What? You thought I was going to tell you?
As Tweety Bird used to opine...
As part of her birthday celebration we enjoyed dinner at the Irish pub...
...a good time was had by all.
How could it not be?
One of the writers is a guy named Babaloo Mandel...
In City Slickers, our hero - Billy Crystal - is turning 39...and as he says to his boss:
"Did you ever reach a point in your life where you say, this is the best I'm ever gonna look, the best I'm ever gonna feel, the best I'm ever gonna do...and it ain't that great?"
To which his boss responds, "Happy birthday".
It's a wonderful movie, filled with dozens of hilarious one liners as well as poignant moments of people dealing with real life and the challenges of relationships.
And that great character actor, Volodymyr Palahniuk...

Do yourself a favor and watch this classic from 1991...even if it's not your birthday...
Making pretty good progress on Chrysalis...
Plus I've got my ending now...at least that's what I'm telling myself...feels like it fits, but we'll see when I get there...sometimes a "great" idea loses its luster upon closer examination.
More to come...
And if something's going to make a comeback, how about Spring instead?
I suppose I ought to mention there's a convention of millionaires this weekend being held in one of the southern states.
Their confab won't solve any of the country's manifold problems, won't advance solutions to thorny issues like homelessness, the opioid crisis, wage stagnation for blue collar workers, the looming potential of a world wide pandemic that is the coronavirus outbreak...
When it's over, the winners will then opine publicly about whether they should condescend to meet with the most powerful man in the western world, and a sycophantic press will megaphone their every incoherent, grammatically incorrect thought, no matter how mundane or trite.
Ah, the Super Bowl...from its humble beginnings in 1966, when the greatest quarterback of the era was paid the whopping sum of $100,000...
I enjoy both reading and writing fiction, but alas, I cannot relate to fantasy in this appalling proportion, so I shan't be watching this overhyped trifle.
It's akin to finding a child's plaything in the corner and then building a cathedral around it so it can be worshipped...
I have heard some of the commercials are mildly amusing.
On the other hand, if the Detroit Lions were playing...
later, mcm fans...
