Charles Nelson Reilly in 2000

I wrote an essay on an appearance by Charles Nelson Reilly on the Tonight Show that was televised many decades ago!

I was directed to Chief Seattle's speech by Joseph Campbell, one of the most interesting lecturers it has ever been my pleasure to hear and see and ponder.

A while ago, while unpleasantly blog strolling, I stumbled on an exhilarated piece of satire written and cartooned by mindless on his render, mindless lampooning : [ Ink,Paper & Pencil(not necessarily in that order)]

This is a reproduction of his writing. the cartoon on the blog post is equally hilarious. Read on...

I skipped last week, so this is two week's worth:

Incredibly impressive stunts, but how many people are going to the ER after trying this stuff?

I think I've shared some of my haikus here before.  I've recently started working with a photographer I know to put some images and haikus together for a book proposal.  

I used to write haikus just as a warm-up exercise for my other writing, now I write at least a couple of haikus a day just to post on twitter and facebook for my friends and my own  amusement.  Almost all of these haikus were all written in the last week or two.

The secrets of the universe might be found in a drop of water.

John Haddock had been with the company for almost 25 years and at 58 very close to retirement now. He was one of the most successful design engineers they had. Graduated from Columbia Engineering School with his Masters degree and went to work for a communications firm. When the opening in his current company for an assistant design position opened up, he jumped at it.  Marshal Control Systems was just the place he wanted to be.  Helping to design the necessary power and charge control systems needed for photovoltaic and wind turbine systems.

I like to take the IPad preloaded with trail maps to go hiking, that way, you probably can't get lost. Well I probably could get lost, for some reason I seem without a good sense of direction, thank god I am married, although we do  spend much of our time recovering from me turning the wrong way everywhere we go, but the I-Pad is truly and awesome thing and keeps me from getting lost often. So I had this map loaded onto my IPad before I left home.

Someone told me
It's all happening at the zoo.
I do believe it,
I do believe it's true.

Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Whoooa. Mmmmm.

It's a light and tumble journey
From the East Side to the park;
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo.
