Got some e-mails from Tara today. It's good to see that someone is reading my blog and taking the trouble to comment, but she didn't use the public comment system. Hmmm... not getting the message, I've decided on a public airing. Don't worry, it's harmless, and besides, I'm hard pressed for topics nowadays.

First: My younger sister took exception to my remark about a "reproving" look at John Allan's funeral. "I recall no reprobation!" she objects. So okay, my bad, it was a sympathetic look. I'm guessing "atheist at a funeral" must be the Chinese ideogram for "defensiveness". (Kinda like the ideogram for "trouble" is "two women under one roof". [ducks a thrown frying pan] )

Second: I am informed that my 50 Foot Woman is no longer available. Checked it out and it's true, she's gone. 'Tis the way of the web, sadly: All links must pass. Acradineaphiles, take note.

Third: About the David Caruso/CSI Miami anthology video. Yup, that rhymes with Horatio, all right (Horatio Caine is the character's name). And he's part-Irish-American. Wonder if he's ever flown Aer Lingus?
