CNN Online's targeted advertising had me laughing.

CNN Online's targeted advertising had me laughing. A report on allegations of prisoner abuse at Guantanamo. The paid advertisement was for 'Cell Guard (tm)', a health product which allegedly repairs cellular damage. No doubt you'll find their ad on any page which contains the words 'cell' and 'guard'.

After a little over a week, I'd have to say some progress has been made in playing guitar upside-down. Ehr, I mean backwards. Oops I really mean right-side-up. But backwards. Nevermind... It takes about 5-10 minutes each time for the brain to adjust after I sit down with it, but then it gets a bit easier. I can pull off an acceptable blues tune or two now. I know the theory. I kinda' know where my fingers should go. It's just all backwards. Ehr I mean right-side-up. At any rate the brain is pretty loopy from trying to figure it all out.

around freely, not spooned down someone's throat for their own good by a
Jewish mother who cooked it all by herself.
