I think I'd love to see the old classic comics back to watch them again. Ones like Laurel and Hardy, The 3 Stooges, Marx Brothers, just to name a few.
The world could do with a few more laughs and they were the best.
Those films can be bought online, reyn. Have you seen Harold Lloyd's pictures? Masterpieces, dude.
Well, basically I've only seem them on TV. So, if they're not being shown there, I don't see them. They used to show them at off-hours years ago. I can't really see myself buying films to start a collection. I'm sure that would be expensive anyways.
Yes, I've seen some of Lloyd's work, but not so prevalent as Laurel and Hardy and Chaplain, just to name them. Nonetheless, I liked what I saw.
Do you have an oldtimers' collection of them?
I only have a few of these oldies. I have Laurel and Hardy moving a piano up some stairs, and one of them cleaning the house, until Laurel burns it down.
231. I think the 60s were like a magic portal, through which one had but to reach into to retrieve one's dream. But, most of us grabbed and turned away, empty handed. Slippery, they were.
232. I think it curious how detached Alice seems throughout Lewis Carroll's novels.
233. I think hair is all that seperates us from apes.
234. I think I would like to have a talking bird. I would make endless tapes of Sinatra and Dylan for it to listen to, day and night.
235. I think errors are inevitable, meaning, I should make one sometime in my lifetime.
236. I think it's hilarious that my younger brother, whom I still regard as a kid, is bald on top of his head. He's fifty. He he.
237. I think my dog should protect me from strangers. She, on the other hand, thinks it is my job to protect her instead.
238. I think my wife is beginning to recuperate. She went with me to the store and then we visited her father's grave at the Veteran's Cemetary. She came home tired, but is still up and about.
239. I think Newt Gingrich ought to be given the nomination by Republicans. Just a test to see if people will elect two dummies in a row.
240. I think my dog better get finished shedding her winter coat soon. D-d-d-d-damn it.

Great news! I'm sure you're relieved that all is going well. I always worry when my wife has an operation. She has two in her future. One for a stomach hernia, and a distant two for a right knee replacement.
glad to hear mrs. blythe is on the mend

i never really got that impression
last year was the first year in many that i didn't re-read the books (i did however listen to an audio book), perhaps it's time for a visit to wonder land and through the looking glass

There are no small operations, particularly with the aged. I have seen a number of older persons go in for seemingly small operations and die in the hospital.

Well, that's my impression.
Edgar, Glad Mrs. B is doing well.
Thanks, Roberta. I am leaving for work in about an hour. She got up early to have a shower, in case she needs help, but also because storms with possible tornados is close to here and moving in. Our water supply depends on having electricity.
I hope the tornados pass you by. Believe it or not, my water supply depends on electricity too.
They were on TV talking about tornados, hail and 60 MPH wind. We ended with a quick shower and lots of clouds.

re-reading now, you may be right
241. I think CI should be all right. He has some health problems. I'm with you, man.
242. I think Will and Grace is a funny TV show.
243. I think Faust (Goethe) is one fantastic book. I prefer Volume One for its readability, but Volume Two carries us to such a wonderful end.
244. I think it neat that I paid The Writer's Digest to critique one of my short stories and the teacher wrote that he did not like it. Honesty in the face of economic considerations and hurt feelings. Pretty rare. I once ordered a writer's course by mail, and purposely botched the exam I was given to take before acceptance. The teacher gushed sugar over every bit of it.
245. I think too many people want to write Jesse Jackson off as a man who cares only to garner headlines and is not sincere about the causes he espouses. I submit that he has put himself on the line for a lifetime, never deviating from a central message. When I followed him in the 60s, he said it was essential to have headlines, or people would forget him and his work. He was referring to people in the movement in addition to himself. Without the big public notice, the public will not be swayed. He has made some serious blunders a few times. Who among us has not?
246. I think it an odd quirk that the young man I work with had some of his teeth ruined by drinking soda pop, even though he rarely drinks more than one in a day's time. He was carrying one with him while working, sipping occasionally. Those sips kept acid and sugar on his teeth all the time. He had emergency surgery to remove two teeth that were infected last Saturday.
247. I think in terms of admiration, mixed with sorrow, for a resident in the apartments, a veteran who did time in a Nazi prisoner of war camp. His wife died this morning and he appears to be bearing up, but I know he's suffering.
248. I think the Beatles might perchance be equalled, but never surpassed.
249. I think Endymion is a talented man. He ought to go far.
250. I think the same of Aidan, except she's a girl.
251. I think my death mask will look like wrinkled jello.
252. I think it a bit disturbing that so many of my friends and relatives have been dying of cancer (all live in or near Corpus Christi).
253. I think Kevorkian was right.
254. I think I've finally become tired of the soups I've been making and bringing for lunch every work day. Time to think of something new.
255. I think my fav football teams will go nowhere next season. (Steelers, Texsuns, Redskins).
256. I think of timber's passing as the loss of a good friend. I hope he had good thoughts of me, once in a while.
257. I think I may have offended my half sister. I sent her an email four days ago, in which I enumerated reasons I and my full brothers detested her father. Most of it could hardly be called revelations. Just one small paragraph that jolted her. She's the family historian, bent on getting at the truth about everybody. I'm old enough to recall early events she doesn't have a memory of. Maybe she will reply soon.
258. I think of death as being all around me, of late. Family, friends, acquaintences, co-workers. For the past year, it's an almost weekly happening, mostly surprises.
259. I think my helper may be out a few more days. He had emergency surgery to extract some infected wisdom teeth. Now he's home in extreme pain with dry sockets, unable to speak. He was considering going to the hospital, last I heard.
260. I think I need some alcohol and a few days off, myself.

Yes, indeed!
Another sad death of one of our A2K friends.
