"The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" (1967) started out as a typical comedy/variety program. When the show began (and continued) to use humor/satire to criticize America's involvement in the Vietnam War, CBS network censors and executives were, to say the least, nervous. This Bravo cable channel documentary tells what happened behind the scenes at the network, how the people involved were affected, and why the show was ultimately cancelled. Many of those who were involved directly with the show are interviewed, including performers, writers, and former CBS executives." Written by David Glagovsky {dglagovsky@prodigy.net}

What Jimi Said, 3/15/09

Real Life Toddle Story

My wife has been in the habit of fixing delicious Sunday lunches for the family for many years. Today she fixed one of our favorite menu items--chicken fajitas, a Mexican food item with tortilla, peppers, chicken (or steak or both), cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. These are very enjoyable and are gulped down by many of the gathered lunch eaters (of course, I eat with the decorum of a retired grandpa with slower reflexes than in years past)..

As usual, Grandson Jimi came to lunch with his Dad. My wife asked him if he wanted a fajita, knowing that he loves them, and surprisingly he said no. Chris reminded Jimi of his preference for fajitas, and the Grandson Jimi soon to be 45 months old said,

"Fajita Grandma, I know what I want and I know what I don't want."

And what did Mr. Assertive Toddler want? Fruity Peebles, his favorite cereal.

A New Link Posted to "Shail's Nest"

Today I posted a new link, a link to Shail's Nest, belonging to a friend of mine, Shailaja Mohan who lives in Kerela, India. Kerela, India, on Wikipedia.com She is proud to be a stay-at-home Mom and lists her occupation as human resources. She writes about various subjects from her heart in a very human way.

I was first her friend at Yahoo 360 where her writing style and passion and joy for life caught my eye. Now we are friends at multiply.com, but she does much of her writing at Shail's Nest. Link for Shail's Nest

You will find delightful humor at her site, as well as other subjects. Enjoy.

HOW DANGEROUS IS A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE COMPARED TO NO KNOWLEDGE? "In some situations where a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, it is still less dangerous than no knowledge." BH

FRUSTRATION IN THE CEREAL AISLE While shopping in a grocery store the other day, I saw an elderly lady muttering to herself in the cold cereals section. As she got closer to me, I heard her say, "I could find what I was looking for if they didn't have 900 different types of cereal. I decided to come to her rescue. "What are you looking for?" I asked. "Maple-flavored mini-wheats," she answered. After searching all 900 boxes of cereal twice I turned up empty-handed, reported my failure, and left before I heard what she had to say about me. BH

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Actually, my cd was released in 1985, in return for two German missionaries and a Dutch urologist.

I got some new underwear the other day. Well, new to me.

Some mornings it just doesn't seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps.
