Who is TED and why is he TALKing?
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
Our Mission: Spread ideas
TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we’re building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers.
TED is owned by a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation. Our agenda is to make great ideas accessible and spark conversation
The link IS my cited source – cut and pasted right from the About tab, baby. It has other information, of course. But for blogging purposes, this is all that is relevant.
I first heard about TED from my children. Luckily, it wasn’t in reference to a guy either of my girls wanted to date. Not ready for that yet. It took awhile to figure out what TED really was without asking too many questions. I’ve learned that if a child is engaged in conversation with you as a parent, don’t ask too many questions. If you do, that conversation is doomed, man.
After that, I learned all I needed to know about TED. My daughter actually forwarded me this TALK. True story. I provided the link for two reasons. First, it is the introductory idea for this bout of Nonsense. Besides, it’s interesting, yet frustrating. Second, it’s your Mission. That is, if you choose to accept it. * Watch some, if not all. And, next post I will share my Random thoughts.
Exciting, eh?!
Probably not!
*Another Mission:Impossible movie is on tap for the summer. I recently watched the trailer. So, I couldn’t resist.

MasterCard Moment – Hold On
number of days without phone service: 9
voice message statistics: 40* messages – 191 hours 33 minutes. Oh, and, 17 seconds
longest hold time: 3 hours (that we know of)
the phrase – it’s a known problem and all available resources are working on it: priceless
My apologies for having another Moment this soon. However, when the material presents itself, it NEEDS to be written. And, this one really is priceless.
Winter Storm Xanto came to town. It snowed from Friday night until at least Monday mid-day. Schools were closed on April 16. I have no idea about snow accumulations. I don’t care. The totals that matter are included above.
Like other businesses on the same grid, our phone service was affected. And, that’s putting it lightly. Neither incoming nor outgoing calls could be received. Bet yet, the Drive-Thru is wired into the intercom system. Translation: Keep on Driving. Thru. No one could even press the fucking ‘CALL’ button. Retail karma’s a bitch, eh?
I can’t make this shit up, man. And, I write fiction. You would think in this day and age of technology this would never be an issue. So what was the issue?
‘wet’ underground cable – between two manhole covers – IS that term PC? – busy roadway – buried in 10 feet of snow pack – underground slopes – on-site generators – vacuum company – 2 feet sludge – maybe my job isn’t so bad – new cable ordered – probably from China – estimated delivery 5 days – cable installed – ticket closed – Who am I kidding? My job really does suck
I realize that 40 messages over 9 days is minimal. Oh, and that * means the mailbox was full. Still, I don’t think that impacted the totals too significantly. Internet E-prescriptions have streamlined communication between pharmacies and prescribers. So, we were able to process those prescriptions. In the past, prescriptions were either given to the patient when seen in the office or phoned in. If that were still the case, we would be under way more more than 2 feet of … sludge.
I could continue ranting about how dumb this whole situation was – especially the customer that said she was on hold for 3 hours. Instead, I decided to have some fun and searched all available resources to find musical selections pertaining to this known problem.
Ring, Ring – ABBA
Answer the Phone – Sugar Ray (Damn it!)
Pick Up the Phone – Travis Scott and Falling In Reverse
Don’t Pick Up the Phone – Kim Carnes – (I opt for this version, of course)
Love on the Telephone – Foreigner (there never was before – after this, never will be either)
Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen (probs not – the video is creepy)
Hold the Line – Toto
Hold On – 24 different artists
Technically, there were 25 songs with that title. However, Little Anthony and the Imperials decided to be optimistic with their rendition – Hold On (Just a Little Bit Longer).
Somehow, they knew that those resources really were working on it!

rethinking the reboot
I grew up watching more weekly television shows than most kids my age. And, Saturday morning cartoons … . They were the bomb. Over time, my viewing opportunities decreased, of course. Though, I still loved the idea of watching a scheduled show. When you’re having a shitty week, knowing that there was something to get you through was nice. Even if it was a 30 minute sit-com.
As I aged even more, my habits changed accordingly. I worked 2, if not 3, nights every week. And, Life happened. I attempted to tape/DVR certain shows. Before long, I was so far behind, it was pointless to continue.
