Anyone know what's happened to our man in Richmond?  There are many matters presently under discussion on the board which cry out for his youthful perspective, not to mention his wit and wisdom.

[with apologies to Johnny Carson]: Joe Friday: Ma'am, I'm looking for your son, Seeker.   Seeker's Mom: Here's not here, Sgt. Friday.  He went to the repair shop with his prize beaker.   JF: Seeker's beaker was broken?   SM: It had gotten weaker.  He'd accidentally cracked it by kicking it with his sneaker.   JF: You mean . . .   SM: Yes, it was a leaker.   JF: So let me get this straight: Seeker has taken the weaker beaker cracked by the sneaker to the repair shop because it was a leaker?    SM: That's right, but you forgot one thing.   JF: What's that ma'am?   SM: As a result of this experience, Seeker's a whole lot meeker.

Thanks for providing the best laugh of the day, and fond memories of the great Johnny Carson.

He's a middle-aged married dude. Plus he's rude and hateful.

I didn't realize I was so missed. Since there are those who have asked for an update on my ramblings, I can assure you that I am faithfully married. Plus, I doubt Mrs. Cooley would leave the good Judge for an upstart like myself.

For those who have asked, I am 27, until next month when I turn 28. July 21st to be exact, I will gladly accept any gifts that you would like to give. Just leave them in Section C, Row 15, Seat 7 in MM Roberts Stadium, I will collect them in the shroud of darkness.
