(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Death, death, death, death and more death...

3) Local Loco.
Give your community a hug and a kiss. If we make our homes 
places of peace, love and creation, all of this political bullshit will be 
much more manageable, really. You can start with something as 
simple as singing out loud. Come on! You know you like it! Open 
your windows, and sing. And if your neighbors are all assholes, 
congratulations! They probably feel the same thing. That is a great 
place to start.

4) Local Music
       This evening was less about the music and more about my total lack
       of orienteering skills. Driving from SFV to Eagle Rock is a simple task
       unless I am the solo operator of the vehicle. By the time that I
       reversed field and found the goddamn venue, my sane brain was long-
       gone for the night. Entering the converted church with its xeriscape
       landscaping, I made for a soft chair and began reciting my most
       self-nurturing mantra to no avail. When the first band began to
       assemble onstage, 2 hours late, I resisted urges to hurl anti-mantras
and instead fled to carne casa Oinkster, just down the street. The
show should have been great. Some said it was.

Thanks for listening and reading. I hope you had fun. I probably did. NOW GET BACK TO WORK!!

We didn't pay anyone to play the opening music from Cake (Wheels off of Pressure Chief). Or the close tune, either, for that matter (Mr. Scruff playing Hot Tuna, I think). Our bad. Of course, nobody paid us either, so...?

Tiger or Phil or the field?

Yes, Virginia, there certainly are more golfers than Tiger. But you wouldn't know it to hear Golf Channel reporters. They unanimously spiked Twitter comments from viewers requesting more diversity on the broadcast.

"They just don't get it," intoned Marketing Analyst #1, He (Tiger) has more majors than any active player."

I guess if all viewers follow ad revenue actuarial statistics more than The Love of The Game this would be true. But some of us still spring from the Francis Ouimet Cinderella School and just like seeing good shot-making and following who is hot at the time. Golf Channel would serve their own audience more by responding to, say, Charlie Wi, who covers Northern Cal demographics as well as the over-40 crowd.

Whadaya think?