Which brings me to the latest television trend – binge watching. I’m not wired for binge anything – not eating, not drinking, and definitely not watching television. Sounds boring, but I’m fine with it.
Speaking of trending television tendencies, rebooting old shows has become quite the thing to do. I’ve always said that original ideas are hard to produce. Sustaining quality is even harder. Therefore, it’s only natural that freshening up an old network franchise would work.
Not always.
Charlie’s Angels
Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu had the perfect amount of ‘camp’ to pull off these movies. The short-lived television reboot … didn’t.
Fuller House
The Bob Saget weekly fatherly ‘lessons’ set to music made me nauseous. Why would I ever watch it again? Besides, those Olsen twins really weren’t that cute.
Will and Grace
never saw an episode – no real reason.
Rosanne
Not a big fan of Rosanne Barr back then. Not a big fan of Rosanne Barr now, either.
Murphy Brown
The show ran from for 1988 to 1998 – 247 episodes. Over that 10 year run, the show highlighted a running ‘gag’. Murphy Brown had a total of 93 secretaries – all referred to by number in the closing credits.
secretarial antics – Murphy Brown
Diane English, the series creator, wrote and director almost every episode in the first four years. Then, she departed the show to produce a spin off – which spiraled downward. Fast Anyway, after she left, the quality of Murphy Brown took a major hit. Two words – Dan Quayle – potatoes. Okay, that was technically three words. About that same time, I was looking for an out. It was harder and harder to tune in. I think I lasted the next season. Then, I was done.
Alas, 20 years later, a reboot is on tap. Diane English is at the helm and Candice Bergen returns in the title role. However, I probs won’t watch. Bergen portrayed a strong, brash woman taking on, like, everyone – especially the system. Back then, it was funny. Now, that’s the LAST thing I want to watch. She’s older, and undoubtedly brasher. Why would I ever willingly listen to that? I hate woman. Truthfully, I hate everyone. But strong-willed women have really worn me down, man. So much so, that I’m not even curious to see how the whole secretary story line will be handled.
Secretary #94 – Dan Quayle?
“Tempting. But no.”

The Prescription Fairy has competition
A friend of mine works for a popular pharmacy chain that decided to participate in a new fundraiser. First of all, charitable organizations are a duel edged sword. Even if a cause is totally legit, I’m still skeptical. Imagine that, eh? What amount of the money donated is actually going to the recipients who need the funds rather than administrative fees?
shot is the … arm
Case in point – flu shots. Let me rephrase that – fucking flu shots. It’s been established over and over how much I hate flu shots. Every pharmacist I know curses the damn things. However, once I learned what a crock of shit the ‘get a shot, give a shot‘ promotion truly was, my hate escalated. Escalated hate in any situation is bad – especially retail. (Though inflicting pain on happy, delusional people with a sharp needle does help. Somewhat.) According to the chain website, only $0.22 per shot is eventually donated. Retail price for the vaccine is $31.99. That’s not even 1%. It’s frightening how corporate marketing can manipulate verbiage.
Before I continue, let me qualify something. I know nothing about charitable organizations and the governmental parameters that dictate what and how much can be donated. That shot promotion campaign is undoubtedly within guidelines. If it stated something different like – every shot given will help fund vaccinations in under developed nations – my anger would be curbed. Not as much as the joy inflicting pain provides. Still, … .
what’s UP with that*
Funny thing happened to a friend of mine – let’s call her Kimmie – a few years ago. Here in Traverse there is a local organization that is funded by donations from the community. One facet of this Foundation helps people pay for prescriptions if the recipient can’t afford the medication. Kimmie talked with a man who stated this service was going to pay for his prescription. All he needed was to communicate to the representative the price of the medication. Kimmie was upset about this inappropriate allocation of charitable funds. Yet, she had to comply. When the representative called, inquiring about the total price, Kimmie challenged the logic behind payment. The volunteer stated that the Foundation “didn’t pass judgement.” The prescription was for Viagra. When other people’s money is being spent, executive decisions need to be made. That is NOT judgement.
