Talk of the town
Even though I'm working at home on my consulting gig, I seem to be too busy to get out much. Today, I treated myself to lunch out at a favorite place. (No bacon-infused bourbon for me, though.) Got back just in time for my next conference call.

Reading Rainbow
We had brunch with a family of professors. They have a broad and deep selection of literature and reference works on their shelves. Sorted by color. Not topic, not alphabetically, not Library of Congress ... color. Even down to the shade. They claim that a "friend" came by and did this.
Suuuuure.
This pic is just a small sample. I found the entire wall section devoted to shades of red particularly moving.

Dummkopf
So, I see this guy in the airport at LAX. He's got a portable DVD player on his lap, and I see what looks like a cop and an Army officer. Gee, I think they look a lot like Sergeant Schultz and Colonel Klink. Nah... it couldn't be. I look closer. It is! He's watching Hogan's Heroes on DVD.
I have to marvel at this. Who would actually choose to own and watch that pretty much unredeemable dreck? Is this guy a cast member or the president of the fan club?
Take a close look at his open briefcase, on the floor next to his chair. Two plastic-sealed vintage Hogan's Heroes magazines.
You be the judge.

Checking in, again
It's becoming a ritual now. Every month when I visit D.C., I have to check in on the construction of the round theater building. Not as much progress as I would have expected.
