Dance Every Day Like It Is Your Last.

Because, one day it will be.

 

Sometimes, Being The Chief Of The Grammar Police Is A Thankless Job.

Plurals and Possessives are a B@#$%. In Grammar Jail, no one can hear you scream.

#FridayDance - Dancing Sometimes Becomes OverActing.

You still need to dance on the Friday after a holiday; but, don't overdo it.

Just don't call me "Late for Dinner".

Thanksgiving Is Not A Good Time To Start A Diet.

Actually, there is no time to start a diet. Diets presume deprivation of the pleasure of eating tasty food, like turkey, sage dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, whipped cream, and I could go on. At my age, however, diets are somewhat anti-climactic. I am already considered by some to be past my expiration date. This confers some freedom in dietary choices, a freedom that I plan to exploit at every opportunity. So, bicycle guy, deprive yourself as much as you want. I will live joyously for the both of us. 

Xmas Comes Late In Japan.

I don't think this Japanese Department Store Window dresser gets it. But, hey maybe Santa Claus did die for our sins. We do engage in gluttony on Thanksgiving and Xmas.

It Turns Out That The Real First Thanksgiving Was Here In Florida.

Before The Pilgrims, The First Thanksgiving Was In St. Augustine. As woke activists challenge the Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts as a symbol of early American settlers dominating the indigenous population, it is interesting to find out that the true first Thanksgiving was a diversely populated meal in St. Augustine, Florida in 1565. By 1621, the melding of the races had already begun in Florida. 

"Historical eyewitness accounts describe the first Thanksgiving as a scene marked by diversity, with colonists and local Timucuan people in attendance. More than 400 artifacts left behind by the various cultural groups that made up the first colony are currently on display in the Florida Museum’s exhibit, “First Colony: Our Spanish Origins.”"

Whichever tradition you favor, Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks in the present, and the continual savaging of the sins of the past serves no rational purpose, other than to divide us. Just stop it. And, thank whatever deity you believe in that you get to spend another Thanksgiving day on the earth. Your reaction to life is the only thing you control anyway. I choose to spend my day giving thanks for my wife, the turkey, football on television, and the other delights that await me today. You do what you want. 

WKRP - Turns Out Turkeys Can't Fly.

I post this iconic scene from "WKRP In Cincinnati" every Thanksgiving for those of you too young to remember. It is the best TV comedic sketch of all time. Les Nessman's dialog and genuine horror is classic. I laugh every time I see it.

This will be a must see movie this coming summer. Awesome Trailer.

 

Sometimes I Regret Championing Court Technology In The Eighties And Nineties.

Hello. My name is Rick. Hi, Rick. I am a technology addict. I have been touting technology for lawyers and courts since the Eighties. I have coaxed, cajoled, written about, and used almost every technology advance for over forty years. While a member of the Florida Court Technology Commission, I suggested, and championed, the use of video conferencing technology in courtrooms, law offices, and hearing rooms. Sometimes, I regret my decisions. But, I did it my way.
