I like a cold house. But I had to close one of the few open windows this morning...it was just too cold.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ted Williams' Severed Head Abused In Cryonics Facility: Former Exec
NEW YORK — The New York Daily News is reporting that Red Sox Hall of Famer Ted Williams' severed head was mistreated at an Arizona cryonics facility, according to details from a new book.
In "Frozen," Larry Johnson, a former executive at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., writes that Williams' head, which had been severed and frozen for storage, was abused at the facility. Johnson claims a technician took baseball-like swings at Williams' frozen head with a monkey wrench.
Williams, the last player to hit over .400 in a season, died in 2002 at age 83 and had his remains sent to Alcor for cryogenic storage in the hope that future generations would develop the technology to revive him.

Remember Rukhsana Kausar, who attack an intruder with an ax and then shot him with his own AK-47?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
re Letterman: Gavin de Becker(who likes carrots) does say that if a blackmailer says "I'll tell your wife," the smart thing to do is say "Ok, I'll get her right now." Because then they don't have power over you anymore.(and mostly they are gutless and greedy and have no intention of saying anything.)

For some reason, I'm now earwormed with "Major Tom" (Schilling not Bowie).

Now tagless for your comfort.
Owen is home sick--congested and miserable. We dropped Liv off at school and had to run by the eye doctor's to get his glasses adjusted (for the tenth time). As we're riding the elevators up, he looks up at an elderly couple sharing the ride and says, "Are you old?"
They got a good laugh but man, I'm living with Mr. Obvious and it's sometimes embarrassing.

Normally, my Franco-Polish heritage means I resist all things German, but I adored that whole wave of German to English pop in the early 80s, from "Da Da Da" to Rock Me Amadeus."
