Winter Spring Summer Fall

I am half-way done editing this week's Dirty Laundry Podcast but I will have to finish that tomorrow. As long as there are no unforeseen problems the show will be ready for you to enjoy (or make fun of or whatever reason you listen) tomorrow afternoon. It is 15:32 right now and I wanted to blog and I have to get some sleep before I go into work tonight.

Cha Cha and I took Jeff for a walk earlier this afternoon in a snow storm. I cannot believe that I had to wear a stocking cap, gloves and my winter coat again. I was just wearing shorts two days ago. Where is this global warming I keep hearing about? I am just kidding - I know this is BECAUSE OF the Global Warming. It amuses me that people think "global warming" means that the Earth should be warm everywhere all the time. They really should have called it something like Global Catastrophic Change or The Beginning of the End of Life on Earth or The Future New Sun for Some New Planets or something that says what the name really is in the title. Haven't scientists been watching advertisers and spending time on social media? You have to simplify it and keep it to as few characters as possible. The Global Warming has slowly been melting our brains. As long as I am blogging celestial bodies - tonight (actually tomorrow morning at 03:00ish MIDDLE America Time) there will be a full lunar eclipse... thanks Global Warming. I will be working but I will be certain to be watching the sky at this time. There is also an observatory where I work and they are having a "watching" or "showing" or "viewing" or something. Doesn't everybody have an observatory at their place of employment? I have "shot the moon" many times in my day but this seems better. There may be some difficulty seeing the moon (not mine) tonight given the state of our weather beginning last night. Observatories are probably the answer to that dilemma.

You will be able to hear it tomorrow on the show but, just in case, make sure to set your DVR's (or watch it live) for Fargo on FX; it begins tomorrow night. It looks REALLY good. Billy Bob Thornton, Bob Odenkirk, Martin Freeman (Bilbo Baggins), Oliver Platt, Keith Carradine, Colin Hanks... I think I like all of those people. I tend to have mixed feeling about Keith Carradine but I am not sure why. He's funny on The Big Bang Theory even though I am tired of that show too. He was really good in Deadwood as Wild Bill Hickok. Maybe I am taking out not liking David Carradine on him which is not fair. I think I like Keith actually.

Now I want to watch Deadwood again for the 1,000,000th time

That makes me remember that I am planning on going to Troy Grove, IL (very close to here) on May 25th to Wild Bill Hickok Day. They had me at cemetery tours! Mark your calendars to go with me. It only goes from 11:00AM - 3:00PM. Troy Grove is the town that Hickok grew up in until he headed west when he was about 18. It was called Homer, IL then but it is the same place. They have shoot-outs in the street and I am hoping funnel cakes. Sounds a lot like any current city in Texas I guess. Here is a link if you need more convincing. I just "marked my calendar." It will probably be boring and I will feel like a turd in a punch bowl because I am not a townie but it sure is something different. Unless you come with me - then it will be fun for sure.

That's just about all I know. I do know that I am probably going to try to sleep now; probably while watching Deadwood. Have a nice Winter Spring Summer Fall tonight. If you're awake try to see the lunar eclipse. Whatever you do, even if it sleeping, I hope you have a great night. Thanks a lot for slowing down long enough to read the blog and, I will let you know when the podcast is up tomorrow. TTTT...MITM (out) TA!
