Kryptonite discovered

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

kryptonite

For those of us who had been keeping the secret since that first move came out in 1978, our cover is blown! It is time now to come out and let the world know:
There are a few of us SUPERMANES (in spanish – the termination gives the title a little more ooomph) wandering around out there.

Some scientists have said that The real mineral is white and harmless, says Dr Chris Stanley, a mineralogist at London’s Natural History Museum. “I’m afraid it’s not green and it doesn’t glow either – although it will react to ultraviolet light by fluorescing a pinkish-orange….” ummm, well it’s harmless to you Mr. Stanley, why, because you’re not SUPER, like us…

Now someone go and pick up the kryptonite and FedEx it overnight to the North pole, I’ll make it there just in time.

Farewell Mr. Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut, whose dark comic talent and urgent moral vision in novels like “Slaughterhouse-Five,” “Cat’s Cradle” and “God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater” caught the temper of his times and the imagination of a generation, died Wednesday night in Manhattan. He was 84 and had homes in Manhattan and in Sagaponack on Long Island…

Beat the Horse…Dead

Friday, March 30th, 2007

I just wanted to quickly thank Coche for blazing this new trail, and allowing me to saddle up and get back on the horse after falling off almost two years ago.

Why take the reins now? Is this simply a carrot on a stick?

No, no, my trusty steads. There’s a very old Mexican proverb that I just found on the Internet. It says, “It is not enough for a man to know how to ride; he must know how to fall.” My roots are speaking to me. They watched me walk and trot. They know I can prance with airs above the ground and gallop like the wind.

My intentions are to feed this blog with only the finest hay. To extend its lunge line and cut it loose. To make this gelding into a stallion.
And as with the previous trail of tears (www.g-digit.com), I don’t expect everyone to follow. There will be broken hooves and apple picking (not of the fruit variety). It’s up to you to break us in. But as Winston Churchill once said (also recently found on Internet), “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” Which outside part, I am unsure of, but I implore you to grab on and see where we go. It should serve as an oasis in the Arabian desert that is your life

But as they say, you can only lead a horse . . .
