I Worry


What if Bush knows something the general public doesn’t and spending billions on a war instead of the technology to run engines on hydrogen that emit only water is somehow preventing Armageddon by keeping the mideast economy from collapsing because we no longer need their oil? Why doesn’t Al Gore know? What if Bush started Armeggeddon?

FW: You have new Picture Mail!

Ayden and his new brother

Cosmo, Jerry, Jesse, Dharma, & Greg


So, Jesse Jackson wants people to boycott Seinfeld DVDs.
Does anyone remember the episode of Dharma and Greg where they need to have sex outside to win the duck back from Jane? They think it will be safe to do it during the premier airing of the last episode of Seinfeld. Their plan is foiled by a black man. As a rule, people of African descent have no interest in Seinfeld anyway. Not sure Jerry or Richard will feel the boycott.

You are henceforth and forever outcast!


Did you know there was a Des Moines connection to this ubiquitous 70s Richard Bach book?


The New York Times, July 3, 1974 Des Moines, Iowa, July 2 - John H. Livingston, the man who inspired the best-selling novel "Jonathan Livingston Seagull," died Sunday at the Pompano Beach (Fla.) airport soon after completing his last plane ride. Richard D. Bach, a former Iowa Air Guard pilot, has said his best-selling book about a free-wheeling seagull was inspired by Mr. Livingston. Johnny Livingston, as he was known, moved many years ago from Iowa to Florida. He was one of the country's top pilots during the barnstorming days of the nineteen-twenties and thirties. From 1928 through 1933, Mr. Livingston won 79 first places, 43 seconds and 15 thirds in 139 races throughout the country, many of them at Cleveland. He won first place and $13,910 in 1928 in a cross-country race from New York to Los Angeles. Mr. Livingston leaves his wife, Wavelle, two brothers and four sisters.

I loved that book so much in third grade that my teacher (Mrs. Grundemeyer) let me read it out loud to the class during story time. Third grade! I vividly remember going to our little single screen theater to see the movie alone.

Rascal Video's Tyler Riggs on The Saddle stage last Friday


Not much of a dancer, however.
