May is Traffice Safety Month    1. Do you yield when a blind pedestrian is crossing the road? Well of course. I stop and I stare.

1. If 100 people your age were chosen at random, how many do you think you'd find having a more satisfying life than yours? Oh, that is tough. I have no life.

Lately I have been finding something

1. How do you picture your funeral? Is it important to have people on hand to mourn you? Huge mourning. We may need to rent the National Cathedral. I think I will start getting together an appropriate media team to coordinate the televised lines as I lay in state. Speechifyin', Mommas cryin'. That is what I foresee. 2. Is there anything anyone could have/should have told you that would

1. When is the last time you became unraveled? July 30, 2001. 2. When is the last time you accepted a dare? I am certain there is a booze related challenge in the recent past that fulfills this question. But perhaps because of the booze, I cannot recall it. As an adult, I generally don't live a life full of dares. Maybe that is part of the problem. Back to therapy, I go. 3. What's one

Who will win?: 1. Best performance by an actor in a leading role: Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Capote" Terrence Howard in "Hustle & Flow" Heath Ledger in "Brokeback Mountain" Joaquin Phoenix in "Walk the Line" David Strathairn in "Good Night, and Good Luck" My guess, Hoffman, but you can put good money on Srathairn as well. He is considered an actors actor and everyone in Hollywood loves him.

1. If you could go back and relive one moment or day from your life, without changing anything, what would you re-experience? I tend to walk through life in a "not paying attention" haze. That said, I think it would have to be my attendance of the Burl Ives concert at the Boy Scout Jamboree in 1980. What a life changing night. Burl rocked my world. 2. If you could witness a moment in history,

1. What is your preferred trusted news source? Lately it is Google news, which is really just a collection of all the news sources on the web. And the UK Guardian. I really don't read newspapers anymore. For television, I am keen on CNN headline news as background noise whilst running around the house. 2. What is a news source that you will never trust? Fox news. They have a bad reputation

1. What happened the last time you got furious in traffic? A power cord was down at the exit ramp to I 25 and Yale. Cars were driving over and under the down line and there was traffic behind me as well. No real way to get out of the situation. I crept through the mess and then called 911 before someone hit the line and got zapped. But it was a real dillema with no real way out of the

1. What's your worst landlord story. My landlord in college was a professor at the school and she owned this little house that had three apartments. She was a total wack job and the house was a bit of a pit. She was concerned that a house of college students was playing the stereo too much and had too many televisions and computers going - not for the reasons you might assume - distractions,

1. What was the last dream you remember? Last night, I dreamed about this big meeitng we are going to have at work today. And we had to rearrange a lot of the conference rooms, because a huge contingent of Marines was marching over to participate in the meeting. Very odd. 2. Do you believe in Dog? The family dog, Bruno could be a diety. I think I could believe in him and his spirit,

Last week's Friday 5's got me to thinking about karma, and good versus bad bahavior. Thus, I'm posing some follow-up questions about what does or doesn't constitute the building of good karma. I've been kicking these around in my mind this week, so please review and discuss: (submitted by Rev_Ed.) 1. If you perform a good act, but with bad intentions (i.e., you're angry or hateful about

1. What word irks you every time you hear someone say it? Irregardless 2. What is your favorite word? Lately, I am smitten by "Whilst" 3. Name three words you think other people overuse: I am a Republican 4. What is your opinion on karma? I think that certainly a case can be made that there is a Karmic balance in the world, that one action is balanced by another. 5. If you take the

1. What is your most prized material possession? I think its my Bose stereo. I love the sound, I love the convenience. I have never given this much thought until now. 2. What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest? I have a few books that I have owned since high school days. There are some knick knacks that I have had around all my life. BUt saying that, I can't quite put

Random mix: 1. Write the most boring sentence ever. When approaching a stop light, begin to depress the brake pedal slowly, and depressing the clutch in a manner that allows you to shift the gear box into a lower gear - whereby the car will come to a timely halt at the intersection, allowing the driver to assess the proper traffic sequence and determine whether it is safe to continue through

