When I went to Gorrie today to talk to a man about a job that I will, seemingly, never find out more about a man who looked suspiciously like a thinner Uncle Phil approached me in the stair well. He looked at me and said, "You're gonna make it." I said thanks. I do that. Say thanks and keep moving. It has kept me from getting shived for almost twenty-one years. He kept talking though. He said, "Do...

I'm catching up with "Dangerous Catch" on the Discovery Channel, and I was surprised to see a statement from John Hendricks, the founder of Discovery Communications, regarding Uncle Walter: "There might not be Discovery Channel without Walter Cronkite.  He was one of the first to see the possibility of a 24-hour channel dedicated to high quality storytelling about the world around us.  His guidance...

Talking about "Friday the 13th" made me think about my worst moviegoing experience ever. It happened in 1985.  I was on a date.   My then-girlfriendd and I had gone to a University of Southern Indiana...anything before I started the date, so I didn't lose anything.   When the nausea had subsided, I returned to the theater.  Girlfriend said she wanted to go home.   Best news I heard all night. 

Today (which has 44 minutes left in it according to my cellphone) is Mark Spitz's birthday.  Spitz once held the record for most gold medals in one Olympics with seven--until he was beaten by Michael (Stoner  Boy) Phelps last summer. Spitz also made an appearance in the comic strip DOONESBURY, which is almost as cool as winning seven gold medals.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is having on online poll for the Greatestg Mass Media Vampire Ever: http://www.ajc.com/holiday/content/atlanta-holiday-guide/best-hollywood-vampire.html I'm upset...one of the greatest movie vampires ever. Yes, we're talking George Hamilton in "Love at First Bite." George Hamilton, sun worshipper, as Count Dracula. Whoever did the casting deserved an "Oscar.

Today is the feast of the Immaculate Conception.  It is also my older brother Jeff's 48th birthday (Happy b-day if you're reading this, bro!).  My co-worker's son turns two today, too.  It's also the 28th anniversary...(Ronald Reagan) had won.  Then Lennon was shot, then Reagan, then the Pope.  The latter two survived.  Gad I'm not sure how much of the events of that year played in my future life.  

I checked into my e-mail tonight, and I found a "MySpace" friend request from someone named Sharon.  At first, I figure it was one of those spammed request with a picture of some pyt in a bikini and...her face again.  I made friends with her and posted  a comment.  I'll try to write another message to her later.  Speaking of MySpace:  www.myspace.com/dougputhoff And yes, I am a real person.
