On The TeeVee

Word on the street is that CBS is considering production of a new version of their 1987-1992 series Jake and The Fatman.  They expect Trump to be available after the Republicans take the nomination away from him at the Cleveland convention.  And there’s rumblings about impeaching Christie because he’s been a no show in Jersey.  The current working title is Flake and The Sad, Fat Man.

As many of you are aware, there are several celebrations nationally for the tenth anniversary of my blog today.  I am humbled by this, but I eschew the spotlight, preferring to focus on the work itself.

When I kicked this thing off, we had an overgrown frat boy running the country.  Today, we have a bilious yam-faced grifter leading the Republican race.  It’s Super Tuesday and sanity is bringing up the rear.

I’d also like to give a shout out to a couple from the FC crew.  The Execs are celebrating their 30^th anniversary today.  They got hitched in Minneapolis but have been enjoying CA weather for many years.  Later this month my wife and I will celebrate our 28^th.

In other FC news, the #1s just got back from a Disney Orlando trip.  I know because I drove them to and from SFO.  I’d like this well documented.  #1 owes me.  He only picked me up from my recent trip.

I was in Safeway a few weeks ago to get some wine. I got carded.  I looked at the kid and he said "Sorry, it’s my first day".  I was too stunned to crack wise. I remember about 30 years ago I was buying some beer in SF.  The guys asks for ID.  I said, "I'm almost 30".  He said  "Congratulations, show me your ID”.

We caught a little of the Oscars Sunday.  I was wondering how that retread Mad Max kept winning.  I went to bed before the end but woke up Monday morning and checked to make sure it did not get best pic.

Here’s an end of post quiz.  Name this band.

Right, Ten Years After
