Quote of the day
Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't read them, either.

If figures of speech based on sport and fornication were suddenly banned,

Quote of the day
"I want you to get mad about the current state of affairs. I want you to get so mad that you use your new degree and your common sense to kick America off dead center. A little righteous anger really brings out the best in the American personality.
Our nation was born when 56 patriots got mad enough
to sign the Declaration of Independence. We put a
man on the moon because Sputnik made us mad at being
number two in space. Getting mad in a constructive
way is good for the soul- and the country.
-Lee J. Iacocca (Commencement Address)

Are we there yet?
We're heading east for Thanksgiving dinner with Cindy's family, but first we have to drop off all seven shelties at South Hills Pet Resort. Fortunately, the pups love the place. Deja, our oldest female and canine queen of the household, is not shy about expressing her displeasure if she's somewhere other than where she wants to be. When we arrive at the kennel, Her Majesty makes a beeline up the steps and right into the office. Believe me, that's a ringing endorsement.
And yes, even with small dogs and a big vehicle, it's like riding in a furry clown car. The beauty with the big smile in the middle of the photo is Misty, a former agility star. (Misty's full name is "Michelle's Cinnamon Mist." Michelle is Cindy's youngest, now at Penn State.) Sasha's behind her, and on the right is Lucy, whose function is to bark at changes in barometric pressure, light levels, passing clouds, and similar significant events, a job she does with unfailing enthusiasm. And frequency.
Have a good holiday, all!

Wow.
There's nothing better than a rock version of a Broadway standard with a full orchestra.

So there.
The kgb@kgb.com e-mail address is now something other than kgb@kgb.com saga.
kgbreport.com used to be kgb.com until December, 2007 when the domain name broker
Trout Zimmer made an offer I couldn't refuse.
Giving up kgb.com and adopting kgbreport.com created a significant problem, however.
I had acquired the kgb.com domain name in 1993,
and had since that time used kgb@kgb.com as my sole e-mail address. How to let people know
that kgb@kgb.com was no longer kgb@kgb.com but
rather kgbarkes@gmail.com which is longer than kgb@kgb.com and more letters to
type than kgb@kgb.com and somehow less aesthetically
pleasing than kgb@kgb.com but actually just as functional as kgb@kgb.com? I sent e-mails from the kgb@kgb.com address to just about
everybody I knew who had used kgb@kgb.com in the past decade and a half but noticed that some people just didn't seem to get the word
about the kgb@kgb.com change. So it occurred to me that if I were generate some literate, valid text in which kgb@kgb.com was repeated
numerous times and posted it on a bunch of different pages- say, a blog indexed by Google- that someone looking for kgb@kgb.com would
notice this paragraph repeated in hundreds of locations, would read it, and figure out that kgb@kgb.com no longer is the kgb@kgb.com
they thought it was. That's the theory, anyway. kgb@kgb.com. Ok, I'm done. Move along. Nothing to see here...
(as a matter of fact, i AM the boss of you.)
