I have been buying CDs since the 1980s and spend anywhere from $14 to $20 on each one. Now they are only worth $2 a piece. Not exactly a smart money investment.

But I didn’t mind investing in the music itself. At least the artists and the songwriters got some money from me.

Her hair has always been long and crazy wild, dyed, over styled and kinky. She is getting pudgy, if not outright fat. Her face is bland and if she didn’t wear makeup she would be homely. Her voice is scratchy and not a wide range.

None of these things make her sexy or star material. But somehow when you put it all together and watch her videos, she comes across as incredibly hot, especially if you are into cougars.

But we are not related and its not my problem. I can go to the wedding because I had enough notice to be able to plan ahead for it.

Our friend, Wesley, wants to throw a bachelor party for him next Friday night. Again, with Christmas right around the corner, getting people together for a bachelor party has been tough. a lot of people have company Christmas parties they have to attend, or shopping they need to finish. But we are determined to send Brad off to his wedded bliss in style.

Have to to thank my friend, Sherri, for turning me onto the BBC America cable channel and this really cool show!

We are lucky to have a good comedy club here. The club has top name comedians and entertainers every weekend. I’ve seen some great acts at Zanies, including John Pinchot and Tommy Chong. They were hilarious and I liked they way they hung around after the show and talked with people outside on the sidewalk. Good times!

I just realized that so many comics characters from the early days of comics books and animated films were targeted only to adults. The children had Disney characters eventually, but in the early days even the Disney characters were adult in nature, such as Betty Boop and Fritz the Cat.

Then when the cards are dealt, you have to decide what to bid. If you are playing a pass 2 game, you have to decide which two cards to pass to your partner. Then, as the cards get played out, you have to decide 13 times which card to play. If you are to the left of the dealer, you also have to decide which card to lead out for the first trick.

So, that adds up to 17 decisions. If you make a wrong decision on any of those, you can lose the game. I always try to make the good decisions and be ready to take advantage of the opponents when they make a mistake. That’s how I like to win games.

I say, equal time for THURSDAYS! There is nothing to do on a Thursday night- it is too early to start the weekend partying, and its the day before payday so no one has any money to spend. I say, let Thursday be the new movie night!

Sometimes I think this is my favorite holiday of the year. It’s a weird holiday though – no one gets to take the day off from work. Not even comedians.

There is a really nice one in Baltimore and I go there every couple of years to look at all the exhibits.

I hear the one near San Francisco is also very good. That’s a long way to go for an aquarium, but if I ever get the chance to go out West then I will try to get tickets to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