*pun totally intended
celestial rivalry
Back to the incident that started this whole rant. The new promotion at this retail company mandated that every time a vitamin product was sold, 1 % of that sale would go toward providing “life-changing vitamins to undernourished children around the world and here at home“. Here’s the best part – each store was provided a greeting card that employees could sign to send to a randomly selected child. The promotion is called Vitamin Angel.
Thankfully, I’ve already ranted enough. To wrap my brain around this ‘gesture’ is too much for me to put into words. Instead, I laughed. And instantly thought of an ex-technician. She once told a customer that the reason her prescription wasn’t done was because the Prescription Fairy was off duty.
Red Nose anyone?

a first edition blind date
Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read. – Cassandra Clare
My youngest daughter is fifteen and just had her very first blind date. Why am I blogging about such an event? Moreover, why am I so calm? She IS only fifteen.
Well, to be perfectly honest, she has literary-ly been dating for years.
Fictional characters, that is. William “Will” Herondale from Cassandra Clare’s The Shadowhunters series was her first ‘book boyfriend’. Oh, and the blind date? It’s with a paperback. So, that potential parental crisis was resolved even before it began. (sigh of relief)
A Blind Date with a Book is a hand wrapped book, carefully curated from a wide range of popular genres that is tagged with intriguing clues alluding to the book inside. This curated collection includes everything from mystery, romance, classics, horror, adventure, science fiction to young adult.
We pick books that readers may have missed by great authors or other great books that perhaps did not receive the publicity that they deserved. Orders are shipped worldwide and are a great present for yourself or someone else.
Blind Date with a Book began at Elizabeth’s Bookshops in Australia and is now available at Waitrose stores in England.
a different kind of … blind date
This is my reader. The one who sports graphic t-shirts with such phrases as Mentally dating a fictional character and the definition of a Book Hangover. Any potential non-fictional boyfriend could never measure up to these beautifully written characters she so willingly angsts over. Trust me, it’s a good thing. Each character is quite the proverbial train wreck. Poor Mr. Herondale is the quintessential conductor. My daughter would never mess with shit like that in real life. I’m confident she will be quite discerning when it comes to actual dating. (even bigger sigh of relief)
One must always be careful of books.
– Cassandra Clare
Back to this Blind Date with a Book idea. I think it’s way fun.
book dating is less stressful than the ‘blind’ version. Though emotional connections to fictional characters can cause lasting impressions. As a parent, books are definitely preferred – for now, at least.
stop reading if you’re disappointed. On a real date, you at least have to make it through the appetizer course before bailing.
inexpensive – this particular ‘date’ was a BONUS deal leftover from Valentine’s Day. Nowadays, separate checks are becoming the accepted protocol in certain dating situations – that can get expensive.
you can request a ‘second date’ in either scenario.
No awkwardness – chances of ‘bumping into’ a fictional character in a public place are slim if not none.
Her ‘blind date’ was a Harlequin Romance. Even though she is not a fan of the genre, she will probably read it in one evening, enjoying the entire meal. She may even have tea. Then, she will cast it aside, waiting for the next ‘boy’ to come along. Oh, the drama!
Never trust a duck. – Will Herondale

hair I go again
It’s been almost 2 years since I posted about my hair raising experience when ‘Barber Fred’ had surgery. In that time, I’ve gone through my share of wanna be coiffure creators. More recently, I’ve even decided to let the ‘fro grow. For the record, I’m still friends with Jake the bald butcher. Yet, I rarely ask him for advice. Remember, he’s bald. Though, he did recommend a very nice, affordable fish selection last week – Canadian Red Fish. It was quite good.
Fred’s final farewell
When Fred returned from his medical leave, he changed – he got pissy. Can you believe he was mad I found a substitute barber in his absence? As if the whole experience wasn’t hair-iffing enough. After that, I was done with Fred. I’m already surrounded by pissy people in several aspects of my life. Why willingly add another? A haircut is a cathartic experience to be enjoyed. To piss on that is just wrong.
Thankfully, I found ‘Barber Jeff’ – a basic dude that, like Fred, knows his hair. Interesting fact: Jeff actually cuts my hair the way I ask. Odd concept, eh? He also encouraged my growth. I’m talkin’ hair growth, okay. Personal growth is highly overrated. Something, that just doesn’t work for me.
