  13. here she writes of the recent death of bob brookmeyer....... carol sloane blog A Highly Personal Recollection With the sad news of the death of Bob Brookmeyer, vivid memories of our occasionally turbulent relationship flooded my thoughts. We met in 1961 when he and several other prominent jazz musicians were members of the band playing Bill Finegan arrangements for my first album on the Columbia Records label. Although Bob did eventually achieve sobriety, he was then drinking heavily, and he could be short-tempered and petulant when just moments before he'd been wise and funny and keenly observant. He often appeared at The Half Note, a club on the lower West Side of Manhattan with his co-leader Clark Terry. Some of us fondly called them "Mumbles and Grumbles". Our friendship grew and eventually Bob, a passionate football fan at the time, became my personal tutor, patiently explaining some of the more complex and intricate components and strategies. Years later he told me how he tested my "girl-friend worthiness" by asking that I accompany him to Sheep Meadow in Central Park one very early Sunday morning. A few musicians gathered there for spirited collisions called touch football. I agreed to act as cheerleader, fetcher of hot cocoa and BandAid supplier. The predictable muscle aches/pains/scrapes ensued, leading to post-game therapy: submersion in a sudsy hot bath. He liked to soak while watching the Giants on a black-and-white portable tv in addition to the sound of a Jets' radio broadcast, cigarettes and beverage of choice within easy reach.

  15. did you ever believe in anything so strongly and know you are right, but the world and the system, and the masses say you are a fool? Actually, yes. I am a Christian. (1 Cor. 1:18) although at this point in my life i'm not a believer, i'm most empathetic to the 'outcast' plight of my christian friends.
  16. by coincidence, i've watched a string of 4 or 5 movies in the past week where the leading male role happens to be gay, this one included.
  17. ode to aaron rogers-- those weeks off dun' done the green and gold wrong.
  18. indeed, the rich clubs have caught on--the cubbies are just being indoctrinated in it by theo epstein. i enjoy viewing sports, but only on a personal level. sports crowds and sports bars are ugly. i cannot abide them.
  19. did you ever believe in anything so strongly and know you are right, but the world and the system, and the masses say you are a fool? if you love baseball, or new ways of thinking, or kids, or brad pitt, or just darn fine movies this close to real life adaptation of the book will spellbind and delight you. brad pitt put hs considerable soul into this movie and his listed as a co-producer. the movie is about billy beane, once a promising baseball player, then and now, general manager of baseball's oakland athletics, who believes that intense statistical evaluation of baseball player would be much more effective than the current way of wildly expensive scouting hits and misses. most small market teams had to find alternative, less expensive methods of scouting and roster building. sabermetrics proved beane's and the small market teams' salvation. the indians mark shapiro plays himself in a cameo role. peter brand (jonah hill) a sports statistics nerd from cornell university, lurking unknown in the lower management levels of the cleveland indians, becomes his advisor, buddy, and right hand man. there are many story lines from the season which ended with a playoff loss, we all watch hundreds of movies. most are forgotten the next day. moneyball will stay with you. this was just released to dvd january 10 of this year. <a href=" http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/?action=view&amp;current=brad-pitt-moneyball.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/th_brad-pitt-moneyball.jpg" border="0" alt="" ></a> <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/?action=view&amp;current=jeffisgr8t-7181954.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/th_jeffisgr8t-7181954.jpg" border="0" alt="" ></a> <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/?action=view&amp;current=stock-photo-money-ball-abstract-from-photographed-dollar-57982933.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/th_stock-photo-money-ball-abstract-from-photographed-dollar-57982933.jpg" border="0" alt="" ></a>
  20. you do believe in miracles, if you play the lottery. recently reading that the price of powerball tickets will shortly increase, i thought, why did it take them so long to raise prices. for a long time, i've thought that the various lotteries are mainly a tax on poor people. is there anything sadder than walking into a convenience store and find folks sometimes buying and buying and buying tickets. lottery managers want poor people thinking they'll be rich overnight. the odds are that they may win 40% back, until they use the winnings to buy more tickets. what's 40% of 40%? being rich without the ability to manage it is pretty much like being poor. many who win big quickly just as suddenly lose it. i think of lottery salesmenm the same way as i do bartenders offering an alcoholic another drink. just between you and i me, the lottery folks want people addicted to gambling. they are actually selling snake oil. healthy folks don't need snake oil sick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyojoGHtmGs

  22. hey, that's one way to get a jazz audience. http://news.yahoo.com/maine-man-guilty-arson-topless-coffee-shop-235753940.html AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A man blamed for a fire that destroyed acoffee shop where topless waitresses worked has been found guilty of arson. A jury convicted Raymond Bellavance Jr. on Friday after deliberating for four hours. Prosecutors said "anger and jealousy" caused Bellavance to set fire to the coffee shop, where his ex-girlfriend worked as a waitress.Deputy District Attorney Alan Kelley told jurors Bellavance was "a volatile man" who was quick to anger because his former girlfriend was having a relationship with the shop's owner, the Bangor Daily News reported. The Grand View Coffee Shop in Vassalboro, a town of about 4,000 residents just north of the state capital, Augusta, burned down June 3, 2009. The defense insisted Bellavance didn't do it. Bellavance testified he wasn't jealous. He said other people, including a man who testified he helped set the fire, were lying. A witness who recently finished a drug rehabilitation program testified last week that he was present when Bellavance poured and ignited gasoline behind the coffee shop in the early morning hours. Thomas Mulkern said Bellavance then became upset, telling him they could get life in prison because there were people inside the adjoining apartments. Coffee shop owner Donald Crabtree and six other people, including two infants, were sleeping in a room connected to the shop. All escaped without injury. ___ Information from: Bangor Daily News, http://www.bangordailynews.com
  23. as a warm late december mist pesters them, newly uncaged chattering umbrellaed office workers, exchanging parting thoughts and wishes, leave their year's work and a desolate downtown in their wake. joachim kuhn dark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLBiyBCjpTw
  24. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Retired-linebacker-8217-s-wife-dies-one-month-a?urn=nfl-wp14892 One month after getting married, former NFL linebacker Chris Draft lost his wife today after a long bout with lung cancer. She was so weakened by the disease that she was in a wheelchair for the private wedding, just one month before she died. Draft, who played most of his 12-year career in Atlanta, released a statement on his wife on their family foundation website. Not just an inspiration, but a light, and a force that led the way with a beautiful, sweet smile and bright shining eyes that both belied the pure steel of her strength and determination. Strong is too pale, too shallow and too small of a word to describe Keasha's vibrancy… Quite simply, she was ferocious. She fiercely held onto life, and love with a forcefulness that was absolutely awe-inspiring and completely breathtaking. Rest in peace, Mrs. Draft. Twitter was flooded with people moved by the Draft's love story. Hip hop mogul Russell Simmons shared his condolences via Twitter, and a guestbook commemorating her quickly was filled with messages of support to the Draft family.
