Peanut Butter Cookies

    Hey, everyone. I hope y'all are doing well. I've been real busy, typing a manuscript for the sequel to KGB Retirement Program. It will still be a couple of weeks before I can get it on Smashwords. It has been a struggle. I still have to edit, make quite a few changes, then submit it for their approval. It is typed, at least.
     Well, it looks like the Packers and Steelers are in the Super Bowl. I hope the Packers win it for the simple reason that they haven't won it in a while. I'm not particularly fond of either team. I really respect the way that Aaron Rogers has kept his mouth shut through all the Bret Favre situation. Seems to be a class guy. It seems funny that I started the season thinking that Bret and the Vikings would win a ring. Now Rogers gets the glory year and Bret is back on his tractor. Just before I wrote this I saw on Google News that Jeff Fisher and the Titans had parted ways. Good coach. I think the Titans have made a mistake. It's a bummer that all the coaching vacancies are filled before Fisher 'gets the gate'. Still, I can't see him being out of work very long.
      I'm hoping to get out and go to a movie this weekend. I'm torn between several choices. Green Hornet, No Strings Attached and The Mechanic. I also wouldn't mind seeing the Vince Vaughn flick, The Dilemma.
     I bet a few of you are old enough to remember Charles Bronson as The Mechanic. Yes, that's right, it's a remake. All you Net-Flix devotees try the original this weekend. When I was pretty young(1972) this movie was considered monstrously cool. Mostly because of the neat ending but also because being a hit-man seemed like a really cool line of work. Are teenage guys hopelessly naive or what? Of course, today I look back... and I still think being a hit-man would be a cool line of work. Ah, maturity!
      I went on you-tube tonight and saw a clip of the new 'buzz' game for I-Pad. Its called Dead Space. I think it's like your character is in a horror movie. It's that realistic and has some creepy music too. My problem is, I can't dig all the blood on this game. (Major drawback to being a Mechanic). I devote a lot of care to stay away from seeing a lot of blood and guts. I don't intend to pay someone $9.99 to see it. The graphics are terrific, on a par with Infinity Blade.
     Guess what I'm eating as I type this? I'm having Cheddar and Sour Creme potato chips, homemade peanut butter cookies and champagne. Weird for the middle of the night, I know. Hey, when you're old, you can do what you please. Goodnight to you, as I enjoy the breakfast of champions.

It's So Easy

     Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it.      For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?"     "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...

Movie Review: Limitless

    Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality.      Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment.     Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...
