I went to the Washington Capitals message boards today and this set of messages was cycled to the top. I hadn’t seen this thread and set of posts until just now. Click here to understand. This was not a great way to start my morning.

NOW I Understand Why the President Won’t Come to a Game :-)
He must have asked our Vice President or “Sam” here for advice and they told him, “Don’t go to any place that is confined like an arena or take Metro to the game or shake anyone’s hands.”
This is why I mostly disrespect authority. I will do the exact opposite of what our VP says. I will be at all of our games. I encourage people to take the Metro and I will shake about a thousand hands at the arena. I will breathe in all of the excitement; share in the aura; and bask in our humanity together.
Weekend Viewing Pleasure
The Girl in the Leopard Print Bikini.
Here is a fun film for baby boomers, the story of Bettie Page. See what passed as risque and sexy in the 50′s. Check it out this weekend – for free – on SnagFilms. Click here and enjoy.
Rip-off and a Compliment
As I noted, Twitter is a great product but a derivative of the original AIM status update environment.
And 6 years ago, we launched AIM Fight. Click here to play.
And now here is an AIM Fight rip-off for Twitter. Click here. See any resemblance?
Everything old is new again.
But I don’t want to hear about how cool and innovative this stuff is. As a grizzled old media vet said to me, ”Same crap - different bag.”
Blushing
Don’t get too high with the highs or too low with the lows is my motto.
Here is an article that is so sweet and nice and positive that I had to republish it here. It is over the top and I am humbled, flattered and appreciative. And I promise when I next get skewered in the media, I will republish that article too to be fair and balanced. Click here to read this one.
Thank you so much for this positive and generous article. That was a nice scene in the locker room and I am also appreciative of you not noting that I did kiss Alex on the cheek as well as a thank you for the first series victory. How can you NOT love this kid?
