The Moon Is Red


Some people -- women, in particular -- might look at the moon differently that me.

When I see a crescent moon, I think: Ah, how lovely.

When a woman sees the same moon, she might think: Oh God, it's about time when my period should start.

I've never asked a woman that question. It's a little too personal, and I've never been close enough to one to ask that and not either be slapped or hated.

All That Different?

Actor, director and artist Dennis Hopper ...


And actor and butter scotch stallion Owen Wilson.

Because of the age difference, this doesn't fit into the Separate At Birth category. However, they look enough alike to resemble kinfolks: A father and son or an uncle and nephew.

A Puzzle About Crosswords

How do we know if the crossword in yesterday's newspaper is new? That it wasn't printed before -- say in 1957?

Does the crossword puzzle industry police itself? Or are there independent monitors?

Do the crossword puzzle creators follow a sense of duty and of honesty to be original? Or do the folks that syndicate the crossword puzzles have records to check?

Brides And A Specific Piece Of Clothing

Note: Years ago -- I don't know when -- I wrote these words. I post them here for you to ponder, like I have.
*
How many brides have walked down the church aisle during the wedding ceremony without underwear?

Why do they do that? For the hell of it? The last yell of a free spirit? Defiance of the parents for putting on a big ceremony that wasn't wanted?

And how can you or I or anyone know how many brides have done that?

That's impossible to know, but I believe you would get some very interesting stories if you asked why the brides did that.

But if you post a request like that on the internet, it sounds creepy.

I guess we'll never know.