1. What did you want to be when you grew up? In High School, I had visions of becoming a director or some sort of behind the scenes job in theater. When I returned to college after the army, I intended on becoming a teacher. 2. Did you follow through? If not, what happened? Neither happened, but I don't know why, really. Various circumstances, of which some made sense and others didn't. I am now

I love Paul. He was a Beatle, forchrisake. He wrote "A Day In The Life" and "I Saw Her Standing There." He has real street cred in the vicious dog-eat-dog 'hood of Rock and Roll. But for about six weeks each year, I contemplate putting a bullet in his head. Why? The sappiest Christmas song ever! "Wonderful Christmas Time" has to be one of the worst and because of his uber celebrity status, it is

1. What book has had the most significant impact on your life?The Holy Bible . . . Okay, really? I guess it would be Slauterhouse Five, whereupon we learn, as readers that a book can be poignant, sad, funny and surreal all at the same time. 2. What is the worst lie you've ever told?I really can't tell you that. Some of my sinnin' is kept between me and myself. I think we all have a few of

When I first moved to Denver, I began listening to The Don and Mike Show on the radio. It moved around a lot on the AM and FM dial here in Denver, but they eventually disappeared. This afternoon on a whim I decided to check in on my two Radio Gods and voila, they are still around, still broadcasting from WJFK in Fairfax, VA and more importantly, stream their show through Infinity broadcasting.

1. On what day do you celebrate Thanksgiving? I started hearing about this last week or so. Apparently some families, because of work or travel or lack of tradition, observe T-Day on the Sunday of the traditionally long weekend. Not at our house. The hole affair is steeped in tradition, from the smell of the turkey in the morning to the parades and football games on television. It all must be

1. What is your favorite "Friends" episode? I don't recall the exact name of the episode, so I will call it - "The one where Monica explains to Chandler how to please a woman." 1-1-4-5-7-7-7-7-SEVEN! 2. Who would be in your historical threesome? Lillian Hellman and Ingrid Bergman! (I don't really know. Full disclosure, I have had this question to ponder for nearly a week and the list is

1. What is your favorite noise to hear? Lately, that noise would be Beethoven, played as loud as possible. I just can't get enough of him! I also love the noise of the horn when a goal is scored in hockey. 2. If you could live in any era of time, what would you choose and why? Victorian era in London. I am a white male. For guys like me, those were indeed the salad days of time. Fashion, a

I have been away from the net for a bit. Housesitting and downshifting on the personal side, scrambling and working hard on the professional side and as a result no real time for "The Fives" or for "Foto Friday." Folks, concerned with my well-being, have sent substitute questions and foto suggestions, so that part of "This Old Blog" should be up and running in no time. In the meantime, a reissue

Blue, no cape, kicky boots and a shiny black face mask like the Lone Ranger. 4. What would your catch phrase/calling card be? Living The Dream, Baby. 5. If you could have any superpower what would

1. Have you ever been to the emergency room? In my youth, my clumsy, clumsy youth I went to the ER quite often for stiches and such. In my adulthood, I have been spared the trauma of waiting out a trauma in ER. 2. What's the worst pain you've ever had? I am the biggest baby in the world when it comes to burns. Simple little kitchen burns that are quite harmless, can turm me into the biggest

1. What kind of lighting is around you? At home, natural lighting coming in the big picture window through the blinds. At work, stark, soul sucking florescent lighting, as bright as can be. ugh! . 2. What do you think of your singing voice? Absolutely delightful, despite what anyone says. In the car, Roy's Karaoke Kommute is generally sold out, as I craft delightful, melodious versions of most

So, we remember last week, former Drug Czar and former Secretary of Education Bill Bennett got in some (justifiable) heat for his remarks equating high crime rates with race. In defending his remarks, (not apologizing, defending) he said that his wife has done more to help Blacks in America than the entire Congressional Black Caucus. Let's review. The Congressional Black Caucus includes MLK

