It was with great sadness that I received the news of the passing of the great Ray Bradbury. He was, without a doubt, one of the most imaginative, eloquent, and interesting writers of the 20th century, and his influence has reached far and wide, and will continue to do so. I read “The Martian Chronicles” […]
After an amazing 17 inning game yesterday, the Orioles are able to boast the best record in the majors, and is the only team still in single digits in the loss column. It was a wild ride yesterday, with the winning pitcher (Chris Davis) being a 1st baseman. It was the first time since 1925 […]
Ok, so I’m not a TRUE Luddite. I embrace technology. Let’s face it–you have to. The world won’t wait for you to catch up to it. I actually like a lot of technology. That being said, I find it alarming that there have been reports of school boards who question the need of teaching penmanship […]
Broadcasters and engineers somehow manage to survive alongside each other, although they come from two different worlds. I remember when I was still in the Navy, while assigned to USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62) we had the latest Self-contained Closed-Circuit TV system in the fleet–the “Super-SITE.” I had a wonderful engineer, a Chief Petty Officer named […]
Well, the big lottery drawing has come and gone, and once again, I didn’t win. That’s OK. Someone from our state did have the winning numbers, and will split the huge jackpot with 2 others. That makes it about 213 million bucks each. Not a bad haul. I do play the lottery every week. I […]
Brahms set very high standards for himself. It was not uncommon for him to write a complete work, a string quartet, for example, only to destroy it because it felt it wasn’t up to his standards. Any other composer would have been proud to have written music that he threw away, and that, alas, we […]
I don’t like being on email “mailing lists.” You know what I mean–when you get an email, usually some old joke or a cute picture of a puppy riding an elephant or something, and the address list is about the length of a Russian novel. It’s not that I totally object to seeing pictures of […]
Once a person asked J.S. Bach how it was possible to get such sound from the organ. Bach told the person, “All one has to do is touch the right keys at the right time, and the instrument practically plays itself.” Well, I guess so! I once saw a made for tv (perhaps HBO) movie […]
We’ve had an unusually mild winter, and I don’t think too many people are complaining. Oh, every so often I hear someone say, “I really wish we had gotten a nice big snowfall.” Obviously someone who has never had to replace gutters brought down by heavy snow. I enjoy watching the local television weather forecasters. […]
Well, the primaries are in full swing, and the more intense things get, the more we hear the political invective hurled about. I’ve heard a lot of people say how nasty politicians are, and, of course, whenever that comes up, someone says something like, “It’s not like it used to be.” (See previous blog about […]
