A Single Carrot, Freshly Observed

I've let the blogging slide a bit over the past few days. 

I've been coughing.  I've been in New York.  I've been happily slammed by the flood of relatives rushing in for winter vacation.  I've been inarticulately raving in my head about profit as an illusion.  I've been asked where I'd fit into a world in which all businesses already operate sustainably.  I've been listening to Cake.

And I've been keeping up an email correspondence that just revealed this link.

If you didn't catch it the first time, click again; watch closely; and read quickly.

The One from His Days on the Circuit

This is why I blog.

So much fun to see one of your crazy thoughts spark a totally independent but equally crazy thought in someone else.

Conversation at its late night best works that way.

Thank You Doogie Howser

An old colleague just sent me an email accusing me of watching Doogie Howser, MD.  Unclear exactly what she was implying, but it was in response to my suggestion that she get an email address that does not betray her '80s-level technological capabilities.  She still rocks the dot AOL.  And not nostalgically or for humor.

Anyway, her email led me to think for a moment about Dr. Howser, and that thinking turned into this response:

My childhood sitcom trajectory was very simple: Cosby Show to Fresh Prince to Seinfeld.  I made the occasional while-we're-at-it foray into Cheers and Friends and A Different World and Blossom, but never did any of those capture my imagination the way Bill and Will and Jerry did. 

Capturing the imagination.  That's a weird expression.

Anyway, I do remember that Doogie kept a journal on the computer, and I remember thinking that that was totally cool.  Doogie Howser, MD introduced me to blogging.
