Look at all these old farts who are still kicking around.

Eli Wallach, at 91. Jack LaLane! Les paul, Art Linlkater, Studs Terkel, Karl Malden!

Damn.

I thought ALL those fuckers were pushing up daisies.

Barbara Billingsly is 91, and still probably wonders about the beaver.

Miep Gies. There’s a name to conjure with. How many of us would risk the safety of our own household, our own families, to house and feed refugees?

Former Senator Earl Butz. Who is now living a life of relative comfort, enjoying his retirement with a virtually unending supply of tight pussy, loose shoes, and a warm place to shit.

ocasionally crowbar your halfmoons out of your recliner and travel- at least a little- you never get an idea what is happening beyond… well beyond your recliner.

I have enough gypsy blood in me to long for the open road. I’ve been lucky in the past twenty years to have the kind of work that took me afield, sometimes far afield. I get antsy when I sit still for very long.

Met the Ogwife on the road.

Met my current employer on the road.

Met some of the decentest people in my travels.

I was having a conversation earlier with Jim Dunmeyer, to the extent that long distance drives are not a chore but a pleasure, sometimes less to be endured than enjoyed. I hope to have a chance to meet Jim in person before the end of 07.

There are lots of people I’ve met online and then in person, and to an individual, I’m pleased to know them all.

Start your car. Go somewhere.

Is back.

Well, not really. I mean, you can still catch Opus on sundays in some papers, and online. But you can also see the original series here:.

Now, Berkely Breathed is a closet liberal/libertarian. He has no clue about politics, he’s a damned cartoonist. But his strip was funny, and I always enjoyed it. Maybe not as much as Larson, but hey.

And they’re running the series from the beginning, more or less. You can watch Opus evolve, and watch the characters find their voice.

It’s a nostalgic ride. Take it.
