Having seen the imminent (eminent?) demise of personal blogging, I have decided to post my random musings for the day, adding to them as the day drags on. Feel free to join me by adding your own musings. Perhaps we will amuse ourselves a bit. Ha, ha! I crack myself up.

I like French Onion soup. A while back I had a great bowl of it at Big River Grill, which used one of their microbrews in the recipe. Yummy, heart-warming, reminding me of all the French matrons in my life who have urged me to have another helping of Marengo Veal Sauté or Tomates confites. I also had a bowl of Campbell’s Caramelized Onion Soup on Monday, and it could not compare. There’s something different with Campbell’s Select soups lately. They don’t taste as good as they used to.

I didn’t remember that Richard Montalban was Khan. I guess that means I am not a trekkie, even if I wanted to be. How could a fan forget something like that?

I see that it’s 25 below in Lileks neck of the woods.

I also see that Patrick McGoohan has died. There’s a great collection of The Prisoner DVDs at my library. I should watch them sometime, which leads me to …

I have high hopes for the books I will read this year. I’m sure I will be disappointed. The Fates will oppose me. My commitment will lag, waver, weaken, sag, lose strength, go limp, or dare I say bite the big one.

I wonder if the death of personal musing lies at the feet of sentences beginning with “I don’t know” or “I wonder.” Ignorance on display. Not that I know anything about it though.

“Though age from folly could not give me freedom, it does from childishness.” I read that somewhere.

Further musings: Thinking again of those nonce words mentioned in the previous post, I think our country could use full scale upgrade in Reaganeering. Roll back the federal government. Equalize taxes for everyone and focus on leading families to independence, not continued reliance on the state. Let’s see some spade-calling, some sense-making, and a lot of man-handling of the press corp.
