Ricki And The Flash — My Permanent Record
http://www.geofffox.com/MT/archives/2015/08/08/ricki-and-the-flash.php
Skip to main content. Skip to main menu. Ricki And The Flash. Cards on the table. My wife has been a big Rick Springfield fan since the 70s. I saw “ Hard to Hold. 8221; with her. I am a good husband. Rick Springfield is in another movie. Oh crap. “Hard to Hold 2? It’s a story about parents and children and the complexity of life multiplied by time. Is it ever too late to repair relationships? I have nothing bad to say. Everyone was great. Streep was greater. Oh, Meryl. Could I love you more? Weather In T...

Graphic And Disturbing — My Permanent Record
http://www.geofffox.com/MT/archives/2015/07/29/graphic-and-disturbing.php
Skip to main content. Skip to main menu. I woke up today and dialed 1202 into the cable box. Wolf Blitzer was on CNN with an advisory. The video which followed would be graphic and disturbing. They were about the play video from the Ohio police shooting. I changed the channel. I just can’t take it anymore. I don’t want to see gore. I don’t want to see violence. I’m not stupid. I know what happens when you shoot someone in the head from point blank range. Am I the only one? Showing a killing is snuff porn.

Skip to main content. Skip to main menu. Tom Brokaw’s Gander, Newfoundland 9/11 Lookback. On March 11, 2010 NBC announced this documentary would re-air. More details here. Helaine and I were watching Olympics coverage this afternoon when Tom Brokaw was brought on to introduce a feature piece about Gander, Newfoundland’s part on September 11, 2001. I already knew much of the story. Helaine hadn’t heard any of it. From Gander Airport’s website. There are few superlatives to describe how kind and generous t...

Call The Grammar Police: Apostrophe Edition — My Permanent Record
http://www.geofffox.com/MT/archives/2015/08/05/call-the-grammar-police-apostrophe-edition.php
Skip to main content. Skip to main menu. Call The Grammar Police: Apostrophe Edition. I have been known to bite my tongue while reading social media. “Your” and “you’re” are used interchangeably. The same goes for “there,” “their” and “they’re.”. The bane of written English. Words that sound alike, but have different meanings. It drives me nuts. Mangled English is expected on Facebook and Twitter where grammarians are scarce. But CNN? This entry was posted on Wednesday, August 5th, 2015 at 2:06 pm. It ge...

Skip to main content. Skip to main menu. Irene Is A Serious Threat. If you’ve been reading my blog over the past few days there’s little I’m going to tell you now you don’t already know. It is likely Hurricane Irene will strike Connecticut with hurricane force winds this Sunday. All hurricane forecasts are subject to error, but I have worked diligently to get as close as possible. Helaine and I have moved our deck furniture to the basement. We moved our gas grill in the house though it won’t be...If you ...

Bill Gates Goes Up In My Esteem (Like He Cares) — My Permanent Record
http://www.geofffox.com/MT/archives/2010/09/04/bill-gates-goes-up-in-my-esteem-like-he-cares.php
Skip to main content. Skip to main menu. Bill Gates Goes Up In My Esteem (Like He Cares). I’ve never been a big Bill Gates fan. You have to be ruthless to be a corporate titan. I just read a well thought out story about him. My mind is changed. In 2008 with Gates leaving daily life at Microsoft Todd Bishop of the Seattle Post Intelligencer was granted an interview. To prepare he read through Bill Gates’ emails made public after a trial. The interviewer showed Gates the email and asked if he remembered it?

Skip to main content. Skip to main menu. Every Picture Tells A Story — This One Especially. My niece Jessica posted this photo earlier today. She tagged Helaine and me. Jessie has two children of her own, but this is her at our wedding. She was the flower girl. There she was, not yet four, standing at the back of the shul. All those people in front of her. All this adult stuff going on. My sister, ace child psychologist and motivational speaker, would have none of it. My Last Night With Jon Stewart.

Skip to main content. Skip to main menu. What’s The Hottest Month? It has turned blazing hot in the Palm Springs area. Our average on this date is 107. We hit 110. Tomorrow and Wednesday 113 are forecast. I talk a lot about dew point, but there comes a time when nothing will make it more comfortable except lower temps. We’re there! These are 2015’s hottest summertime temps even though we’re past the historically hottest day. One thing leads to another… in this case which is the hottest month? We used to ...

Death To Comic Sans — My Permanent Record
http://www.geofffox.com/MT/archives/2006/06/04/death-to-comic-sans.php
Skip to main content. Skip to main menu. Death To Comic Sans. I was flipping through the channels earlier today. There was a show (it could have been on a public access channel) where the text identifying the host (what are often called ‘lower third fonts’) was written in Comic Sans MS. That’s a font that comes installed on every PC. It is now banned. As of today, you no longer have my permission to use it. OK – I don’t have that power (yet). But, if I did, Comic Sans would be outta here. June 4, 2006 at...
