Lyndy Week Three NoTV 8/30/2010 PDF Print E-mail

Today marks the third Monday since I left morning television.

I really noticed the difference Sunday afternoon, even Sunday morning. For years my Sunday has ended as  early as I could arrange it. Every day ended as early as I could arrange it. I have spent 21 years focused primarily of making sure I got to bed early enough. Only "early enough" never had a solid definition. It just kept getting earlier.

Now the alarm is set for 5:10am. It hasn't gone off yet, I wake up naturally about 4:45.

I have used coffee as a time and energy compressor since the 80's

Ten to twelve cups each day.

Just buzzing throught the morning.

Now I drink one cup a morning.

There have been some adjustment issues, a few headaches, changes in body patterns.

Easier than I thought it would be.

No big crash at midday.

Feeling pretty good so far.

What a shock to hear that Ron Higgins is dead. I first met Ron during the filming of "Glory".
The civil war story was being filmed in Savannah and Ron was an extra, he offered to provide personal reports from the set.

So for a few weeks Ron appeared on television each Tuesday morning and described his experiences as a movie extra.

What I recall best about those reports was the enthusiasm Ron projected. He was convinced, way back then, that there was a way to make a living working around the movies made in and around Savannah. That was almost 21 years ago.

Ron's  vision of the future wasn't clear enough to predict the tour empire that he would eventually put together, but it was clear Ron wasn't going to be stopped in his efforts to be a success in his hometown.

For most folks who appear as an extra in a movie the experience is memorable, and mostly enjoyable. Ron Higgins saw  his small role as an open door to a new world of opportunity.

Rest in Peace old friend.

We are growing vegetables at my house this year.
This week I am starting a bunch of different types of peppers indoors and gathering the containers for the part of the garden that will be grown that way.
It's still early for most of the vegetables we will be trying to grow.
Not too early for potatoes and I bought a couple of pounds of seeds potatoes last week.
There is a difference between baking potatoes and seed potatoes, the baking potatoes have been sprayed with chemicals to slow or stop the formation of "eyes" on the potato.
That's why we don't see eyes on store bought potatoes anymore. 

Avoiding such chemicals is one good reason to grow your own. 
The economy is another.
A pound of seed potatoes cut up and planted could produce a hundred one pound potatoes.
At a dollar a pound that's 400 dollars from a 50 cent cash investment.
There are other factors that could limit that return.
Just like investing in  anything else.
I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Just reading the story about the Balloon Boy's mom and dad taking a plea deal for probation in Colorado.
There's no money to pay any restitution and the sheriff out there in Fort Collins already said there is not enough room in Colorado prisons for any first time felons.
Maybe they will get a bunch of community service hours.

Can't you see the TV helicopters following Richard and Mayumi as they pick up trash along the Colorado roadsides.
Maybe Richard will do a scientific examination of the accumulated garbage, searching for signs of alien life among the debris.

I saw a headline this week calling the golf ball the signature human trash item.

I figure if you can identify humans by their golf balls there must be a way to pick out alien garbage being slipped into our landfills..
Probably a TV show in that idea, you are welcome to it..
Good luck.
Send me some money if it gets you a reality show.

The reality I'd like to see on TV is the Heene kids being taken away from their nutball parents..