Taming of the … mane
At 52, I have a thick, unruly head of hair. I’m grateful every day for the familial good hair gene. However, with my recent decision, my mane remains untamed. Barber Jeff does NOT believe in thinning shears either. Once, he attempted to explain his reasoning. I stopped him before he even started. I don’t care that much. For me, though, it’s a problem. I really don’t want to spend time ‘styling’ my hair. Contrary to what some may think, I’m not that high-maintenance. Therefore, I must deal with my do.
baseball caps work great – the IOWA hat is my favorite, of course. I also have a SKI Hawaii hat. Where does one ski in Hawaii? I have no idea. I just liked the hat.
I finally bought a comb AND a brush. The instruction manual needed to be downloaded, though. (Pause)
I cannot do any hair products that are scented. So, this limits product availability. And, if there is a hold scale, I need it firm and strong, baby. Hmm… . That’s sounded … questionable.
Jeff recommended hair oil. I’m still getting used to it, but it’s very cool.
I will never, ever, sport the man bun. I hate those fucking things. Besides, my hair really doesn’t grow ‘long’, per say. It defies gravity, growing every which way but down. Think Whoopie Goldberg hair in the humidity of Mid-August. On a white male.
parting thought
Considering that my kids are the pulse of what is hip and trendy, they are hesitant to encourage my new look. So, who knows. My hair today could very well be gone tomorrow.

The Shape of … Easter Candy?
Don’t worry, this post has nothing to do with the Academy Award winning movie The Shape of Water. Rewording the title totally worked for this entry, though. I chose Easter candy because the celebration is, like, next week and I needed to get my annual fix. Throwing shade at retail commercialization of holidays is quite fun.
let’s hop to it
A friend of mine started as a technician, went to pharmacy school, then climbed the store ladder to become management. For the record, I tried to talk him out of every career advancement. He didn’t listen. No one ever does. And, yes, we are still friends. He’s a good guy. Eventually, he grew weary of the retail side and decided to become a corporate suit. Unfortunately, that ‘suit’ didn’t really fit either. Why doesn’t anyone ever listen to me? Fortunately, he is quite motivated and more resourceful than me, so everything worked in his favor.
Once I asked him if there was anything he missed about working retail. He thought for a moment, then responded, “holiday shaped candy.” Sounds funny coming from a grown man, but we all have our indulgences. When working retail pharmacy, it’s the little things in life, or the promotional aisle in this case, that get you through long ass days. If an egg-shaped Snickers bar makes you happy – go for it!
eggistentially shaped
Every holiday has it shapes – some scarier and more questionable than others, of course. I’m pretty basic – Santa and snowman shaped chocolates for Christmas stockings, hearts for Valentine’s Day, and egg shaped Easter chocolates. Once I indulged in green-sprinkled, shamrock shaped butter cookies. Those were from a bakery and don’t count. To be perfectly honest, I have issues with chocolate bunnies. (Pause) Let me rephrase that. My children dislike bunny shaped chocolates because the ears break off too easily.
confectioner peer pressure
Let’s face it – every candy company ‘shaped up’, realizing that fun packaging made it into Easter baskets. In my opinion, there is too much fake peanut butter in the Reese’s egg. It’s all about the ratio, man. Snickers eggs just taste different. And, I prefer Milky Way Dark eggs over Milk Chocolate for some reason. Don’t ask me why. Thankfully, none of these manufacturers hopped on the ‘bunny’ bandwagon. (pun intended). Or ducks for that matter.
the bunny laid that egg
A friend from college loved Cadbury eggs. Gross. I just can’t do that creamy, liquid center thing – sounds and looks absolutely disgusting. Besides, the thought of that much the sugar in one treat is … gross.
my peeps love Peeps
When I was young, marshmallow Peeps where the family bomb. It was our Easter basket staple. Peeps could do any damn shape they wanted as far as my family was concerned. Peeps did bunnies good. I think they even did ducks. (Pause)
Well, I think my rant is over. Whether it’s done or not, it should be over. I was pausing way too much.
Jelly Bird Eggs anyone?

