Hey drivers — I won’t listen to music while running if you don’t talk or text on your cell phones.

Congrats to the glad grad!
Covered in glory, with $16,000 per year in scholarships for college (which is still going to cost a lot), Eric is now officially a high school graduate.

Return of the running fool
The doctor said it would take up to six months for my knee to heal, and he was right. It’s almost back to normal, and I’m starting to run again, stepping over the chipmunk roadkill that’s common this time of year.
Spencer for hire
Sometimes I think every Hollywood romance — or are they just relationships? — is manufactured. It’s amazing how much coverage they get, especially when there’s a split. It’s as if the breakup is scheduled to occur at a particular time, to get the pair back in the news, after they start to slip from the public’s radar. I don’t know Spencer Pratt, and if he’s a relative of mine I don’t know it, and I’ve never seen anything he’s ever done.
Happy vending
The vending machine at work had a surprise. A huge 5-oz package of cookies for only $.90. That couldn’t be right, I said to myself. It had to be a mistake. But here I sit, eating Basil’s Bavarian Bakery Duplex Sandwich Cremes. No, I’m not eating the whole package in one sitting!
Netflix flub
As you can see, I’ve been using Netflix for over six years.
In all this time I’ve never had a problem with Netflix. Until now.
We rented ‘Blade Runner: The Final Cut’ on Blu-ray, and the disc was defective. It froze at a certain spot and wouldn’t recover. (Yeah, yeah… I cleaned it and tried again, etc.) So I returned it and asked for a replacement. They sent a high-def disc, but it was in the defunct HD-DVD format! I returned the disc, indicating it had been mislabeled. So what did they send? Another HD-DVD copy. Grrrr…
This time I called and actually got to speak with someone. “Destroy this disc!” I told him. I’m not going to bother asking for another copy from Netflix. I think Bismo owns ‘Blade Runner: The Final Cut’ on DVD. We’ll watch that.
BTW, Best Buy and the Sony outlet stores have stacks of the BDP-N460 Blu-ray player for only $140. If you can use Ethernet instead of Wifi for streaming video, that’s an incredible deal.
