I'm joking, of course. Not many men really want to be like the Boston Legal TV show character played by William Shatner. But, I think most men would like to have a solid friendship with another man, as Denny has with his friend Alan Shore (portrayed by actor James Spader). Each man puts aside his individual politics and agendas and accepts the other for as a true friend. I think we men generally have a hard time with that. I, for one, have many friends, but nothing like what I would call a "best friend." It seems men are more hard-wired for my situation, ...

Today's surgery was a success. Went in at 7:15 AM for a 7:45 AM appointment. The volunteer at the station pulled out my paperwork and asked me to take a seat.

When the kids at home returned from school today, ...

Did you watch the new teaser trailer above for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Looks pretty cool, huh? I've always been a fan of the Indiana Jones character and the movies, although I'll be the first to admit that the Temple of Doom was the worst of the bunch. Nonetheless, Harrison Ford has done a great job making this character his own. I'm eager to see how he pulls this off, some 20 years since the last movie.
