“Martha Washington Asparagus.”
Why?
Just . . . because. . . now I can.
It sucks, but like all loves, the rewards were absolutely worth the costs and unavoidable risk of inevitable separation.
I hope the start of Buster’s time off this mortal coil is an entertaining as this take from “All Dogs Go To Heaven.”
It used to be that important deceased governmental figures, like Sen. Ted Kennedy, would “lie in state” while mourners paid their respects.
Apparently, the favored MSM term has become “lie in repose.”
Interesting. Perhaps when you as a media outlet have to write to an audience’s sub-high school reading level, you get your jollies by sounding swanky as often as possible.
Also, the Senator will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery to join some important neighbors who lie amongst our honored fallen: his brothers, of course . . . and my father.
Even with the last name mis-spelling, it’s nice to be remembered fondly for my efforts — on-air efforts! — at 89X.
Also, FYI, the picture is scan of the original “The Cutting Edge” bumper sticker, which I’ve not been able to find elsewhere online and fished out of my desk drawer archives. Unfortunately, the neon orange 88.7 and Edge parts aren’t showing up too well, but it’s so very early ’90′s, no?
This past Spring, mentioning the passing of my Grosse Pointe North High School journalism teacher, I noted the degree of achievement that our relatively small class achieved. Thanks to the kind cross-post by the good Prof. Mark Osler and the comments he and I received (including re-visiting the obvious “Lex was a geek”) , I would be remiss to never post what I missed the first time, and what I’ve heard about since.

After a month-plus of doing everything — or, from another perspective, nothing – to undermine any reader interest or momentum in my little page here (though I was able to keep up a bit on my Twitter page), I am now able to man up and (sort of) explain WTF happened in the following fashion:
No, the blogger in question instead recognizes that the new prescription medicine one was given to brighten one’s mood instead quickly and unexpectedly darkened it dramatically, while also promptly rendering said blogger’s ability to do anything work- or writing-related non-existent (other than the decidedly non-profit Twittering). Personal and professional sturm und drang und embarrassment and anxiety ensued, and after discontinuing said medication (and doing some research and proceeding more naturally), a new day has emerged, mitigation of the fallout has commenced, and it will continue.
Hey, life happens.

All because of my Beatles-themed anniversary post?
Any suggestions or theories?
As certain cretins say, developing…
