One more before the road

Will be traveling (with the family, thank goodness) out-of-state for the next few days. So, this entry will have to suffice for the next few days.

Undoubtedly Geoana will want to bring along her two Barbie dolls together with the singular Ken (now that's a fortunate plastic guy!). It's actually a Prince Ken to go along with Cinderella Barbie. Since his trousers are currently amongst a large pile of other toy remnants, he resembles an 18th century version of Zapp Branigan.

Caught the spectre of Steve Philips masquerading as the Yankees' general manager in a "fake" news conference this morning on ESPN. I was silent. Maybe even stunned.

Makes me remember when the show "Blues Clues," a favorite of Geoana, made a change to their format and created a segment of the show called "Blue's Room" in which the previously animated and barking Blue changed into a puppet and could speak English. When Geogal first saw it, she was eerily silent. I asked what was going on. She replied "I just don't know what to say." We both agreed that "Blues Clues" had jumped the shark at that point.

I'll ditto that for ESPN's latest lame attempt at entertainment.
