Good news, bad news I was concerned when the first images showed him in a center creased fedora with the brim snapped down in front. Who put that on his head? Now, I think a fedora is a fine hat, one that can be worn any day -- but for a senator at an inauguration? A homburg, or a bowler, a...

Keven You know, they asked me to participate and I don't know anything about the project .... They wanted the piece by the end of the month, so I hope to get more information then. In the meantime, you asked for a link (see below). I need to get a better site/display for stuff. Oh, finding the...

DSM-IV, 314.01 Here is the full length picture.

There is a small local art project going on where each of the artists is given an old wooden chair and asked to 'do their thing with it' for submission to the project. Here is my chair:

Okay, I am a movie buff. Will watch anything. And loyal to Clint Eastwood. But Gran Torino - Who wrote that dialogue? There was only one actor who could deliver lines, Barber Martin played by John Carroll Lynch. Really, the other performances seemed like total amateurs. The performances were so...

Make Love ....for example, Eve says "I never make love on an empty stomach." but the censors had them dub in "discuss" instead of "make" so the line becomes "I never discuss love on an empty stomach." You can see the momentary lack of synch if you watch carefully.

North by Northwest Actually the dialogue in the train scene was, during production, a little more suggestive but was 'modified' in the final editing. We have, as is so often the case, been 'protected' by the censors.

Ahh, the beard. When I was doing the "yuppie path to partner" 25-30 years ago, I sported a trimmmed beard. During a business lunch, our "senior partner" decided to give me some crap about the beard in the presence of a client. So I said, "I look at it like pubic hair. It's serves no real...

Central Vac I have a "70's" home with a powerful central vac (that I do not use). I plan to remove the unit (just taking up space). The grandkids get a kick out of the wall ports (they push the button, etc - haven't lost a kid yet).

Ahh, the stove The stove is currently, "in inventory" awaiting some inspiration from my muse. The thing about working with a good muse is not to ask here where she has been, and when she will be back. I just try to be responsive when she comes around and wants to work. (smile). Take care, Gary.

Firestone Rocket, test flight ...and here we are, out there.

Firestone Rocket after restoration Here is the vac now. I have added wands to the sides to in lieu of missing trim pieces.

Here is a Vac that was dropped by. It is branded Firestone. Note missing side trim.

"Good Food" It seems like what is being described here as "good" food is what, in some contexts, people refer to as "comfort food." Woolworth's was never a place to get a good, balanced meal - but that's not the point. Kids (and adults) are not obese because of fast food. They are obese...

RIPped Meow In 2002, I tried some video/effects editing. I used one of Eartha's meows in the sound track. The link is to an mpg video about 6 seconds long. I replaced my teeth/mouth with those of a neighbor cat. http://www.goodfirm.com/movies/markmeow.mpg

I just stepped outside and took this image of our house. I made the cactus from rebar.

Starting in 1992, I wrote an annual, off-beat, dark, Santa Story for 10 years. Each story is about a page long. I packaged them in a pdf. If you would like to see some jaws drop at a holiday gathering, print them off and sit down with slippers and a pipe. I am guessing you will like at least one...

Research/bump ...aahhhhh yes, "bump" - I did some search on web etiquette and that seems to be the standard term. I also read a post about how it may be improper for the, the, _______________ [the person who started the thread] to "bump" his own thread back up. Makes sense to me (smile). Y'all...

Quick Question On another site (from which I received the hobo ejectus), there was a term for pumping a thread back up -- but I can't remember it. I think it was a techie type term - but don't know. ???

tis the time of year when we hear from our troops abroad. This 11 second greeting is from 'out there'
