I am here.
As Max Smart once said to Agent 99, I’m not saying that the rest of the world isn’t lost.
Here’s hoping that the latest Examiner temporal anomalies article, The Lake House part 14: real estate, drums up a bit of interest; I could use the extra pennies.
Otherwise, not much has changed since Monday.
I frequently remember a bit by a comedian who had a list of things we don’t need. Some of those things we don’t have anymore, but they’re still funny. What I recall of the list went something like this:
- We don’t need a list of things we don’t need. Enough said about that.
- We don’t need soda that’s ten percent fruit juice. If we want fruit juice, we can buy fruit juice.
- We don’t need the news at four, five, six, seven, and eleven. It’s the same news. Ever notice that? “What have you got coming up at six, Bill?” “Pretty much the same stuff you had at five, Bob; it’s only been an hour.”
- We don’t need the view of the game from the blimp. If we wanted to see the game from that far away, we would have gone to the game.
Anyway, I remember it from time to time, particularly when I encounter something we don’t need. In this case, it hardly seems necessary for me to tell you on Thursday that I’m working on all the same projects I mentioned on Monday. But I am, and I’m making progress. When it’s visible, I’ll show it to you.
