Some people are upset that a captured Russian terrorist was exchanged for a basketball star.

Accordng to the news, negotiations were going on to release both Whelan and Griner in exchange for the Russian Viktor Bout.

The Russians pushed back sayung it was Griner or notheing.

It was onviously a move to embarrass the United States.

December 8th, 1980, at just before 11:00 PM, I had finished watching a rerun of a M*A*S*H episode.

Ususally, Bill Mazer came on with a brief sports report before they went to the eleven o'clock news on channel 5 (I used to live closer to NYC back then).

Bill Mazer came on but, the first thing he said was that they just received a news report that John Lennon had been shot and he was being taken to a hospital in serious condition.

I wanted to stay u that night to hear how thi...

I just finished bingwatching the last few seasons of Lavern & Shirley.

It was a spin off from Happy Days.

It ran on ABC from 1976 - 1983.

I wasn't able to watch the last few seasons of it because, as the series ran, I was in high school and then college and between school work and a part time job, I didn't have time to watch that much TV.

Happy Days and Lavern & Shirley took place in the 1950's.

Themes of these two shows changed in the Fall of 1979.

There have been lots oftimes where I'll post on my facebook page aomething interesting, weird or coincidental and then say "I should be writing for television!" and then, as a jake, I'll write, "oh wait,... I already DO write for television!".

Sometimes, more recently, I;ll follow that up by writing ("you know, I really shoud stop saying that").

Wel;, today was no different.

At the end of September, I mailed out someting that I sold on Ebay.

A few weeks ago, the buyer ...

 The curtain rises.

 There is a lone figure standing near a table.

 The lone figure is then lighted. - it is Thomas Jefferson

TJ: Tyranny!

 I have been brought back to discuss the question of Tyranny?

 (walks towards the table, picks up paper)

 When I composed this declaration, part of it's purpose was to release ourselves from tyranny!

 We were convinced that we could operate independently from our moth...

Last night, I had a rare privilege.

Many years ago,, a young guitar player heard my music and was inspired by the fact that I wrote my own music..

Since then, this very fine gentleman named Van Wagner has released 32 albums.

Last night he had a CD release party at a nice venue in Jim Thorpe, PA. for his new album, Sing Out.

He invited me and a few others to jam with him after he performed the whole new album live.

For him, he gets to jam with one of his inspirer...

Views from people are mixed on this one - and, I'll guess you thought Donald Trump divided the country?

As I posted on my facebok page, not everybody believes life begins at inception.

Different people have different views and the Constitution of The United States guarantees people the right to have different opinions.

The laws of this country should not be dictated by religious doctrine as there is a separation of church and state.

Last week, I went into New York City to see the opening night performance of the Bradway play POTUS.

It's a funny political satire - kind of like Saturday Night Live, backstage at The Whitehouse!

Well, things at my day job have become a little different.  We're understaffed.

It bothers me that the time I put into my job interferes with my creativity.

At least I can find the time to run my rado show, TV show and scribble down my thoughts on blogs.

I need to find time for my piano and guitar composing.

I guess this isn't as bad as when we all had the shutdown.

All I did back then was work and sleep!

After a very long time, the show is in preproduction for a complete series.

New scripts are being written and actors are being auditioned for roles in the upcooming filming.

The original pilot was aired internationally and has won an award.

It focuses on a local actor who also works as a celebrity impersonator.

Where is he in life?

Where is he going?

And, how is he going about it?
