- The Blue Madonna by Carlo Dolci
- Charles Bukowski and his poem “Roll the Dice”

Are you old enough to remember when home video cameras first started to become popular and people started bringing them to parties or family things and somehow, whenever a video camera entered the situation, people changed. You could be having a good meal or conversation and everyone would be relaxed and then some uncle would come through with the say-hi-to-the-camera bit and nervous people got more nervous, and outgoing people turned on the charm, and those in-between just kinda stiffened up and waved “hi” because they didn’t know what else to do?

Happy Festivus! Celebration for Everyone on December 23

Happy Festivus, You $#&$@ers!
I love it when television becomes our reality. In my opinion, when it comes to injecting TV reality into pop culture, no other show can hold a holiday candle to Seinfeld. Recently, an inmate in LA prison embraced the made-up holiday Festivus, from Seinfeld’s 1997 season, to enhance his dining experiences in the clink. Good for him and Happy Festivus to the free and the less-than-free. Air your grievances, everyone, because it is a holiday for the rest of us.
