I did the story of producer Norman Whitfield and his work at Motown some months ago. When he replaced Smokey Robinson as producer of the Temptations, he turned the group in a darker and more profound direction. This came in at #6 this week.

The Temptations: “Run Away Child, Running Wild”

I have a slight hearing impairment (probably from too many years in the rhythm section), so when I rent a movie, I put the English Subtitles on. I still listen intently, but the subtitles fill in anything I might miss due to ambient sound or swelling background music. Even so, the dialogue in 2 was crisper and more easy to hear than in one.

Here is a great trivia question.

A Star Trek actor appeared in 1.
Another Star Trek Actor appeared in 2.

Who were They?

Answer: Armin Shimmerman, who played “Quark” in Deep Space Nine, played Dr. Ferris in 1.

Robert Picardo, the Emergency Medical Hologram on Voyager, was in 2.

Both actors played “Government Scientists”.

Ah, thank you.

I went to the official movie site and tried to find the cast but couldn’t find it.

It was one of the most successful police shows in TV history, and this was the theme. It came in at #51 this week on its way to the Top 10. “Book ‘em, Dan-o!”

The Ventures: “Hawaii Five-O”

Hubby fixed steak and blanched asparagus tonight.

Now that's a good dinner!

[Drumbo]

I’m ashamed to say I did not know that, but then again I’m just an old school Trekkie. Deep Space Nine and Voyager are out of my bailiwick.

What a story, ML! It's amazing the way that that barber touched you in a way that you could never have expected.

It puts me in mind of a quote from a very famous movie uttered by an Angel-in-Training:

"Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"

You never know the paths others have taken or the travails others have endured when you first encounter them.

When I was stationed at the Naval Hospital in Quantico, VA, I met a Marine Officer, Major Rick Spooner, who was ready to retire and opened a restaurant in Q-town. I was a regular patron from its inception and with my fellow Corpsman, Doc John Lesko, shut the place down on many a night. I knew then that he was great Marine and Officer, as well as a consummate gentleman, and with his the help of his wife, an urbane and genial host.

His restaurant prospered and became famous among Marines and others, including FBI Agents, whose training school is located at Quantico. It is the famous Globe & Laurel, featured in the novels of Patricia Cornwell. It has moved twice and is now a magnificent establishment near the South Gate to MCB Quantico. When I took my son John Man to visit the Marine Corps Museum last year and introduced him to the Major, over forty years since I first met the Major, I learned that sixty years ago he was captured by the Japanese and spent several years as a Prisoner of War. I don't have to tell you what kind of conditions he endured, as did many of our "Greatest Generation."

God Bless him and God Bless them all!



"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Jason Beghe, who played Hank Rearden in Part 2, has a recurring role in “Californication” due to his longtime friendship with David Duchovny.
