Ironically funny...

My ramblings today remind me of Paul Harvey. For you folks who don't know (or too young to remember, let alone not born yet), Paul Harvey was a radio icon.

So, I open up my Google page and one of the daily quotes is this --

"No matter what side of the argument you are on, you always find poeple on your side that you wish were on the other." Jascha Heifetz.

Well, now, I can go about current world we live in or hell, the past for that matter, but wouldn't it be simpler to actually admit that it's nice to know who the enemy is for a change? I mean, really... we all have our difference of opinions. We also have different ways to look at things - hey, wouldn't that mean taking a different path to get to the same place? As I tell my niece, cut through the crap and get to the point.

Speaking of my niece... she called the other day. She was going on and on about watching season 5 of "JAG". HA! Boy, is she a late commer to that - I already watched the entire season at least twice (so far). It was wonderful to actually *tell* her that season 6 would be released in time for Memorial Day! (She's not the only one with her sources on the internet with this stuff).

Oh, since I mentioned "JAG", I have to say that I'm very envious of my fellow Canadian fans catching David James Elliott with a reoccuring character in the new series "The Guard". I sure do hope and wish a US network will be able to pick it up as well, but hey, I might be able to contain my excitement on seeing DJE in a new Lifetime movie coming up (providing Lifetime can stop changing the title).

Ah, and before I finish this long over-due post. I get this e-mail from a friend who found on some sort of holiday website and they say that today is "Get a different name". I have to ask... Why? What's wrong with the one I've got? You don't like it, too bad, never said you had to. It's my name, I like, I was born with it, will die with it and lived with it. If I can live with it, so can't everyone else!

As Paul Harvey always said at the closing of each radio segment... "And that's, the rest of the story."
