RIP MTM Here's a fairly comprehensive article from the NYT today https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/arts/television/mary-tyler-moore-dead.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=second-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

People do this conversationally all the time and comedians do it on purpose sometimes as the resulting juxtaposition can be quite funny. Unfortunately, I've been guilty of unintentionally dangling a few modifiers myself.

There have been many great quarter backs I've had the pleasure to watch over the past sixty years. I think the best QB of their eras is a better way of thinking about it. Johnny Unitas was perhaps the first greatest QB Fran Tarkenton set the standard for being the first truly mobile QB Dan Marino was the greatest pure passer Steve Young set the table for: Joe Montana who eventually won four super bowls Brett Favre was a god in Green Bay Peyton Manning was great in Indy and then again in Denver John Elway was and remains a legend in Denver. Tom Brady will cement his credentials as the greatest of the current era if he wins the Superbowl this year. And yes I left off Terry Bradshaw. He was an important part of a great franchise for several years, but it was always a team win and perhaps that says more about what the sport has become than anything....

I'm not much of a fan of the NFL since Kroenke herded the lambs back to the LA, but I am rooting for the Falcons!

I think you are doing great and should continue to have confidence in yourself to achieve your goals. You take reasonable steps, complete them and move on. Just keep it up and you will succeed, There will be problems along the way, but that is life and you just have to keep working towards your goals. Good luck!

I'm hoping the penultimate chapter posts this weekend.

Mark hopefully has this story all plotted out because if he is making it up as he writes it, we may never have closure on all the plot lines. And if the past is any indication, some may not be resolved until a future book anyway....

I went back and re-read Mr. Trump's speech today and it repeats his familiar refrain of decrying the present and making promises for the future without much substance, except to promise to turn world trade on its head. It did little to reach out to those who did not support him. Nor did it say much to reassure our allies around the world. Thus it begins.

I agree with your sentiments but I have a strong presentiment that he and his majority on the hill will strongly disappoint.

I'm of the opinion that Owen's sister was more impressed with the pictures of them with Sir Elton and his husband than their meeting Bill Clinton. The fact that the principal had little meeting with Sgt. Burke after the conference said a lot and I suspect he will either shape up or be out...

Dinner was an experience different than Escorial but similarly interesting. Dally has his grandpa figured out as well as his other relatives. I wonder along with the rest of your readers who cared (connived) enough to send the care package which is now the prime source for the bomb.

To me the animals were just a sideshow. The clowns, the jugglers, the trapeze and aerial artists were what thrilled me...

Speaking of ice, take a look at the weather channel map picture below from today. I live in Missouri, but pity the poor people in Kansas.... The light blue areas are for snow, the darker pink and lighter pink are for ice accumulations....

Bradley got his Irish up and let his grandpa feel his wrath. It may have been a bit overdone, but Bradley was making sure he got his point across. Hopefully the old bully remembers...

Happy Birthday CassieQ & Many, many more!

Happy Birthday Matt! A quarter-century & here's to several more!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. The sequel is at least a year away. I've just started on a spin off of Dean Warner....

Another perhaps coincidental attack on Brad's friend and the plot gets murkier. Wade handled his sister just right in getting her to see it was in her own best interest to find out what is going on with Alex's father. Apparently the Dalby's are used to being the big dog and don't quite appreciate the wealth of Steff and his family. They certainly don't have a good sense of taste based on the descriptions of their manse. It will be interesting to see if Buzz's son is a younger version or more like his grandpa.... More please!

The Sarge may have got an early pass but I doubt it lasts... The dad disagreement is more about parental worry vs parental support and that means CJ has a couple of exceptional dads. Next Friday is eagerly anticipated.

I can only echo the others in wishing you all the best. Get out and experience as much as you can while you are still young and have the energy. Hopefully, it will give you the stamina to keep going for years to come. I'll be seventy this year and while I have slowed down some, I am not afraid to try or learn new things and continue to enjoy my life.

Krista! & Many, many more!

Was browsing through profiles and saw you were an author and decided to check out your story. It is a good start, but it seems you lost your motivation somewhere along the way. Hopefully, you will get inspired and decide to post some more of it. DDK

My real New Years resolution is easy as I will probably be reminded daily of why I made and intend to keep it. I will never use or join TWITTER.

Dragon is a hoot. Ozzie ending up with a Harley was totally expected. And everyone who followed the news the past 18 months or so should know whose campaign Robbie Mook worked on, although I can't say managed.....
