An Almost Snowy Day
02/10/2002 - 10:48 p.m.
It was looking like it was going to snow today. In fact, it did snow for about three minutes. Then it kinda half-rained. Then it did nothing. This would have been a good day for a nice steady snowfall. Or a good solid rain. But this "looking like it is going to snow and then not snowing" thing was a big let down all the way around.

In other news, I am getting some real weird vibes about my dad these days..... all sorts of things are reminding me of him... making me think about how much I really do miss him... which as I've said before is a new kinda experience... and not entirely a pleasant one........
I was watching a very old taped-off cable video of Jerry Lewis's "Visit To A Small Planet" yesterday. Granted that this is not one of Jerry's greatest solo outings, but it still has the classic beatnik coffeehouse scene, and is thus worth every minute of yer time.
The thing is - there was a commercial at the end that just reduced me to absolute jello. I was playing with the cats, and thus didn't get to the remote right away, and this commercial that our local telephone company used to run came on. It was the worst kind of rank sentimentalism - all these men talking about their fathers, and how they like to call them to chat about sports, or what have you..... Now, obviously, this is intended to tug at the heartstrings, and normally I like to scoff at such stuff, projecting an attitude of super cool and above-it-all-ness, but danged if it didn't do exactly what they wanted, because the last thing any of 'em says is, "My dad still calls, just to say, 'How's my boy?'"
Needless to say, ole Red just about bust a gut at that point......
Now, it has been commented on by at least one viewer that ole Red has his own special set o' curses, and ya don't often see any of that newfangled "obscenity" or "profanity" in Mistakes And Other Delights, but in this case, I'm gonna have to make an exception:
Those motherfuckers really tore my heart out with that one.
Don't they know that there's folks in this world who'd give just about anything to have that happen just once?
Yeah, Red, they know, but - wutta they care? They got phone service to sell.
Motherfuckers.
