    Do You Stick to One Decade?

    I once-when on campus-preferred tweed and traditional dress including pocket watch, Chinese gold chain with my Kappa key dangling next to a Field Artillery School gold and red shield. Sino silk bow ties would have been a sartorial fixture, alas I am not a bow-ery boy and wore the typical...

    Do You Stick to One Decade?

    Eclectic sartorial general practioner. Like music, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Schubert, and Imelda May. Go with the flow. If it feels right wear it. :):cool:

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    A 'prequel-to-sequel' can be discerned when the end isn't but the beginning. And classic remakes often are old hat inferior product; adding nothing to the core but contrived second-rate antics. I was taking the train home one evening and sitting with a federal judge whom had flown helicopters...

    You know you are getting old when:

    I first 'retired' from the U.S. Army at twenty; chased waves and wahinies at Kaneohe, Oahu; came back mainland for Vietnam's GI Bill college and law school, now putting retirement papers in order though I have mixed feelings about leaving. A gal pal called last nite to confirm the rumor and the...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    A flashlight refector conic can also be used to reflect sunlight to start a campfire, or signal enemy Zeroes for a little friendly straffe. She's a cutie pie golden drop of sunshine. Burma the babe and HuShee, a priceless beyond rubies treasure need appear. This strip is beginning to look like...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I have missed Ms Netrebko's last two appearances here. Katherine Jenkins is the most exquisite lady. She sang Requiem for a Soldier and completely won me.:)

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Convoy losses are indeed tragic. Spam is good day or nite. In Hawaii on guard spam sandwiches together wth a hot Idaho white spud 'golf ball' and coffee bring fond recollection. All that was missing were lovely wahinies.;):D:cool:

    What Are You Reading

    What Happened, Hillary Rodham Clinton Plucked this tome at random. A spied evocative epistle ghosted no doubt, but vae victus veritas. Have Celine's Death sitting bed stand, remember a long undergrad weekend reading this with Baldwin's Giovanni's Room. Celine, and Foucault, to some extent even...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Nutcracker, Swan Lake- all Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Prokofieff are tremendously satisfying. I have an admitted weakness for Pucinni. The Auditorium Theatre here in Chicago has a mecurial caprice regarding Tchaikovsky. And The Nutcracker is a staple town favorite. A slim Anna Netrebko singing...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    ^A wounded bank robber I would imagine to be more concerned with wound care management than makeup; all the more so when hiding inside a barn where bacterial infection lurks...script doctors no doubt addressed this matter.;)

    If Margo is in it, it's wonderful. :p:p:D;):):D:D:D

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A Piece of Cake is based on Derek Robinson's novel by the same title. Dovetail nice fit with flick and even better if you've been away for a few years.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Mary Poppins Long time ago, the mail chopper brought the Julie Andrews film up. Only I and our tomcat detachment mascot Motherfu...r knew this, so I told everbody we got a definite R bordering on X, like just the Rio Grande a mere ribbon river separating this bad boy flick. Spread like...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Conductor Fritz Reiner's baton lead of Beethoven, Haden, Shostakovich at the NY Symphony, with 'Kiss-and-Tell' star gal Ms Mulhberg as my date would be a pleasant diversion. War production bottlenecks would prove interesting study for college biz kids. I'd assign one hundred page plus papers to...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Dragon Lady's oratory is self serving. And false. The war puts her between Chaing and Mao, but her objective is personal profit. She holds an inside strait awaiting a third adversary, Uncle Sam; while the Imperial Japanese Army is an occupation force whose defeat is a foregone conclusion.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Oriental condescension against Occidental naivete, especially American. But the Middle Kingdom itself did not origin astronomy to challenge Copernicus or Galilleo, Hippocrathenes of Greece and later John Harrison, an Englishman found longitude and latitude. Neither formula nor theorem birthed in...

    HuShee-and-Burma. And Dragon Gal. Definitely need more adultery in the strip.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Pat and Normandie engaged in what is legally classed as 'Criminal Conversation,' which resulted in pregnancy. Sandhurst is a louse, Caniff drawing liberally from Eliot, Bronte, Dickens. Love Caniff's wide range free wheeling plagarist style. The time is soon for some semblance of realism...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Moscow will strike a hammer down on Kiev, a limited anvil hit for Ukraine, which encompasses too much ground. A constricted perimiter; Katyn cruelty within. The Soviet (Russian)Army likes it heavy. Armor, artillery barrage, mass infantry. Concentration of force, mass, speed. And all those brave...
