I like to watch TV with my neighbors. They have cable and a big screen TV, and I have binoculars.

Thanks, Larry! For all the references I've seen to trad jazz, I gather that it was a bigger deal in England than in the US. Is that right?

I come from a small town whose population never changes. Each time a woman gets pregnant, someone leaves town.

Bill, et al., can you please name some American musicians who were called trad? In the '60s I heard the term "progressive jazz" quite a bit. It was only later that I saw it linked primarily to Kenton.

Who or what is Cardinal Spelling? I remember Cardinal Spellman of New York.

Should I know who the last two are?

I finally have a dental plan. I chew on the other side.

I go running when I have to. When the ice cream truck is doing forty.

Bertrand, it is silver, and does not appear to be a CD-R to me. Is there a way to tell other than the color? Perhaps I should not have said that all the rock songs were hits. But I was familiar with most of the artists.

This was my first Ponty album, and still my favorite.

Did you hear about the Newfie who was killed while ice fishing? He got run over by the zamboni.

When I was a boy I only had two friends, and they were imaginary. And they would only play with each other.

I went on a date recently, and I took her horseback riding. That was kind of fun until I ran out of quarters.

I saw yesterday that the Yankees will retire Paul O'Neill's number. Was he that good? https://nypost.com/2022/02/23/paul-oneill-stunned-yankees-are-retiring-his-number/

I wouldn't mind paying taxes, if I knew they were going to a friendly country.

When a cop arrests a mime, does he tell him he has the right to remain silent?

Having children gives your life purpose. Right now, my purpose is to get some sleep.

At 10:22 this evening, it will be 22:22 on 2/22/22. ***** Let's revisit the league's list of free agent signings. I like it because it is up to date, and because it lists whom the teams lost as well as those they gained. https://www.cfl.ca/2022/02/08/sudden-impact-team-team-look-free-agency-5/ More on this later.

In this country, you're guilty until proven wealthy.

Maybe just once someone will call me "sir" without adding "you're making a scene."

A hooker told me she would do anything for $50. I said, "Paint my house."
