D'oh! I was so worked up trying to decide on what to buy (compact vs DSLR
and what brand/model) that I *forget* all about the 120 film.
I'll get back down there soon.

I'm no one to talk, but it looks to me like in the sentance, "forget"
is still acceptable.

If you are looking for a good read, take a chance on Thackeray's Vanity
Fair. There's a character in that book, Rawdon Crawley, who reminds me
of Herring and "Reggie."
Pretty sad if reading a good piece of literature makes you think of NG
characters.

There's nothing unusual about recalling the "attributes" of characters in
literature and applying them to actual people you might encounter. There
are several posters here who exhibit some of the worst attributes of
Dickens' villains.

As an example, "Reggie" reminds me most of Dickens' Uriah Heep from David
Copperfield.

A brief descriptor from Wiki:

"The character is notable for his cloying humility, obsequiousness, and
general insincerity."

Reggie.


Funny you should be on this track...
Wife & I just stopped in for a quick bite after returning from a downtown
camera store.
I picked up a weekly free publication called 'The Morning Coffee' which has
short articles and jokes, quizzes etc to read.
This entry from the "Lighter Side" section instantly reminded me of a poster
here.
See if you can guess... :

"Some minds are like concrete... all mixed up and permanently set"




Easy. That's WAFA. No doubt about it.

New Illinois State Motto

"Illinois, where our governors make our license plates"



BLAGO HUMOR --


To the tune of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

Get packin¹, Rod Blagojevich
The state¹s in disarray
The Tribune wants you unemployed
At least by Christmas Day.
The TV pundits want your head
Could there be pay to play?
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Save Illinois!
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Good riddance Rod Blagojevich
Your Elvis look¹s inane,
The Senate¹s mad, so¹s Lisa¹s dad.
You drive us all insane.
Our transit¹s broke, the state¹s a joke, The Tollway¹s one big pain.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Save Illinois!
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Good luck old Rod Blagojevich
The feds have quite a place.
Fitzgerald¹s poked his nose around
And if he has a case,
George Ryan¹s moving stuff around
Creating extra space.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Save Illinois!
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

MANAGER'S MEMO 12/16/08

Blagogate enters its second week with plenty to ponder. Like last
week…let me hit some key points to consider as this stain widens.

-The silence of former Illinois Congressman and the proposed chief of
staff to the president-elect, Rahm Emanuel, certainly is deafening.
Emanuel once bragged that he and Obama had masterminded Rob
Blagojevich's 2002 gubernatorial campaign. Now he is dodging reporters
and offering zero comment. It is logical that Emanuel had
conversations with Hot Rod…..nothing wrong there. The silence is
probably because Emanuel is all over the wire taps. Anything he says
now --can't dispute what appears on the tapes….which are sure to be
released eventually.

-On another front I continue to see the national media go completely
into the tank for the incoming president. Remember when the GOP named
Sarah Palin as VP? Remember the dozens of reporters and investigators
that rushed to tiny Wasilla, Alaska to find dirt? Good grief, they
were relentless. But look where Obama cut his teeth? Chicago,
Illinois--- Where graft is a birthright. And yet, there was woefully
little reporting on Obama's rise through the southside of the windy
city.

-Who is the sitting Governor meeting these days? One day he is meeting
with a group of ministers and the next he is meeting with rapper R.
Kelly's attorney. What an interesting lesson in diversity….One day
breaking bread with the monsignor and asking for forgiveness…and the
next asking a criminal lawyer how to cut the best deal to save his own
skin…..What an interesting life.

And finally, I received an e-mail from an Illinois native last
week….and this is what it said on the bottom of the
message-----“quote” -----

“Being a native Illinoisan means being a “can-do” person. Heck, even
our Governors roll up their sleeves and make license plates.”

Maybe Blago is trying to make it a state crime instead of a Federal crime
and then he can pardon himself.

Well, locals have already discussed what he can do with himself.....
