last night.....Illegally parked and with his brights on.....Sheesh!.....A security guard from a nearby nightclub asked him to please turn down the brights.....Asked him nicely.....To put it politely, he didn't.....I can...
Heads Up, Hackneyed, My latest list is of people, and things of all sorts that we didn't get enough of. They all stopped much too early. Maybe they fall into the category of All Good Things Must Come To An End. Dammit. I'm sure it will be incomplete, I always think of something I want to say later on, but here goes, anyway: The Beatles.....John F. Kennedy.....Rod Serling.....Mark "The Bird" Fydrich.....Karen Carpenter.....Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA).....The WWE's Christopher Nowitz...
Heads Up, Hot Mailers, Can you believe I'm doing this for the tenth time?.....I mean, like #10, volume X?.....Oh well, let's roll anyway.....Doncha just hate people who haven't gotten Call Waiting yet?.....Busy signals are sooo early 1980's.....I love sourdough bread.....Halle Berry, currently stinking up movie theatres everywhere in Catwoman, has all the tools to be a future legend.....She has won an Oscar, and has all the talent in the world.....A bikini and Latex will not help her caree...

Al Sharpton.....Mary "Tipper" "Tennessee Trailer Trash" Gore.....Maurice Clarrett.....The remaining Bee Gees.....Joy Behar.....Kobe Bryant.....CBS President Leslie Moonves.....Barry Manilow.....Star Jones.....Robin Williams.....MIchael Eisner.....David Bowie.....Jerry Falwell.....Whoopi Goldberg.....Gov. Arnold Schwartzenegger.....Mick Jagger.....Pat Robertson.....SLA ...
Heads Up, Headliners, Doncha just hate it when you have to pop your ears?.....Blogging is at least a thousand times better than chat rooms.....AOL does some strange things, that's why I no longer blog there.....What's wrong with getting another JFK? We got another Bush, and look what that got us.....Vanity Fair is the greatest read among magazines.....Certain people who think they know me are soon in for a surprise or two.....Don't ask.....Big noses are actually assets on dark-haired peopl...
