  • while on my evening news cruise (currently I hit www.salon.com, www.slate.com, www.motherjones.com, www.cnn.com, and www.nytimes.com ; I am up for any other worthwhile news sites, any recommendations?) the other night, I read that Richard Crenna died.


    This saddens me. I always have remembered him as the army bigwig guy from the Rambo movies (yes, I like Rambo, yes, I own all three...and indeed I have worn out my copy of the first Rambo, before you make judgement calls, the first Rambo is not at all like the stereotyped second and third Rambo movies, indeed Rambo doesn't actually even kill anyone in the first movie...it is a great deal more about flashbacks and the impact of Vietnam on the veterans of that war...anyway, enough) back to Richard Crenna...I was surprised as hell to find out that he had starred in a lot of things, he was an early radio star as a child and he had been guest starring on Judging Amy...


    I have no idea really where I was going with this post. Just surprised I guess...apparently he also played a cop who was sexually assaulted.


    *shrug* otherwise...I'm cold. Very Cold. Cold with a capital C...I could probably capitalize the whole word and not feel any guilt about hyperbole. Ohio is frozen. They were cancelling and/or delaying all the public schools this morning (-12 I believe with the windchill in the outlying parts of Columbus, closer to -5 in the interior of the city where I live in the ghetto...in the ghetto ... sorry, I always have to sing that in my head, I think it's Elvis...). Today the temperatures continue to fall all the way until late evening...**shiver** However, we do get a bit of a break next week around about Wednesday when it will defrost just enough to rain...and then refreeze again the next day.


    Can it be summer time yet? Heck...even anything other than negative temperatures! I accidentally viewed temperatures in celsius the other day...WOW...I at least feel more optimistic with the farenheit scale...
