Thought of the Day
Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.

1) Cute, though fallacious. (The correct group seems to be "football players, with sign language, on the field". Col. Mustard, with a pipe, in the drawing room seems to be second.)
2) Isn't the person you quote usually referred to by his first, middle, and last names?
And off topic:
3) There seems to be a change to your template such that an F5 reload is required to see any new content when using Firefox. I suspect this to be pushed down from Blogger, since I've seen the same change recently at other Blogger sites.

Rap artists at awards shows have put on a recent push for the prize. My memory is that Heywood Hale Broun is the quoted person's son, but my memory has been spotty recently. I wish I knew what Firefox was vis a vis computers. Have no idea what you're talking about but D and I have been talking about a new design and hoster for the site. We'll see.
Firefox = better browser than Internet Explorer (Value judgement based on my own experience and that of most people whose reports I've seen.)
What I suspect is happening is that Firefox is reading from its cache rather than from the website itself. The difference is probably somewhere in the header information before you get to the page itself. If you compare an old local copy of a page with a current page, you'll probably see the difference pretty easily.

Roger is correct. The quote was by Heywood Broun, (December 7, 1888-December 18, 1939) NY journalist, sportswriter, columnist and editor who was a member of the Algonquin Round Table.
His son was Heywood Hale Broun (March 10, 1918- September 5, 2001)who was a sports commentator for CBS. Somewhat irreverent, HHB covered the Masters wearing a deerstalker hat and cape.
About Carl Yastrzemski and the 1967 Red Sox, HHB wrote: "He was not just hitting home runs but was, in fact, accomplishing the ninth labor of Hercules, bringing a championship to Boston, a city whose previous baseball idol, Ted Williams, resembled another Greek, Achilles, who fought a great fight but spent a lot of time sulking in his tent."
I miss guys like him and Red Smith.

Thanks, Tony. I guess that would be why the son used all three names. Another argument against naming your children after yourself.
True, but when you have the same name as your father, you get to use his credit card and no one even looks hard at you. So there's that.
