Wednesday's Digressions

Me some day- a grumpy old toad that had to turn his back on a cold cruel world... Mr. Toad overlooks his domain in the front flower bed.

• Hope And Glory- what a great funny, funny film about the life of an 10 year old boy and how he sees the world during the blitz in London.




• Finished the Krakuerer bio on Pat Tillman Where Men Win Glory and as inspirational as it could be it's also very disturbing. I knew there was some problems with how the reporting and investigation of his death was handled- I simply had no idea the level of deceit that went to the highest levels of our government. Simply put: they guaranteed a public relations disaster by trying to micromanage perception and prevent a PR disaster. The one thing that really jumped out at me? They attempted to use that man from start to finish and while he was an infantryman assigned to a Ranger Batt. in the most dangerous places in the world they never seemed to asked the question from the start: Um, what will we do if the guy gets killed?




• Zac could watch Bee Movie on a continuous loop on a rainy day and be happy as a clam.




• Well, maybe break it up with Barney Songs occasionally.




• I don't link to and hardly ever read some of my favorite blogs.



• While we are sleeping- war between Israel and Syria is essentially inevitable at this point and will likely come in just a few months. Israels air force is at 60% full alert (very, very significant in case you didn't know) and Syria has their hyperbole generators set to max power.
