Oops! I'll have to fix that. We went to Brown Institute together for a while. Here's how Brown worked. Every month a new class began and ever month those who had been there for 9 months graduated. Wayne beat me to Brown by several months and left to begin his career while I had months to go. At one time, if you were a broadcaster in the five-state mid-west (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North & South Dakota) the chance that one, if not all, of your colleagues was a grad of B-I were almost 100%. I remembered quite clearly that Wayne worked in Cedar Rapids, but I had forgotten that we worked together in Austin, Minnesota. (What did I do to kill all those brain cells?) I also forgot his visits while I was KDWB and KSTP. (Do Big Macs kill brain cells?) Now I will have to pick Wayne's brain and grab my webmaster and do some editing and correcting. He also had some pix and I'll link to them this week in a comment....

Damn! I have to write to my friend Claudia...NOW she wrote to ask me if I'm in a coma....

BTW...the Vikings win last night was dirty but welcome. Just one question....Whose idea was it to kick to Reggie Bush?

My fav is the meat/mushroom.

Even thohe was born in Russia, S. came to the US and fell in love with surfing. He asked me for a cigarette on Ocean Beach and before the year was out got me into a wet suit. THAT'S a story for another time.

Yesterday afternoon I went to the movie Apaloosa with my brother. About 15 minutes into the movie I leaned over to Tim and said, "I LOVE this movie." Just a hard-core western and I didn't want it to end.]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2008 10:20:13 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247#comment http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247
Other shows I never miss: THE UNIT-Sunday night CBS. It is fantastic. I thought they canceled it but it survived. Only problem is (except on the West Coast) the football always runs late and the show never begins on time. Bad for setting DVR. The first two shows were both 9.5's on a scale of 10.

I like NCSI, Criminal Minds, CSI-New York....I feel badly if I miss any of them.

I have totally given up on: LOST, HEROES, CSI-Miami, Prison Break. If you continue to watch them....well.....what can I say?]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2008 21:06:12 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247#comment http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247 oh-me...or:

I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I hear how the host pronounces it. Anyway, I love the opera and like a football game it is better on TV than it is at the park (Theater). Unless you have Superman's telescopic vision ( he had that didn't he?) you are much more up-close and personal in a movie theater watching the singers in 25-foot high close-ups.

Went to lunch alone and had a great salad. Surprisingly, I wasn't surrounded by anybody particularly weird. It was a gray day with a little rain spit ever so often. I actually love cloudy days and I look forward to the end of day-light savings time and the early darkness. "I love the night-life..I love to boogie".....Doesn't Salome deliver John the Baptist's head to Herod? I'll find out tomorrow. That name strikes me funny. I KNOW the reason for it....but when I hear it I always think of John the Methodist...or John the Presbyterian....or John the Christian Scientist. Didn't Salome dance the dance of the seven veils? I'll find out tomorrow, I guess. Boy! Tomorrow I'm going to learn a lot. Tomorrow...tomorrow...I love yah tomorrow....you're always.........excuse me. I feel like I have to throw up.]]> Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:46:23 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247#comment http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247

They pronounced it: Sal-oh-may.Her Pic John the Baptist was actually called The Prophet Jochanaan. Of course there was the lecherous Herod and Salome's mother Herodius. It began at noon and I was home before 2:30P....That is a short opera.

In this production, I should say, that Salome did less of the Dance Of The Seven Veils and more of a lap-dance for Herod. Jochanaan lost his head because he wouldn't kiss Salome. Jochanaan's head actually spent more time on stage than Jochanaan himself. But, Jochanaan took the curtain calls and the head took none.

In 1989 I came very close to playing the head in a production of The Robber Bridegroom. After only two days of rehearsal I lost my job as the head and took up the role of Clemment Musgrove. Much better even though my head was quite adequate.]]> Sat, 11 Oct 2008 19:37:50 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247#comment http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247 Sun, 12 Oct 2008 14:33:25 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247#comment http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247 Sun, 12 Oct 2008 15:24:41 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247#comment http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247
Well, the Vikings had a dirty win this afternoon. And Chicago lost too. A pretty good day for football. Damn! Green Bay won. In my personal opinion, the TV announcers on the Vikings game were hard-corps rooting for the Lions. It was pretty obvious. Sure, there is a question about the pass-interference call in the 4th Quarter..but....I am partisan enough to take a win in ANY WAY.

Sunday night is turning out to be a pretty good TV night. As long as Keith Olbermann is on NBC Football I refuse to watch it. Unless I really want to. Then, if I catch his bit by mistake I just close my eyes and go "la la la la la la" until I think he's finished. But....DEXTER and The Unit are both good shows. And when baseball is finished...The Simpsons and Family Guy. (Except last week. When I saw the promo and all the Jesus stuff I just skipped it. It still amazes me how Christianity is such a convenient subject for sacrilege. If they tried that with Allah they'd be killed!)

Well.....I'll open a new thread tomorrow and see what happens THIS week. Hope you are all content.]]> Sun, 12 Oct 2008 20:57:03 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=247#comment
