Semi-random thoughts
- I received an e-mail at my male e-mail address from a pro-women's rights organization to which have contributed in the past. It read
Dear xxxxxxxxx,
where xxxxxxxxx is my male first name. I guess they don't think they have any male supporters. Or maybe they just don't think.

We applied for it in 1998 when my wife got a job in New Jersey, so we bought a car. At long last there will be no more hunting for a spot on the street. Hooray! The only thing is, my wife retired nine years ago, and we got rid of the car.
- I see that tickets to Radio City's Christmas show go on sale next week. I think that's rushing the season more than a little.