Ode to the Airliner
I was totally stoked when I thought of this idea. It’s amazing how a passing question like ‘does pineapple belong on pizza?’ in a casual conversation could foster such incredible memories. If I could’ve I would’ve gone home that evening and penned this post. At first, I intended to incorporate both pizza and the Airliner into one entry. Then decided each topic deserved their own – pizza was the perfect MasterCard Moment and the Airliner… . Hell, the Airliner was an Ode if there ever was one. To have a Moment and an Ode back to back is postally preposterous.
My pizza piece was quite tasty, if I do say so myself. Unfortunately, every attempt to pen my Airliner Ode was thwarted with frustration. I was blocked, man. It was bad! The thought of what I wanted to write, moreover, the feeling I needed to convey seemed like it would be effortless to put into words. But, it wasn’t. What I wanted was that Stephen King Stand by Me type voice-over moment – a simple, yet eloquent ‘eulogy’ of sort, immortalizing days gone by. Then I realized that my memories were just that – mine. Well, mine and the friends who shared said pizza with sausage, pineapple, and green peppers at the Airliner thirty years ago. Understanding this made my inadequacy a bit more tolerable.
Be this as it all may be, I found a suitable, rhetorical tribute.
It is Iowa City’s oldest and best-known bar. Mostly, it has been a student hangout for generations. In 65 years, it has changed, and not changed. It is still redolent with the smell of beer, which most of its patrons drink. The inside walls are still brick; the ceiling is the same pressed tin. There is still a popcorn machine in the corner. Opposite it is a semi-circular booth with a brass plate. The booth is dedicated to Tom Brokaw, the ex-NBC news anchor who was a student at the University of Iowa in 1958 and 1959. Brokaw left Iowa because he said he spent more time at the Airliner than in class.
On one wall are pictures of naval pre-flight aviation cadets, elbow to elbow at the bar in their whites. It was 1944, when the place became such a hangout for the cadets that it came to be called the Airliner
a ‘professional’ , appropriately cited Ode
This was written in 2009. Thankfully the ‘Liner is still going strong now pushing 75. By the way, this excerpt is a bit more postally appropriate than originally planned. These cadets were ‘in their whites‘ – I could be wrong, but I’m thinkin’ that IS a Plain White T reference.
Everyone has their own Airliner Ode. That metaphorical ‘pizza place’ filled with friends from childhood, high school or college. Am I disappointed with my writer’s blogous interruptous? Not really. I’m comforted. They are MY memories.
If I remember correctly, this song was L 5 on the Airliner jukebox back in 1989.
Yes, the jukebox is still there – with some Spotify downloadable enhancements, of course.
Pints on me!

MasterCard Moment – In Pizza We Crust
number of toppings available: 39 * (of course there’s an asterisks)
number of sauce alternatives: 30
number of crust options: 8 – in just 4 categories, though
college memories of pizza every Sunday at the Airliner in Iowa City: countless (and priceless)
It came up in conversation the other day whether or not pineapple belonged on pizza. Hell, YES! Pineapple definitely belongs on pizza. After I googled everything there is to google about this crusted creation, I found that pizza is an open canvas for everything from extra cheese (boring) to Nutella (gross). Don’t worry, this is not another recipe post. I’m giving Martha a culinary break. But, I haven’t had a ‘Moment’ in a minute. Besides, there’s another reason for this piece of postal pizza. By the way, I guess ‘in a minute‘ is now slang for a long time.
coastal opposites chose pineapple
*There are technically 39 official pizza toppings. However, if you’re talking topping combinations, … . Well, that number can go into the trillions. When I googled the topping options, I was offered a math site link that calculated combinations, including a correspondence between a Domino’s employee and a mathematician. That was a little too much number crunching for me. I’d rather talk topping tendencies.
Hawaiians like … wait for it … artichokes on their pizza. Maine and Oregon chose pineapple. Who knew, eh?
50/51 states chose pepperoni as the meat of choice (Washington D.C. was included in poll)
Nowadays, I like fresh garlic and pepperoni
nuts for Nutella?
Of the 30 options, Nutella for a dessert pizza was the most undesirable. I’m not a fan of hazelnuts.
