Seeds of Wisdom: "There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write." -- William Makepeace Thackeray
I was sorry to see that Shelley Powers took down her web log. I understand her reasons, but she will be missed! I'm leaving her in my Blog role under a new category - gone, but not forgotten - in hopes that she will return.
I know it's not Monday, but I have a pet peeve for the Kurmudgeon's Korner:
I think there ought to be a law that prohibits stylized singing of our National Anthem. Some singers who perform the duty of singing the National Anthem at sporting events ought to have their vocal chords revoked. This constant warbling and dragging out the notes forever just to showcase their talent drives me nuts. And people - it's not a funeral dirge. If you visit the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. you will hear the Anthem played at its proper tempo, which is very upbeat and inspiring. Taking twenty minutes to sing it at dirge tempo does nothing to inspire me. It makes me want to throw a shoe instead. So cut it out!
Probably should change Kurmudgeon's Korner to Katmudgeon's Korner since I am Kat, not dog <g>
