Think I’ll head down to the library today and pick out a few good books. The weather is going to be pretty crappy these next couple of weeks. There is nothing on TV but reruns and the same old crap, so I will spend the little bit of leisure time that I have expanding my mind with literature. I used to buy books, but eventually realized that I don’t read them more than once and it is silly to buy a lot of things that just end up taking space and collecting dust. So I have a library card and try to use it a few times each year. It makes more sense.

If you ever have a bout with insomnia and need something to do, turn on CBS and watch the old reruns of the Star Trek series. What is running right now is the Star Trek – The Next Generation series, with Captain Piccard.
It is amazing to realize that this series came out over 20 years ago. Can we really be that old?

This old song from way back has been a hit for Tony Joe White for probably 30 some years. Maybe more. I think it came out in 1970 – maybe even 1969. I have a hard time placing what was going on in my life when the song came out. But I feel like I’ve heard it all my life.

Just bought the DeNiro and Pacino movie that came out on DVD called “Righteous Kill.”I always beef up my DVD collection over the summer when there’s nothing worth a hoot on TV at night.
It’s a good story line but I have to take issue with the writer giving these guys the nicknames. I don’t think every grown man needs a nickname, espcially cops. The name “Turk” and “Rooster” sound more like comedic biker names than tough guy cops.
It was written by Russell Gewirts, if you remember “Inside Man.” So I’m looking for a few more hit thrillers from this guy in the future.
