My
Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
A
typical fall day.
AZ
is still working on our Gov results. I remember growing up and hearing about countries
that had elections and the voters didn’t hear for days or weeks the outcome. I
thought it was crazy then, and I know it is crazy now.
President
Biden was busy at the Climate Conference and how is off to meet with Pres. Xi
of China. Good luck.
Broncos
play today. Cards play today. I’ll see what happens.
Getting
more excited about my Thanksgiving trip to Mexico.

"Electric
Worm" by Beastie
Boys (2007)
One
underappreciated aspect of the Beastie Boys' career was that it never stopped
evolving. The band's knack for conceptualism was remarkable, not just because
they started as a pure rap act ahead of its time. "Electric Worm" is
a perfect example of the Boys' maturity and ultimate evolution as musicians,
creators, and performers.

Birthdays
Today
@94 – Sherwood
Schwartz, American screenwriter, producer (d. 2011)
“When you say the name Gilligan, you know who that is. If a show is
good, if it’s written well, you should be able to erase the names of the
characters saying the lines and still be able to know who said it. If you can’t
do that, the show will fail.”…
“If you study both ‘Gilligan’ and ‘Brady,’ you will see they are
based on a similar philosophy: that it’s possible for different kinds of people
to learn to live together, either in a family or stuck on an island with no
escape.”– Sherwood Schwartz
