I used to see my parents once a year during Christmas. My dad invited me to spend a few days in his little house up in the hills behind Malibu. Which means "bad place" in the tongue of the Native Americans that once lived there. His house was one of five that were on Sandstone Ranch, once famous as an anything goes sex club. He moved in two or three years after the partying ended. And this is in aid of? Waffles, Sunday morning. Dot dot dot.

It's Monday. Not again?! Homage to Dr Martin Luther King Jr, this makes it a better Monday than usual. Must all of our heroes be dead? Not if you're a small hero!

[cloasters]

How small? Are we referencing the world of nano here? Being the hero of your own life is plenty good enough.

As 24, the tv show has cannabilized its own previous scripts, it's time to pull the plug. Jack Bauer as Superman is too far beyond belief, he's a ridiculous character. Yo, producers, why waste effort on another year's episodes? When the WGA ends its strike, put them to work on something new.

I confess, I bought Season Five recently. I'm down to the last episode, the weasel mister president is about to be exposed and jailed. If only life would imitate art once in a while.

My dad's house burned down in a Topanga/Malibu fire a few years before maniacs began setting that area ablaze with some regularity. He lost just about everything, including the Rolex watch that I'd hoped to inherit. There was a smoke smudge that portrayed a demon on one side of the refrigerator. He and his wife said that it wasn't visible--until the pictures that they took of the aftermath of were developed. One scary face, no kidding.

Late at night while my father's house was sill there, the loudest sound heard was the rushing of blood in your ears. Pretty quiet for the LA area! Why this detour down memory lane? You'll understand when your parents are gone.

all rivers flow to the sea
how can it be bad if we go there
you and me?

[cloasters]

In due time, I'll join the parents in the great beyond. Or maybe it's The Great Beyond? Doubt it!
It's February so it's finally steak month, on me of course. What say you, oh sagacious one? I'll PM you.

We could have a vegan feast if Patti is being virtuous, but she'll have to choose a restaurant!

[cloasters]

OTOH, fasting is said to be virtuous. Typing that makes me hungry.

The WGA writer's strike. Tell me about it!

[cloasters]

Or don't. It's up to you, dear reader.
