Opening Stuff:

I’d like to say that the reason The Tids was short and late is because I was in deep reverential state. But God doesn’t like you to lie during Holy Week. Basically I just blew it

I really like to write above the fray, bur the political fray is much too juicy. I’m just lowering my standards like the rest of America. Does that make me more Patriotic?

Haden wrote his “Surprise Symphony” mainly because the audience seemed to be sleeping tough most of his other effrits. I always associate the great composer with dozing. Hint: The Surprise in the Surprise symphony isn’t that startling.

The stock of too many companies soars on rumors of buy-outs, and not necessarily on whether or not it has the goods to grow. One of the bigger problems is that the run-up of stock prices based on initial growth may or may not be sustainable. The trick is to see plateaus forming, despite words of encouragement from management.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but he never high fived at a baseball game in Cuba or tangoed in Argentina while blood flowed on the streets. Trying out for Dancing with the Stars?

The Line of the week: This from a caller to a local talk show: “Obama is acting a lot like a RI state Worker two months before he gets his pension.”

I could have said that I was late today because I was having trouble getting my blue Easter egg dye blue enough. But, Shrillary has encouraged not to fib, but just change the subject.

The Answer:

Ken Howard is bets known for his role In White Shadow. He was also highly respected  President of SAG. Bonus: Ok, so it isn’t Woolrich. #1 is Armani followed by Ralph Loren, Hugo Boss, Clavin Klein, Burberry, Gucci, Prada, Tom Ford, Dolce & Gabbana, Levi Strauss, Christian Dior, Lacoste, Tommy Hilfiger and Nike (?). The rest to 2o are Banana Republic, Kenneth Cole, Dockers, DKNY and Ermenegildo Zegna. Actually Woolrich is #42. Brooks Brothers is 26.

Actually I got a lot done today, just not for you. The truth hurts, doesn’t it.

Tomorrow I will be short again but long on feeling for Easter weekend.
