Happy Rocky And Bullwinkle Day!

I can't believe I almost missed Rocky and Bullwinkle day. In my youth, it was my favorite cartoon show, and I am certain that my warped sense of humor was shaped by the "before its time" combination of adult and child humor. Good clean fun has gone out of fashion; but the squirrel and moose also led to my interest in Monty Python in high school and college. If you aren't having fun, you aren't doing life right.

Call Me A Boomer If You Like, But We Had Heroes Who Fought Injustice.

If you want to know where boomers got their deep, abiding interest in fighting injustice, and supporting the American way, you need go no further than the TV shows we watched on Saturday mornings. At least, our indoctrination was aimed at creating a better world.

Be Curious, Not Judgmental.

White House Mystery. Execupundit ponders the mystery of Joe Biden's exit from the Presidential race, and whether he was "nudged", and by whom. He considers the amazing lack of curiosity of the Press Corps, and asks whether there is a Press Corps anymore. Journalism, as it has existed for two hundred years, is certainly disappearing, if it even exists anymore. The journalist's curiosity, as an agent of the rest of us, isn't there anymore, fed by a judgmental attitude that seems rather one-sided to independent thinkers. It recalls the caption phrase, often misattributed to Walt Whitman; but, who knows who said it first? My favorite recent use of the term is the excellent TV series, Ted Lasso, in which Ted recalls his father's advice to him, in order to teach a lesson to an antagonist. Never assume that your position is the only correct one. Always be curious. You learn a lot that way. It is the hallmark of a good attorney. As soon as we think we know it all, it is axiomatic that we are about to learn a tough lesson. 

 

Bucs Versus Jaguars Tonight.

The Bucs are my team; but I grew up in Jax, so I also like the Jaguars. It is good that tonight's game is meaningless. I will watch it on TV when we get home from the Rays game. This is what I looked like several years ago when I last attended a Bucs-Jags game. I am thinking of growing a real beard and mustache; except that it grows in with a lot of gray. 

Regular Maintenance Is Required, Even On Starships.

Starship interiors take a pounding, and regular touchups are required. The maintenance guy can keep a starship in stardock for days while he gets his work done.

So, FutureLawyer, How Did You Spend Your Youth?

I still remember getting a tiny console black and white TV in the early Fifties. On Saturday mornings, we sat in front of it in the Living Room and watched cartoons. This is one of my favorites; though we didn't get color TV until I was in Law School, in the late Sixties. Our first TV shows were Rocky and Bulwinkle, Mickey Mouse Club, The Lone Ranger, and others. 

 

When Did You Start Watching Sports On Your Phone? While At A Sporting Event?

MLBTV On My Phones And Tablets. Thanks, T-TMobile.

One Big Reason To Be A T-Mobile Customer.

TMobile Free MLBTV Offer Is Live For One Week. I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile some years ago, and will never go back. T-Mobile provides great cell service, at a total cost of less than half what I was paying Verizon. Verizon was arrogant and rude with customer service to me, while T-Mobile has been the epitome of customer friendly. Evidence of this is that T-Mobile actively courts fringe benefits for its customers, and free MLBTV is the best of them. I am a baseball fan, and go to, or watch, most Tampa Bay Rays games. The out of market MLBTV plan is perfect for fans like me; but it costs $150 a year. But, T-Mobile offers it free to its customers, if you sign up this week. So, if you are a T-Mobile customer, don't delay. You have a limited time to claim the benefit, and you will be able to watch all out of market games this year, plus a lot more. Thanks, T-Mobile. You had me at great service at a great price. But, MlBTV for free is the icing on the cake.
