Question re: Lake of America... does this mean we have to change the lyrics to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald?

Sure, Dolly and Tim are getting all the headlines, but we've lost another giant this week in Jaye P. Morgan. Like Curry, Morgan had a small part in Home Alone 2. What a weird cast that movie had. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

Saw this box score and wondered: how exactly does one earn a save in a 13-1 blowout? Turns out, if you pitch the final three or more innings, regardless of score, you get a save. Ray Burgos fulfilled that exact requirement and thus earned his first save of the season. Baseball is weird.

Whenever I go for a walk and encounter someone I don't know, my default greeting is "Hey neighbor!" Which means that everyone I meet thinks I'm either Fred Rogers, Wilson from Home Improvement, or Frank Booth.

Just me and my new best friend, Walter Mosley. His hand rests on my (now signed) first edition of Little Scarlet. In front of him is my (now signed) first edition of Cinnamon Kiss, which I am currently reading (hence the bookmark). He could not have been kinder. Go ahead and meet your heroes.

Author Walter Mosley and a goofy red-headed dude.

I'm watching Heaven Can Wait in honor of the super bowl, and if today's game doesn't have a starting quarterback who is fatally injured in the fourth quarter but is then resuscitated miraculously by the spirit of the team's quarterback who was killed in the preseason, it will be a disappointment.

Confusing things in this life: Barabbas was the prisoner pardoned by Pontius Pilate instead of Jesus. Carrabba's is a chain of Italian eateries based in Florida. I feel it is important to keep them straight, though the idea of a chain restaurant based on the life of Barabbas is amusing.
