Green Valley Moments

All (three) of my favorite network shows are now showing reruns; I have seen every Seinfeld episode, some as many as three times; and now I learn that Kris Pickel is leaving for Sacramento.

OK, I realize that ABC has to make some money, and yes, the last few minutes of the race was commercial free, but give me a break! If […]

I watched some TV last night. Here’s some of what I heard:
• September 11, 2001
• weapons of mass murder
• wood chips
• switch grass
• line-item veto
• hopeful
and here’s some things I was wanting to hear, but didn’t:
