Of course, nothing will ever be as loyal and cuddly as PRIVACY. Do you remember what that was like, you know, back B.B. (Before Bush). Privacy was once FREEDOM’s sibling. Older brother, I think. Anyway if you want to check out what that Big Brother has become, check this out. Pretty scary.

For The Love of Yo-Yo’s
When I was around ten I learned to “Walk The Dog”, “Rock The Baby”, and “Round The World”. I was IT. Why? Because I had a YO-YO, and, boy, could I do some mean tricks! I think it was a “Satellite” which was a butterfly shaped yo-yo that lit up when you made it “sleep”. At that time, it was pretty much the definition of cool.
Oh, how love can grow deeper by the day!