Marinara is the sauce for me. Always has been – probs always will.
Neapolitan who?
I’m from Chicago, so it’s all about the deep dish. Though, I’m likin’ this thin/flatbread craze.
Thin Crust
Neapolitan Pizza — is credited as being the original Italian pizza – thin, slightly crispy texture, Neapolitan pizzas must meet a very specific set of requirements in order to truly be considered an authentic Neapolitan. It’s from Naples. No surprises there.
New York-Style Pizz a — New York-style crust is slightly crispy on the outside, yet soft and pliable enough to fold the big slices in half. The unique flavor and texture is from high-gluten bread flour and the minerals present in New York City water. Minerals?
St. Louis Pizza — is characterized by its round, thin, unleavened, cracker-like crust and slices cut into squares or rectangles rather than wedges.
Flatbread Crust
This lighter, thin crust is ideal for appetizers and personal-sized pizzas, appealing option for gourmet and trendy toppings like balsamic and spinach.
Thick Crust
Traditional Pan Pizza — is a happy medium for most pizza lovers and made widely popular by Pizza Hut
Deep Dish Pizza — commonly known as Chicago-style, baked in an oiled deep-dish pan to create a crispy, sometimes buttery, fried effect on the outside of the crust.
Sicilian Pizza — is known for its thick, rectangle-shaped crust, often over an inch thick.
Focaccia
This thick, bread-like dough is brushed with olive oil before baking, then covered with cheeses, herbs and spices.
As for those countless (and priceless) Airliner memories, … .
To be continued.

cite this
A few weeks back my son outed me. No, it’s nothing that scandalous. However, the ramifications of his observation could get me in some legal trouble. Again. So, I am setting things straight. (pun intended)
I sent him the link to my blog when I posted about the plain white t-shirt. He was the one who introduced me to that SNL short. I thought he would get a kick out of the usage. He only reads my blog periodically. He’s twenty years old and a full-time student – totally understandable. And, … I’m good with that.
The next time we talked, he mentioned the entry. We commented on Ben Stiller’s hair and about the fact that it was probably intentional. Then, he paused. “You didn’t cite your source when you archived the history of the t-shirt,” he said nonchalantly. I was proud of his due diligence. After I acknowledged his insight, I stated that I had block quoted the information. By doing so, I informally told the blogging world that those were NOT my words. It’s. The. Internet. That particular blurb was from Wikipedia, if I remember correctly. Everything on that site, and the internet for that matter, is true. (note: sarcasm) Thus, the basis for my lack of … concern.
Later that day, I thought about what he had said and reexamined my responsibilities as a blogger.
I include the link where I find my material – usually immediately following the information. I never technically ‘cite my source’ though.
I ALWAYS attempt to find a musical link supplied by VEVO , the artist’s website, or ‘Official’ Videos. A video ‘fueled by Ramon‘ just doesn’t work for me. Piracy is BAD. I would never knowingly engage in such activity.
I block out direct quotes or material I don’t paraphrase.
when I do a bullet-point presentation, the information is from numerous websites, then reworded.
this is an informal blog – usually including my rambling Random Nonsense. So, if anyone wants to take what I say seriously, they’re just fucking stupid.
I casually mention the author/reference in the text. i.e. – the garlic soup recipe was from Martha Stewart. Yes, I should’ve documented that it was from meatless from the kitchens of martha stewart living . But, I think “this is a Martha recipe” is suitable for my purposes. Besides, I am referencing an icon – feeding egos is important. (pun intended)
lastly, I googled it. According to a non-practicing lawyer (whatever that is), I’m good. I regularly do more than the average blogger. So, I’m really good.
Since I’m talking blog. I saw the Blog Master recently. My site still looks the same – which is fine. But I’s been updated. WordPress version 4.9.4, baby. I’m still getting used to the nuances of the new format. Some links – especially those ‘Official’ music videos – appear as Official Videos not as highlighted stupid comment of mine that go to the site. It’s a bit cumbersome, but I’ll deal.
Speaking of that, my daughter found a ‘spicy’ , yet appropriately themed musical video about my alleged blogging altercation.
Final verdict – innocent. Commence blogging.
