How to be branded unpatriotic 1
It's simple. All you have to do is suggest the Thunderbirds are an expensive public relations stunt and note that you would rather the Department of Defense found a better use for that money.
Encounters with strangers
So I was in a long line at a post office. To be expected this week. A couple of women who had completed their transactions individually offered cheery assurances to those of us waiting that the line moves quickly. Easy to say when you are…

If you had to pick Coen brothers or cats
Which would you choose? If you do not want to have to make that choice, do not listen to this half-hour interview. I would not call it riveting radio, but the moviemakers do reveal that they are utterly oblivious to the charms of felines. Amazingly…

"The Bed Jacket"
If you have heard of a "bed jacket," I am willing to bet there is a good chance it is because you are familiar with an episode of "The Andy Griffith Show" that first aired on Dec. 17, 1962. "The Bed Jacket" was a wonderfully…
Do you deny ever liking Hall & Oates? 9
Whatever you say. In any case, this was the No. 1 song on this date in 1982. www.newdust.com
The real reason some avoid downtown 4
They cannot parallel park and do not want anyone to know.
TVs in waiting rooms: Yes or no? 6
I'll start the voting with a big "No." Too many things can, and do, go wrong.
Just wondering
Did you watch this knowing that a few scenes from the 2002 Ohio State/WSU game were certain to appear? www.elevenwarriors.com

Why you read year-end Top 10 arts lists 2
A) To confirm your own excellent tastes in TV shows and movies. B) To scoff. C) To find recommendations. D) To be able to say, with puzzling pride, "I've never heard of any of these." E) Depends on your relationship with the critic in question.…

This date in "Twilight Zone" history
"A Most Unusual Camera" first aired on Dec. 16, 1960. Some small-time crooks acquire a camera that takes pictures of the near future. There's probably no need for a 53-year-old spoiler alert. But let's just say the magic camera proves to be too much of…
If you turn 40 today
This was the No. 1 song on the day you arrived. www.eil.com Do you remember George Costanza singing this in "Seinfeld"? "Oh, hey............."
Happy birthday, Jane Austen
Without your book, these two would not have met. www.bbc.co.uk
Combat in bitter cold weather 2
I seriously doubt that many of us can even begin to imagine. This pivotal battle started on this day in 1944. www.pbs.org
