The Trouble with Youth
It’s amazing to me. How attitudes and our paradigms change as we get older and hopefully wiser.
For you young people out there, believe it or not there may be a very good reason why you are not in charge of anything.
You don’t have experience. The trouble is that you can have an I.Q. of 175 and be the smartest person in the room but the bottom line is that you lack experience and experience is why people are put in charge.
I’m writing this about one young person in particular.
I saw an opportunity to take a week off from producing and decided to put this young person in charge in my absence.
Needless to say, this quickly took a wrong turn.
So much for some time off for me…
Trouble in Lebanon, PA.
Specter is not having a good day in PA today.
from WGAL…
Questioner: I don’t think it is just about health care. This is about the dismantling of this country. I don’t want this country turning into a socialized country. When are you going to turn this country back to what our founders created, back to the constitution?
Specter: There are a few people who didn’t stand up and applaud, but not too many. When you ask me to defend the constitution, that’s what I’ve been doing.
Questioner: The government hasn’t done anything right. We cannot afford this. Period. Keep the government out of it we’re doing just fine.
Specter: I will not vote for a plan that has a deficit.
What’s New Around Here
We’ve added another show to the Take That! Radio family this past week. I’m happy to announce that Steve Schippert will be posting his podcast through the Take That! group and we’re delighted to have him on board.
You see. You really can make some great deals while totally plastered in NYC!
Happy Birthday Dad!
Thanks to heart surgery my father is able to enjoy his 62nd birthday today in Las Vegas.
Jealous?
Perhaps…
Modern Train Travel
I’m on an Amtrak train right now in total defiance of all the bad things that have been happening on them these days.
More legroom, power outlets, and just generally a cool experience.
I’m on my way to meet 2 members of the Take That! family and later tonight, we will be having a meetup at some location in Manhattan, NY.
Tabitha and Wendy will be worth the trip I’m sure!
I’ll be posting pictures as I can…
WTF?
I haven’t posted anything in over a week!!
That’s because Take That! Radio has kept me hopping.
I’ll try to post later on today…
…bad blogger….
Man Tries to Blow Up Mattress instead Blows up House
This story comes from Reuters…
BERLIN (Reuters) – A German who tried to fix his leaky air mattress blew up his apartment instead, the fire brigade in the western city of Duesseldorf said Wednesday.
The 45-year-old man used tire repair solvent to plug a hole in his airbed and left it overnight.
But it blew up when he went to inflate it the next day. “A spark from the electric air pump ignited it,” a fire brigade spokesman said.
The blast pushed his living room wall into the building’s stairwell and caused extensive damage to walls, windows and furniture.
Fire fighters evacuated the 12-apartment building and a neighboring housing block while they checked for structural damage.
The man suffered burns on his arms, while a three-year-old girl suffered first degree burns.
