Dave has some fashion tips today:
When you go out to buy some pajamas to blog in be aware that not all pajamas are created equal. While there are many fine pajamas out there, watch out for imposters of inferior quality and materials and keep in mind that price isn’t always an accurate measure of quality.
I didn’t realize there was color film during The Great War.

When I went to the golf course this morning, the air was wet and cold. But by noon, the sky had cleared and it turned into a beautiful day.
I haven’t played in three weeks–too many happenings at the Mulligan house. And the work continued today. Yesterday I tried to partition the HUGE hard drive on Mrs. Birdie’s computer, and the machine crashed. Today I returned to try and get it going again. I finally got Windows reinstalled, moved some shortcuts around, and it crashed once again. That, along with building some shelves for her and doing the weekend grilling ate up all my time, and her computer is still down. Birdie had not made the rescue disks before he left, so we ordered them direct and will get the machine back to work in the next day or so.
Golf? Started out with two pars and a bogey, then didn’t get another par until the 13th hole (the beautiful 3-par view in the link above). I managed to par several more before finishing, but my score wasn’t anything to brag about. I did hit a bunch of fairways, and outdrove all in my group most of the time. A few chunky iron shots really ruined my score.
But, I PLAYED GOLF TODAY!
I finished browsing the wonderful book I received from Violet’s parents for Christmas, Golf, As It Was in the Beginning. I intend to keep it on my nightstand within easy reach. It is really a beautiful layout, and has interesting commentary on the various Open Championship venues. I’ll pick it up frequently.
I’ve added Constitutional Chaos to the reading rotation. In my view, Andrew Napolitano is the kind of jurist we need to have on the Supreme Court. Knee-jerk reaction from some folks will be, “He’s a right-wing shill who works for FoxNews!” Well, they’re half right. He is the Senior Judicial Analyst for FoxNews. He is also considered conservative. But his views would have more than a few conservatives spinning in their chairs. He is very much the libertarian and Constitutional scholar who believes the words in that document mean what they say.
Thus far I’ve read only the introduction, but his analysis already has me questioning some of my own opinions.
And that’s a good thing.
Roger L. Simon points out that Oakland mayor, and former California Governor Jerry Brown now has a blog.
And from what I just read there, it will be a good one. He’ll attract a wide range of visitors who will challenge his irreverence–from both sides. And he’s man enough to handle it. Roger wonders if the comments will remain open long, but thinks they may. Already the debate begins–on Wal-Mart of all things. Just a little off-topic!
Just a quick taste for those of you wondering whether to visit:
Bloggers are a force. The established order of politics (EOP) and the MSM face a big challenge from this fearless army. Tragically, in some countries, the challenge is met by enforced silence.
Frank is asking the question. I posted my response over there. Sorry, I’m not as humorous as others.
