I wrote and edited aircraft repair and maintenance manuals for about fourteen years. Later I managed the office that distributed those manuals.

Although lots of people at work claim to have watched the Super Bowl, most of them say they did so for the commercials, rather than for either the football game or the entertainment. I would have opted for the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet, but I have my very own one of those going on at home right now, and I get to pick up all the "touchdowns."

Makes for a really easy birthday party. A few buddies, a few beers (Guinness is the favorite) and the football game of the year. What more could a testosterone-drenched group ask for? Meanwhile, I wanted to thank you for your comments. Germane, intelligent and insightful. (All words with "g" for some reason). Women's lib was a flash in the pan, I'm afraid. Now it's back to flirt and play down your intelligence and hooray for the younger women. We made some progress, but we're paying for it.

I think we tend to end up reading blogs by people we share at least one channel with. Being as I am kind of a Buffalo fan, from my days in Rochester, or maybe support the Giants or Jets, having lived in both New York City and NJ, I had no Superbowl rooting interest. Pittsburgh the western part of my state. Further than NY! A foreign country. Heck, stealing from blogs is probably OK.

Laughing smiles! Your mention of current events spoke to me, because Brian and I were out-of-town for just a few days and so much of significance happened. It was surreal when we returned. Oh pish posh regarding the intersecting ideas showing up in your manuscript. Darlin’, I consider it a vicarious publishing opportunity for me! How interesting you experienced the triple cross-referencing. Recently, one of my posts mentioned rose petals strewn on beds (no point in elaborating my hit on that again). One of the responses mentioned that my post reminded him of an Eddie Murphy routine he once heard. I panicked that readers might think I had stolen the idea, because it all came from my own warped head. But apparently in Eddie Murphy’s too! Ahhh, all these intersecting brilliant minds. xoxo Your Ed McMahon shtick was marvelous! Laughing smiles!
