    I always enjoy that tune.

    The Art of Social Kissing.

    Yeah. About as much of a chance of that happening from a kiss on the cheek as getting an STD from a toilet seat.

    The Art of Social Kissing.

    Doesn't bother me one way or the other, really. I have a European, "when in Rome" attitude about the whole thing. I prefer a firm handshake from another man, but if a lady wants to kiss my cheek I'm more amused than intimidated. Heck, I've had women who are complete strangers come up to me and...

    What are you listening to?

    "Well, now, I wouldn't say that..." But I was listening to another Gildersleeve broadcast, and got to thinking about the actor who portrayed Leroy (he later did the voice of pet boy, Sherman, in the Mr. Peabody cartoons), Walter Tetley. I read a disturbing account, attributed to Bill Scott...

    What are you listening to?

    Hee hee. I'm chuckling, thinking about the time I was with a group after a Bible study, and picked up a guitar and started singing. They thought my words would be "In The Sweet Bye and Bye:" the jaws dropped as "The Preacher and the Slave" came out.

    Why were the 70s such a tacky decade?

    I am reminded of my favorite Steinbeck quote: “Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” It's tragic in my mind that so many are duped into placing their resources, including their...

    BTW, Lizzie, I note your new end tag, from "Solidarity Forever." They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn, But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn. We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn That the union makes us strong...

    What are you listening to?

    And yet, for some reason, I enjoy the Great Gildersleeve, a spinoff series. Maybe it's the way he cackles, "Oh, Leroy..." I have a few friends with that name, and I like to adopt the voice in addressing them on occasion.

    What are you listening to?

    Listened to some Fibber McGee and Molly broadcasts from 1940 today. My honest opinion: they weren't all that funny.

    Why were the 70s such a tacky decade?

    Couldn't agree more. The former was a violence fixated drunk, and the latter..... well, she was never "the Queen of Comedy" as far as I was concerned. Her schtick was too in-yer-face. Tracy Ulmann is a lot funnier.

    Inside a real WWII U-Boat!

    Been to the U-995 at Laboe. Its interior was redone for the Norwegian navy and thus is more typical of the 1950's Cold War era than the Second World War. She has two large holes cut into her hull to accommodate tourists. She sits right on a beach of the Baltic, exposed to the elements and the...

    Just when you think you'd heard the worst of it ...

    I do love it how that gutsy little former artillery captain took the great general to the woodshed.

    Just when you think you'd heard the worst of it ...

    "Five were sentenced to death, four received life prison terms and the rest received shorter sentences. Two years later, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the military governor of Japan, commuted all the death sentences and reduced most of the prison terms. By 1958, every one of the people involved in...

    Why were the 70s such a tacky decade?

    Dahl's wife, Janet, was a law school classmate of mine. Excellent student. Very bright and hard working. A few years out of school, I had a particularly rough but rewarding day at trial. I was driving home exhausted but satisfied, and Dahl was talking on the phone to his oldest son Patrick...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Woman in Gold. Enjoyed it immensely..... but I'm a sucker for films about young, idealistic lawyers.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Didn't own my first car until I was 28 and well over a year out of law school. Rode an awful lot of city buses and subways before that, so that when I finally bought my first car (an 1 year old Ford that I affectionately dubbed, Das Boot: it was owned by a little young internal medicine resident...

    Favorite Composer

    Mozart. No one else even comes close. I love the subtlety, the grace, and the mathematical symmetry of his music.

    Did you attend a college or university?

    And there are those who have unlimited financial resources to whom life's essence is nothing more than the acquisition of the next toy. Poor bastards, indeed.

    Did you attend a college or university?

    That he does. But, no board cert.
