What can you send me?

Some have asked what to send me, so here are ideas. This is not a solicitation, by the way, it's a list for those who have asked. I can live without any of this...people all over the world do every day, they just don't realize they're living lives half-lived.

Tide with bleach
Adams Peanut Butter (chunky preferred)
Dill pickles
Crystal Light
cds crafted by your own two hands
Caribou Blend
Video tapes of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart
People magazine coverage of the Oscars
Mr. T's Bloody Mary Mix
Hints on favorite places to visit in England (and the continent)

That's enough for now. I'll think more and get back to you.

Warning! Warning! Those video tapes of Jon Stewart may or may not work. Britain has some whole other format for video. You'll drop the tape in your VCR expecting to see the sexiest "newscaster" on television and all you'll get is, um, nothing. I'm sorry. This is true for DVDs also - many are region coded and will not play back on the machines of your British friends and neighbors. Better you stream what you can from The Daily Show web site and save the space for over things like nonprescription hay fever medicine and brownie mix.

I, too, miss Jon's affections. Imagine the reunion we will have when I return stateside in the spring!

True, true, you need videos in PAL format. (US format = NTSC). I didn't know the same was true for DVDs though.

Min,
Email me your address and I'll send you the special, limited edition, double CD birthday party mix that we are giving away as party favors! As an added bonus, it has pictures of both Sharon and I as toddlers in matching swimsuits!

Ways other than Paul Blart and lipstick to combat economic depression

They say that, when the economy tanks and you can't see any way through your pile of bills and are wondering who you'll look wearing one of those barrels with shoulder straps, women buy lipstick and everyone goes to upbeat, escapist movies to take their minds off their troubles. But I'm here to tell you that any lipstick worth having is nigh 'bout $20 or more and you'll just end up regretting it, and Hollywood has not caught up with the times yet. Plus, it's Oscar season, so once you've seen Slumdog Millionaire your choices are sexy Nazis seducing children, attractive suburbanites mourning the death of their dreams, and nuns and priests talking about child abuse. (That said, I hear Gran Torino is a good diversion with a message, and if you don't hate Brad Pitt as much as I do you could probably sit through that Owen Meany movie where he ages like he's from Ork .) And while I'm as big a Kevin James fan as the next person, you can't ask him

Empathize this

I've got two things on my mind today. First off, I really like Sonja Sotomayor. And I especially like that when discussing his selection criteria for Justice Souter's replacement, President Obama brought up empathy. Empathy is not the same thing as sympathy, compassion or emotion. Empathy is perspective. The idea that our laws have strict, specific definitions that should be considered without perspective is ridiculous. Laws mean something, but they must also be considered in context. That isn't to say they should be applied arbitrarily, or to advocate making exceptions left and right to suit a judge's whim...suggesting laws should be considered in context simply means that the courts must consider how our laws should be interpreted, and how they can make our society a better, more habitable, more functional one. How they can help Americans live their lives without impediment to their personal liberties. Empathy provides the perspective necessary to do this. Judge So
