Apparently, I'm Not Too Old For Musical Crushes...
Here I am, folks, four months after my most Recent LJ post, to announce that I have a new music/comedy/internet crush. You'd think, at age 56, that I'd be too Old for that sort of thing; but something in me begs to differ. It happens to be this guy, one of the Younger sensations on Youtube.

When Looking for Work, Start With What You Really Want First...
Okay, LairCronies, here's the Crusty cynic/codger in me speaking...

What Needs Updating, and What is Adorable...
So, here I am in the Belltown Pub (see previous post), wondering why LJ has two Different posting/editing systems. I really don't need more than one at a time, thanks.
