New "American Idol" Podcast

March 28, 2008

Includes my heartfelt plea for no more Heart covers, and Malcolm on "God Bless the USA." Also, a reminder that "Every Breath You Take" is a stalker song, which led to an office discussion of a "stalker week" on "American Idol." I may have a longer post about that later. But for now, enjoy [...]

Friday Morning Notebook

March 28, 2008

Rory Block, from her website
I have finally caught "Jericho" and hope to have a few words about that later. And I am sorting through my memories of Abby Mann, the writer for movies and TV, who has died.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I had a speaking engagement last night, to the Tire Town chapter of the International Association of Administrative Professionals, and I had an excellent time.

Tuesday Morning Notebook

March 25, 2008

– Britney Spears was perfectly OK on "How I Met Your Mother." If we had not been watching BRITNEY SPEARS, then we'd probably have looked at her and thought, "that actress is kind of funny."
