Update...

Since I haven’t posted much lately I thought I might give a general update on things I have previously discussed.
Art Buchwald is still alive and writing in a Washington Area Hospice long after his hospice benefits have run out.
A prominent renal specialist predicted in early March that 3 months was the longest a dialysis patient could live without treatment. Art stopped his dialysis on February 6.
Sean Casey who is making $ 8.5 million this year played in only 9 games for the Pirates this season before injuring his back in a fluke accident at first base. He was hitting .313 at the time. He is not expected back on the field until July.
No one has spotted an “ivory billed woodpecker” in
Arkansas since I wrote about the search last November 26. Since that excitement however the Georgia Department of Natural Resources has suggested one might be seen in their Okefenokee Swamp if one searched there. The last time a ivory billed was seen in Georgia was 1942.
Also the Government of Cuba is asserting that there might still be ivory billed woodpeckers on their island where they were observed in the last century.Exxon Mobil and Sunoco continue in their profit making ways. That subject is my number 1 hit reference followed still by Coach Cowher’s infidelities, the “snap on smile”, and Tiger Woods.
My laptop came back safely yesterday. The repair summary said it had a “defective hard drive” which was replaced. The whole process didn’t cost me a dime and the computer is working like new and better than it ever did. Of course I lost “everything”, but was prudent enough to save anything important to me before I sent it off. I don’t recommend this for anyone else but I saved my series of important links by posting them on this site using the “draft” instead of “publish” option.
Hang in there Art..

I wish Art the best of luck with this. My father was on dialysis. What a horrible thing 2 have 2 go thru, but, atleast there is that!

Sean and the others make 2 much money. I remember a time when players played just 4 the love of the sport!

What a beautiful bird. So colorful.
...of all places, Cuba?

...and I thought the CLEVELAND INDIANS were the only team trying hard to be the worst team in Major League Baseball?

Have a great day my friend!
:]
