I just returned from a trip to lovely Erie, PA after visiting my estranged daughter so I’m refreshed and eager to get back writing.

-Erie, PA is a great little town.  It is like Buffalo’s cousin. The one with no friends, body odor and bad breath.

-I can’t wait for the NBA playoffs to start. Kobe may be a whiner but he can dribble on me anytime he wants.

-I was really shocked to hear that Dabney Coleman’s only son Gary had died. Gary was never able to live up to his Dad’s acting ability but he was a swell little actor. Whenever I watched Gary I was never sure if I was laughing with or at the little freak.

-I have a fondness for bubble baths.

-Watching Danny Briere in the Stanley Cup finals has to be eating away at Larry Quinn. He is said to be close to impaling himself on an autographed Don Luce stick.

-Chan Gailey and Buddy Nix have been spotted at the Scotch and Sirloin on recent Saturday evenings. Chan has been wearing a disguise of long black hair braided with pig tails and a see-through evening gown. Buddy has been dressed as a Jockey.

- I love the rain. Sometimes I’ll strip down to my unmentionables and sit on my front lawn for a nature bath.

-I was saddened to hear about the death of Dennis Hopper.  He was great in Porky’s Revenge.

-They say celebrity deaths happen in threes.  I say the next one to go will be John Tesh.
