  • A large spider has been taunting me the last two nights.  She’ll spin a large web that goes from our tree to our trampoline, but when I check on it in the morning, it’s gone.  Here’s a picture from the first night (high-res)and here’s the picture from the second night (high-res).  In that first high-res pic you can see her eyes glowing, which kinda creeps me out.  I sprayed some bug spray on her last night and she pretty much flipped me the bird and crawled to the tree.  Now I have a feeling the next time I mow the lawn she’s gonna pounce on me with extreme vengeance.
  • My allergies for the past week have been worst than the spring.
  • Letterman very rarely has his first guest stick around for the second guest, but last night Denzel Washington decided to hang around for his friend Lenny Kravitz.  Kravitz mentioned that his uncle was recently posthumously given the Medal of Honor.  He just played it so cool last night, not only did he sit and chat with Dave and Denzel before he played, but during the commercial break he was singing with Paul and the band.  Denzel actually introduced Kravitz before his number, it was almost like SNL.
  • Of all the smart phones I’ve owned, I enjoyed the Palm Pre the most and still miss it.
  • Another thought about ‘The Roosevelts’ – It certainly was something when FDR broke with President Washington’s tradition of only running/serving two terms, but I also thought it was interesting that he highly considered being the first president to resign from office – something he wanted to do after he saw the war effort come to an end.

The makeup artist who has seen it all

Riccie Johnson, CBS makeup artist for 62 years, has powdered all the greats — The Beatles, Sinatra, and U.S. presidents. And she’s still at it.

  • Sinatra warned her not to mess up his toupee.
  • McCartney actually remembered her from ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’.
  • I’m surprised Clinton didn’t want much makeup.
  • She actually got an apology from Ann Richards, but I’m not sure if it was genuine, it was has to tell if she was ticked or being kind.