1. When is the last time you lost your keys? About 8 or 9 years ago wile playing late at night with Shelly, Loren and Eddie at the playground at Washington Park. "The Park is closed!" 2. Are you likely to ask for directions when lost or to continue to wander? I will wander for a bit at first. I usually am not completely lost - know where I am at and I know where I need to be. But I have an

1. What is the most fun things you have done this summer? It is a toss up between the weekend I spent at Mom's ranch and going to Redrocks for Van Morrison - both were great events in completely different ways for completely different reasons. 2. What are you listening to now? The new Bob Dylan compilation "No Direction Home" and "Jerry Garcia Band Live at Keen College." I must have slipped

"There is nothing in the long-range forecast that I can see that will prevent Rita from intensifying into a Category 3 or stronger hurricane" This guy was was right on the money for Katrina and worth listening to as the next big storm starts brewing.

1. Name one thing you've quit: I guess in a way I quit the army - I took an early out and left 60 days early. I also quit a job at a teleconference center once upon a time, starting a course of jobs that I still hold today as a dweeb supervising a call center. 2. Name something you've won: I don't join a lot of contests. However, as a dweeb, supervising a call center, I won a coveted Inner

1. What was the first song you remember hearing and enjoying on the radio? "Tie A Yellow Ribbon 'Round The Old Oak Tree." I was 10 and this song for some unfathomable reason, captivated me. 2. If you could only listen to five CDs for a year, which five would they be? (Boxed sets can count as one CD. Sigh.) Bruce Springsteen, "Live 1975 - 1985"; Springsteen's "The Rising; John Prine, "Good

Well, I don't think it is Mike Brown, the current head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. For a federal agency that has become as important in the last 15 years or so, as we have seen with FEMA, you di don't hire a lawyer, who has no disaster experience. You don't hire a college buddy whose last job was as a horse judging association president. You hire someone with real experience.

"In comments on Thursday, Sep. 1, in an interview with Diane Sawyer of ABC News, President George W. Bush said, "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees. They did anticipate a serious storm. But these levees got breached." In comments to the press on Sep. 3, Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff remarked, "That 'perfect storm' of a combination of catastrophes exceeded the

1. What if any instrument do you play? I can play the saxophone and took organ lessons as a child, but I haven't played an instrument for years. I am trying to learn the guitar, but I am not very focused at it. 2. If you could choose to play an instrument what would it be? Acoustic steel blues guitar. I wanna be a bluesman. 3. If you were in a band, what would your band's name be? I was never

1. Flu season is around the corner. How do you handle the seasonal head cold? Zicam usually. And I supplement with a preemptive Tylenol and a saline nasal spray. I generally don't too run down with a cold, but I have had a few multi-day bed rests in the past. Hopefully this year will be better. I am a firm believer in the flu shot and will take one again this year. 2. Apirin? Tylenol?

1. Do you exercise on a regular basis? I am trying. My new goal is not so much to exericise but to no longer practice my "Epic" sedentary life. It is about small little steps and ensuring every day I get out and move. In the process I am exercising and getting in shape, I suppose. My problem with exercise is that I hate sweating and getting hot and muggy. I haven't found a decent gym

(click on Peter for special surprise.) I always liked this guy, Jennings. He had a wry sense of humor, probably part of the Canadian in him. And he seemed, compared to his network peers of Brockaw and Rather, to be more sincere, more honest and more of a real journalist. I read somewhere recently, and I don't recall where, one family compared him to the Cronkite of our generation. ABC News and

1. Given the circumstance that you would need to - how would you go about getting rid of the body? I think some creative use of a chipper shredder would be in order. Put the parts into a good sized plastic bag or two and then, under the dark of night, take the bag of parts to the country and liberally feed to some pigs. 2. Have any turn on? (not necessarily sexual) In other words, to answer
