Night Snow
Looks like we have about 4 of our predicted 6 inches of snow and it’s still falling. But we have a nice fire going and Lucy and Ripley are snoozed out. Barb made a big pot of chilli and all is right with the world.
Where we live there’s no traffic sounds or city lights and nights like this are peaceful and beautiful. I couldn’t resist sharing a minute with you. If you listen closely you can hear the wind chimes just a couple of feet from where I was standing.
Lucy and Ripley enjoy the snow
Our two Golden Retrievers love the snow. Lucy, the younger dog, cannot contain her excitement .
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Long-time readers might recall I’m fond of Frank Capra’s Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. It makes me nostalgic for a time and a government that probably never existed. Usually leaves me depressed because it reminds me how venal our real-life congressmen are. I’ve posted clips from the movie going back years and decided to put them all in one post. Just watch the movie.
Rick & Ryan’s All Geek Marching Band
I’m hanging out in our new sports operations center and hear the haunting sounds of someone playing the mouth trumpet. I was surprised and delighted to discover our own Ryan Kormann riffing away. About this time, Rick Kennedy steps out of his studio to join in with Musical Hands. He insisted that he wasn’t warmed up and was a little nervous, but his musical gift was obvious.

Concrete TV
“Concrete Ron describes himself as “perhaps the greatest video editor of all time”, and anyone who’s ever caught Concrete TV on Manhattan public access television over the last decade or so probably wouldn’t argue: a typical episode incorporates vintage porn movies, 80s aerobics videos, car crash footage, Hong Kong shoot-em-ups, old commercials, beefcake reels, pro wrestling smackdowns, cheesy B-movie moments, sex education films, random explosions, wet t-shirt contests, and plenty of “raw emotion, euphoria, physical collision, glee, fantasy, despair, and discomfort” in one noisy, violent, sexy, and brilliantly edited pop culture/infoporn mashup.”
Lucy: 13 weeks
Beautiful spring day. Barb’s 500 tulips are up and looking fine. Lucy and Ripley are old buddies now and play together just fine. Everything is a game to a Golden Retriever puppy, including a drink of water.
