Fall peak

Autmn has finally peaked, and it will be gone before the end of the week. Heh. I wasn't really trying to rhyme there, I just plucked it out of the air. (That one I was trying to rhyme.)

Driving home from Baltimore on Sunday, the Maryland roadside was awash in fall color. At the zenith of the Delaware Memorial Bridge crossing into New Jersey, the Garden State scenery was a patchwork of autumn splendor along the bay. The southern stretch of the NJ Turnpike ��the section that has trees � featured a roadside tapestry of golds, oranges and greens flying by my car windows.

And driving around these cramped north Jersey towns the last two days, I've been struck by the brilliance of the trees, particularly with the shine brought to them by the recent rain. Hillside roads and yards are blanketed in yellow from the leaves, recently knocked off the trees by the wind and rain. It's that time of year that driving requires extra caution because the wet roads and slick leaves can make for difficult stopping. It's just another reason I wouldn't want to move somewhere devoid of seasons.


So apparently Barry White needs a new kidney. I hope he gets it.

We got it together, didn't we babe? ... Can I get a kidney? You're the first, the last, my kidney.


I think there's something fishy with the recent statements attributed to Osama bin Laden. They've either been solely audio recordings or written, but not videotaped as in the past.

The first thought is that he's dead and the tapes are fabrications, completely constructed electronically or using an imposter. The other is that they're authentic voice recordings and statements, but he's too weak to appear on camera for fear of his followers losing faith or deserting him. That one might just be close to the truth.


There is hope for the world. Glitter grossed a whopping total of $4.2 million at the box office. Of course, those pessimists will say that particular number is about $3,999,992 too high. Seriously, the only person who should have been forced to see that movie is the man who said, "Mariah Carey in a movie about a singer who wears glitter? I say, GREEN LIGHT!" He should be forced to watch it over and over in hell, just like Sisyphus with his boulder.
